High Velocity Retail

Retail has been speeding up for a long time. But speed is not just an internal phenomenon. The customer is captive no more: expectations, information, choice – and therefore competition – have exploded.

Retailers recognise change is needed: 76% of retailers believe their business model needs to fundamentally change to keep up with the pace of evolution in the industry. Whilst the speed of change may be overwhelming, there are key ways to win.

We partnered with the World Retail Congress to bring you the exclusive High Velocity Retail report. In formulating this report, we interviewed the leaders of global retailers from across the evolutionary spectrum to understand how they are developing their businesses within a High Velocity Retail world.
