Remarkable Retail

25

If we had to pick a couple of words to describe the last few years, "volatile" and "uncertain" are very likely to be at the top of anyone's list.What words and themes will define this next year? Chaos? Clarity? Prosperity? Purpose?Will struggling retailers at long last make the bold leaps they must, or edge ever closer to the precipice? Can the promises of innovation be met, taking consumer experiences to new heights?/2025 looks to be a year where agility and resilience reign supreme as retailers must navigate a world of accelerating technological change, constrained consumer spending, new political realities, and greater power concentrated among only a handful of large retailers.When more and more change is certain, but the way forward is often less than clear, you need a compass, a map, keen insight and no-nonsense advice.This is Steve Dennis, strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and best-selling author. I invite you to join me and fellow retail insider Michael LeBlanc each week as we make sense of an increasingly volatile and uncertain retail world.The Remarkable Retail podcast is the only podcast hosted by two of the NRF's 2025 Top Retail Voices.

    Deep Insights into Timely Events
    I appreciate Steve’s deep insights into the rapidly changing retail environment. His thoughts penetrate deeper than conventional knowledge and he unearths the meaningful powers and influences that are changing retail forever in consumer behavior, competitive strategies of retail competitors, and the supply chain of finished goods journeying from the ports and factories to the hands of customers. I really like his wide ranging curiosity.
