@evankirstel - standards are always going to remain critical

the tech giants are coming! #amazon

@evankirstel - everyone is looking for ways to stay "in the game"

- I'd say "everything" ;-)

John Stancliffe

private label/subscription based retail - it's hot and getting hotter!

@evankirstel Coming...they are already here...

- would almost be easier to try and list what "is not" impacting #retail / #retailers as it seems that EVERY shift / change / trend is touching how we buy / sell / consume today

- this is probably the #1 board room agenda topic surely, "what is impacting our business today" ;-)

Those huge players, are huge threats to small businesses...like chemists and newsagents..

Just like booksellers and bookshops died out because of Amazon....

@johnniethesith - was interesting to see a report yesterday saying that GAMES are outperforming Music & Movies combined !!

Focus on the customer experience and being efficiency in the acquisition and disposal of stock...

Consider new ways of managing the customer experience...I went into Specsaves yesterday and they had a triage person....ready to understand my need.....and then pass me to the appropriate shop queue....

games these days are so incredibly immersive and long-form. It used to be you played a game, beat it and moved on. Nowadays beating a game only covers about half of what you're able to do. Imagine that + VR + 5G.

SDWAN and Edge computing allow upgraded and secure customer experiences/app integration. 5G will redefine the industry once its full capabilities become common expectations. Customers will expect modern experiences in seconds as the convenience 5G allows becomes standard.

- the interesting thing about #retail is that whole industry has already had #edge in play with EFTpos, ATM, smart cash trays / tills, device buying ( i.e. smart phones etc ), tracking, logistics, transport, warehousing etc..

flexibility is paramount

Wow...what a question....Blockchain I think is too immature...it's at best a proof of concept...I haven't seen any my students implementing anything in production currently...

5g is a gamechanger for small business in particularly...it provides another leveller against the larger players in this era of digital disruption...the era where small business eats big....
