Problem
#1
Never short of ideas, the challenge is making them happen

Problem
#4
Scale & complexity of our business makes innovation harder to land
Copyright © 2014
Start small, think big Prototypes, MVP, experiments
Copyright © 2014
Problem
#5
Innovation can be seen as a distinct activity, rather than something that the business as a whole does to survive.

SMART RETAIL

Neuroimaging research[2] has reported spikes in reward-circuit dopamine activity related to shopping, similar to those seen in addictive behaviors, such as drug use and overeating
DEEPLY DUMB: RETAIL AND PRIMAL INSTINCTS

“So strong is the endowment effect that we don't have to physically own something for the effect to take hold. The mere suggestion of ownership is enough to get our guns going. One recent study found that people who touched an item felt an increased sense of ownership toward it.” (Peck & Shu, via FastCoDesign)

“No matter how much smarter or more experienced we have become, there's still something called "retail magic," where someone is able to put something out there in a way that makes us fall in love with it and have to have it.” (PACO UNDERHILL)

“…according to a French study the phenomenon still swings a considerable number of shoppers. Researchers found that lowering the price of a pizza from 8.00 euros to 7.99 euros boosted sales by 15%.” (BBC)

After investigating a marked drop in melon sales, a retail psychologist's report for Tesco suggested that the modern preference for smaller breasts, as modeled by the likes of the superwaif Kate Moss, is informing customers' decisions to reject larger melons. The company has instructed growers in Spain to produce Galia melons of no more than 0.55kg, rather than the 1kg melons that were proving slow to sell. A Tesco spokesman insisted that the sales results spoke for themselves. 'Since we introduced the smaller melons two months ago we have sold more than a million.’ (THE GUARDIAN)

A Few Debates
Where are we on the smart-dumb scale? To compete in future, where should we be? For the hybrid digital/physical ‘total retail’ era…(centred on the customer not the channel) - What are our challenges? - What are our conflicts? - What are the key opportunities?
