Retail Industry Consulting
Program Overview
With COVID-19 changing the way people interact with each other and the shift in people’s shopping habits, it is critical for retailers to adapt. While 1:1 retailing may have been a shopping method in the past, shoppers may not want to interact with others. Additionally, trying clothes on and touching many different articles will result in new processes that could result in additional labour and costs. To make matters more complex, there is not a single silver bullet for all industry segments – for instance, luxury is different from fast fashion; grocery different from off price. As for the health and industry, this is demonstrating all new challenges of its own. Ultimately, the market as a whole is changing. Retailers are struggling to navigate how to keep up with a market that is consistently changing while ensuring they adapt to such changes, all the while leveraging investments previously made. Accenture’s role is to provide the appropriate consulting, guidance, and support to this ever-changing retail market.
