The biggest threats to retail are hiding in plain sight. And the biggest problems facing retailers are caused by not asking the right questions. This is not convenient management theory; it is missing the key signals that are reshaping the retail industry. Join Shelley and David Katz, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Randa Apparel and Accessories, as they challenge why reading the headlines is not the same as understanding what those headlines mean and why they matter. David’s gray swan model reveals how key trends are bellwethers for significant shifts. Listen and learn why boomers in America, GLP-1s’ resizing of America, climate risk, and supply chain concentration are trigger events that retailers need to pay attention to. This conversation is surprising and provocative, and a call to action for critical scenario planning and foresight.
