Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ?
Gary Hawkins grew up in the grocery store business in upstate NY (also on a farm, about 30 minutes from my parents’ organic venison farm) and became a trailblazer on retailing for global consumer products companies. He wrote a fascinating white paper on Retail 4.0 – and here he talks us through versions 1.0 thru 4.0, converging technologies, automation of business processes, transforming the lemonade stand into digital networks, and (after 25:34) how to prepare any business for growth through an exponential mindset, “guardrails for an uncertain path” and how certain expectations help us to embrace change.
27:53 – “You have to believe that something is at least possible before you can begin to effect any kind of change.”
You can reach out to Gary by emailing gary.hawkins@advancingretail.org.
Always growing.
