Enabling a Digital Transformation Roadmap for Retailers​​

Due to the interest of more than 200 business leaders, Dr. Barbara E. Kahn and Softtek created a special session in which we uncover how retailers reacted and succeed during the crisis and identified and created a digital roadmap that acted as a critical enabler to grow, reduce operational costs and increase savings.

Uncover what you and your team need to lead in the new retail environment. Drop us your contact information and request a sponsored session by Softtek.

Rapid innovation from incumbent and digitally native retailers has radically changed consumer expectations, and as this pace accelerates, you may be considering how your brand can compete and win in the era of endless disruption.

As you and your team continue to recover from the most disruptive retail environment in history, take a moment to download and complete Softtek's Retailing Success Canvas- inspired by Dr. Barbara E. Kahn's Retailing Success Matrix. The Canvas is a helpful framework that can be used to help uncover and describe how you stack up against your competition and pinpoint where you may be missing the opportunity to add value and differentiate through your continuous business transformation efforts.

Step 1: First, map out the key characteristics of your retail operation, plus your competition— across all four quadrants of the Canvas.
