Lessons from Retail Transformation Live: Collaboration, community, communication

Last week Oliver Banks responded to the cancellation of one of many industry and networking events by creating his own online alternative Retail Transformation Live.

Maybe* was proud to partner with the event and we were delighted to connect to many retailers and thought leaders trying to get a jump on what the retail industry will look like in the coming months and years. Crises such as these often spark innovation and rapid change in the way things are done. While times are tough, using this time to get creative, collaborate and share ideas is time well spent.

Watch the replays from the event

Maybe* spent the day listening and learning from experts, as well as contributing to a panel discussion, the highlights of which you can read here. But most importantly we wanted to use the day to identify the most common challenges and pain points businesses and anyone involved or interested in the future of the UK’s retail industry or High Streets are facing now, and need to solve for in the short term future.

Three key themes emerged - collaboration, community and communication

Over the coming week we’ll be sharing some of the pain points we’ve identified as well as our thoughts, and the data we have access to that could be used to spark solutions.
