AI continues to make headline news throwing retailers into disruption. But the real news is that retail is in crisis and it’s in the physical store. Join Shelley and Mark Cohen, TRR contributor and former Director of Columbia University's Retail Studies Program, as they challenge the industry's obsession with technology and make an unapologetic case for getting back to basics. Listen and learn from a blunt, provocative conversation about the state of retail; it may make you feel uncomfortable, but it is an unvarnished assessment of how an obsession with AI is incapable of replacing intuition, vision, leadership, and the unpredictable human behavior that drives the retail industry.
Special Guest: Mark Cohen. TRR Contributor, former Director of Columbia University's Retail Studies Program, Retail CEO Veteran
