The retail landscape is evolving. Today, the companies that win will be those that blend human talent and technology, and that can effectively implement technology into processes that solve real-world problems. In this digital space, personalization presents a key opportunity to the retail value chain of the future. These were central themes that BCG’s John Wagner explored during his keynote session ‘Unlocking the Power of Personalization’ at the 2024 Retail Asia Forum organized by Charlton Media Group in Bangkok last week. He spoke about the key trends setting the mid-term agenda for retailers and shared insights on the personalization maturity of companies, highlighting the value that personalization can unlock. His presentation included examples of how personalization has been adopted by consumer and retail companies, as well as a deep dive into one company's personalization journey.
