A Baker's Dozen of Provocative Predictions for Retail in 2024

A Baker's Dozen of Provocative Predictions for Retail in 2024

Once again it's time for Steve's annual retail predictions--and this list doesn't just go to eleven it goes to thirteen!

Steve's provocative prognostications include "the bifurcation of just about everything," the culling of the unicorn herd, thoughts on the future of Neiman Marcus, Saks, and Nordstrom, along with a possible AI themed action movie, the outlook for sustainability, retailers stepping up their health services offerings, and a whole lot more.

But as is our custom, we kick off with our hot takes on the week in retail news, including Temu's decision to 10X its advertising, layoffs at Levi's and eBay, and Macy's telling its real suitors to go pound sand. We also dip into the end of the "new department store" era, Ikea's new "plan & pick up" concept expansion, and a possible return to supply chain chaos.

Presented by Celonis.

Steve's new book--"Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption"--will be released March 12th. And for a limited time pre-order it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop,org, or any other retailer worldwide, and get some very special FREE bonuses.
