From fragile lab environments to a cracked data foundation, they break down the roadblocks stalling retail innovation.INSIDE THE EPISODE:- Why teams must build store tools for physical durability rather than treating them as fragile science experiments- How central strategic alignment solves the 95% failure rate of AI pilots- Why you must clean up baseline inventory metrics before touching advanced AI- How to shift evaluation metrics away from abstract vendor marketing and toward real operational numbersStop blindly throwing disconnected tools at your tech stack. Listen to the full conversation above to see how teams turn experimental pilots into operational realities.
