Most retailers know they have an inventory problem. What the data shows is how deep it runs. The retailers closing the gap aren't patching existing systems, they're rethinking how inventory data flows, how decisions get made, and how execution is coordinated across every node in real time. Swipe through to see what the data reveals.

Not every retail format is heading to the same place by 2030. Apparel crosses the majority-digital threshold. Grocery stays physical and bets on retail media. Specialty bets on talent and brand purpose as the one advantage no algorithm can replicate. Three formats. Three different 2030s. Check out our Global Retail CXO Outlook: Roadmap to 2030, produced with World Retail Congress in partnership with Manhattan Associates, where we break down what each one means in practice: https://bit.ly/3ORYoLh Imogen Jones Niamh Stone Tony Wood Pieter Van den Broecke (he/him/his) Lindsay Rieman Mara Dosso Gaurav Pant Girijesh Agarwal Amarjot Mokha David Weinand Raunak Singh Taneja Bill Little Sumit Shrivastava Varun Lalla #RetailStrategy #RetailFormats #DigitalRetail #CXO #Incisiv

Last week at The Lead Summit 2026, Gaurav Pant sat down with Assaf Ronen, President of HFG and CEO of HelloFresh NA,  for a fireside on AI-Led Business Transformation. A few things that stuck with us: 👉 The winners aren't waiting on "hype vs. reality." They're running focused experiments and scaling what works. 👉 Org design is the hidden variable. The real unlock isn't the technology — it's building teams that can move with it. 👉 Slow feedback loops kill AI strategy. Velocity matters as much as outcomes. Thanks to The Lead for creating a stage where operators can speak candidly — and to Assaf for sharing so generously. More insights to come. Follow Incisiv for our ongoing coverage of how leading consumer brands are navigating the AI era. #AITransformation #RetailLeadership #TheLead2026 #IncisivInsights Mara Dosso David Weinand Bill Little Girijesh Agarwal Amarjot Mokha Sumit Shrivastava Varun Lalla Noah Gellman Kim Fox

The personalization gap is not a data gap. Most retailers have the data. The problem is that preferences, history, and stated needs never reach the conversation. Context resets every time a channel switches. Conversational commerce closes the gap between what retailers know and what actually informs each interaction.

The same external pressures are producing very different strategic responses across global markets. APAC is accelerating. Social commerce, livestreaming, and AI-driven discovery are already commercial realities there. LATAM is building, investing in supply chain foundations while eyeing the opportunity ahead. The US is focused and deliberate, doubling down on customer data as its primary counter to platform competition. EMEA is defending, with nearly half the market in a cautious posture as margin pressure and ultra-fast disruptors close in. Four markets. Four rational responses. Our Global Retail CXO Outlook: Roadmap to 2030, produced with World Retail Congress in partnership with Manhattan Associates, explores where each one leads by 2030.

🚨 Final call: Happening tomorrow! Why do solid financial plans still result in diminishing margins? It isn't a flawed strategy. It is the delay between insight and action. Join us tomorrow to unpack the "latency tax." We'll explore new research on the costly gap forcing retail teams into reactive cycles of markdowns, and show you how to eliminate this operational friction to move at the speed of change. Featured Speakers: 🎙️ James Theuerkauf, VP Product at Anaplan 🎙️ Gaurav Pant, Co-Founder & Chief Insights Officer at Incisiv 🎙️ David Weinand, Co-Founder & Chief Customer Officer at Incisiv Don't let the latency tax hold your strategy back.

Nearly every supply chain executive believes AI is critical. But few have actually deployed it where it matters most. Most deployments add another analytical layer, while decision authority stays human and slow. In exception management, where a delayed response becomes a markdown, deployment sits at just 13%. AI is scaling visibility. It is not yet scaling execution. Read where AI is deployed, where it is not, and why the gap keeps widening in the study, created in partnership with World Retail Congress and Anaplan: https://bit.ly/4uenp2m #WorldRetailCongress #SupplyChain #RetailStrategy #Anaplan Greg Babel Imogen Jones Niamh Stone Mara Dosso Gaurav Pant David Weinand Girijesh Agarwal Amarjot Mokha Bill Little Raunak Singh Taneja Sumit Shrivastava Varun Lalla

Most retail CXOs say their organizations cannot move faster than the competition. Speed is not a technology problem. It is a structural one. How decisions get made and where accountability sits determine how fast a business can move. AI cannot make a slow organization fast. Governance and accountability can.
