A podcast exploring the changing nature of retail.
The Era of the Customer Channel
We’ve entered a new era of retail, the era of the Customer Channel, where Shoppers rule. This requires retailers and brands to be empathetic and supportive of their customers in every way.
Co-hosted by Jeff Fisher & Cristene Gonzalez-Wertz, RETAIL DONE RIGHT is a podcast that explores these changes, identifies trends, shares insights and speaks with a variety of people in the trenches to better understand the changing nature of retail.

In a follow up to our final Retail Trend, Retail Media Networks, we share a rich conversation with Francisco Larrain, CTO at Topsort, an innovative tech company that enables retailers and marketplaces to quickly launch, scale and intelligently optimize ad businesses with AI-based retail media infrastructure.
The sixth, and final, episode of our mini-series is titled, Retail Media. We discuss this new frontier. These brand or company-specific networks allow a brand to create media experiences across the customer journey.
The fifth episode of our mini-series is titled, Talent. We discuss all things talent and talent management where new thinking is required.
The fourth episode of our mini-series is titled, The Current State of ESG and Sustainability, where we discuss shifting perspectives. We’re joined by a returning guest and friend of Retail Done Right, Juli Lassow.
While it’s called tech debt, it’s really about business strategy – and the ability of the business and the ability of all its systems to respond to customers and changes in the market.
This is another trend we saw come up through the WARDLEY maps. Supply chains came to the breaking point during the pandemic but they were stressed beforehand. As complexity increased – distance, currencies, intermediaries – new ways of working, rapid changes in communications modes.
Omnichannel has nothing to do with the customer. Customers don’t see channels. They see tasks and transactions. Why can’t we? (It’s because we are tied to staying in old lanes; because it’s easier to measure and we think we know the metrics.)

Retail dynamics, psychological safety and challenging your people
From my days working in retail to now advising retailers, I’ve observed that retail work and life have some fuzzier boundaries than in other industries. Separating “work” from “non-work” became significantly harder in the pandemic. It certainly became more confusing as some of the least paid employees were deemed essential…

The Relevance of Physical Retail
The death of physical retail has been predicted for quite some time. This sentiment has grown during the Covid-19 pandemic as e-commerce numbers increase. It is true that the pandemic has accelerated trends that were well underway prior to the pandemic; “normal” is no more. Physical retail is not dead.…
