This is a recap of the innovation insights I shared during the Transforming Retail With Virtual Reality workshop held on Wed Nov 25, 2020

Retail industry was one of the most severely impacted by the pandemic. It is also the one that will benefit the most from innovation.

As The Ontario Government announces the conditions for re-opening safely during phase-3, it is important to consider what else is top of mind for the concerned customer. This is especially true for those in retail due to the shared communal spaces. I recently spoke at an event hosted by the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce, focused on preparing retail businesses for re-opening, keeping in mind that unpredictability will continue to be a part of the economic landscape.
