Retail Reimagined: Maximising the Value of AI
Helping retail leaders turn AI potential into AI performance
With unprecedented levels of rapid change across the Retail & Consumer sector, we are launching a Northern based community who can come together each quarter to discuss the latest hot topics and share experiences – our Retail & Consumer Northern Quarterly events.
In our first event, PwC sector leaders will unpack how Retailers can move from the AI-first vision to an actionable and quantifiable roadmap which delivers benefits in the near-term to self-fund initiatives in the medium-term.
Retail is undergoing a fundamental transformation, with AI and agentic technologies rapidly reshaping how retailers operate, compete, and grow.
The event explores:
• An overview of the latest market landscape and the hot topics our client are asking
• The vision for AI-first retail and where the value of AI is likely to play out
• The future AI-first business model, where intelligence is embedded across the end-to-end customer journey and enterprise operating model to break down functional silos
• Interactive demos of reimagined E2E value chains which bring Agentic AI to life
• Real client examples of how others are already realising the benefits of implementing Agentic AI
• Practical guidance with a two-track approach which protects today's margin and unlocks tomorrow’s growth
