In the evolving world, we are seeing 6 new business models emerge across the retail industry. Each one is driven by sustainability, with a particular focus on improving the environmental aspects. However, each business model also comes with their own challenges and impacts to the existing operating model. Join Oliver Banks to explore and understand these 6 business models that are becoming increasingly popular in the retail space.

Listen to this episode of the podcast to hear:

  • Why “new” is not necessarily always new.
  • The similarities and differences between the different models.
  • The key challenges that you’ll need to resolve in order to realise each new business model.
