Abstract
The retail arena is undergoing great transformations, also due to constantly connected consumers with 24hrs access to a global shopping experience, at their smartphone length. What does this mean for traditional retailers? How are new players eroding incumbents’ share of the market? How do you re-invent your business and your experience when you don’t know who your competitors are anymore? The workshop will investigate these questions and discuss about how a service design approach can help retailers to face these challenges and drive digital transformation in the post-commerce era.

How service design can drive the digital transformation of the retail revolution
The retail arena is undergoing great transformations, also due to constantly connected consumers with 24hrs access to a global shopping experience, at their smartphone length. What does this mean for traditional retailers? How are new players eroding incumbents’ share of the market? How do you re-invent your business and your experience when you don’t know who your competitors are anymore? The workshop will investigate these questions and discuss about how a service design approach can help retailers to face these challenges and drive digital transformation in the post-commerce era.
