There are very good reasons why the 17 Retail TouchPoints Innovator Award winners were selected: They define “innovation” in very specific ways to help move their businesses forward. In this exclusive video, award winners share their insights on what innovation means to them and why it is important for future success.
Here are a few highlights:
Innovation is…
“Not being afraid to take risks. Not being afraid to rethink a business, rethink an industry, rethink a user experience.”
