This caught me eye – not only because I am a fan of Peter Van Stolk and his rethinking of models. He joins innovators such as Jeff Booth (Build Direct) and Nadia Shouraboura (Hointer) who are thinking of retail as a platform. And it continues to show the innovative focus of Walmart and its commitment to waste reduction. Themes inherent in this story include: retail-as-an-ecosystem, redefining scale, creative new partnerships, sustainability as an innovation play, logistics disruption, platform thinking, and the need for storytelling.
