Customer and Employee Adoption: Getting Buy-In
You and your team have spent countless hours developing an amazing in-store digital experience. That’s all well and good, but if your customers don’t use it or don’t notice it or if your employees don’t embrace it, all that work is for naught. As important as it is to have a great technology strategy, you also need a strategy to ensure adoption. We’ll hear from a panel of experts who have been there and done that and have the battle scars to prove it.
