Changing Times, Emerging Trends: Ashley Fell at Retail Conference

The annual Retail Conference is just around the corner, taking place on Thursday 14 November 2024. Ashley Fell, Director of Advisory at McCrindle gives a sneak peek into her keynote session on the retail property industry now and towards 2034.

Only occasionally in history do massive demographic changes combine with huge social shifts, ongoing generational transitions, unprecedented technological innovation, and a global pandemic so that within the span of a decade society altogether alters. We are currently amid one such transformation. While such change impacts everyone and every organisation, those who will thrive amidst such evolutions are those who understand the times, influence the trends, and shape the future.

In this session, social researcher and futurist Ashley Fell will navigate retail property professionals through the megatrends transforming New Zealand and deliver a snapshot of the industry’s landscape. She will cover the key implications of these changes on retail products and emerging needs, emerging and declining sales channels, attracting and retaining top talent, developing a culture of innovation and consumer engagement and community connection.

Ashley Fell is a social researcher, TEDx speaker and the Director of Advisory at McCrindle. She is the author of two books on leadership and generational insights, titled Work Wellbeing and Generation Alpha. She is also the host of McCrindle’s podcast, The Future Report.
