Highlights:
15:16 “You basically designed everywhere I shop. All the apps that I use, you have been sat there making them brilliant for me, so I can spend more money.” – Katie Street
20:06 “The importance of getting real data and being able to really try something out, to understand how it’s going to work and how it’s going to be consumed. I think, actually, in the long run saves you a lot of money, because then you’re not building the wrong things.” – Fabrice Khullar
25:50 “People always assume that you’re going to build something or you’re going to introduce a new proposition, and then customers are never going to go back. Right? That’s going to be the way from that point onwards.” – Fabrice Khullar
37:50 “I know that especially at the more luxury end of retail, there’s always been a worry about diluting the experience if you’re talking to a robot. But there might be use cases where that makes sense. Because actually, you’re just asking a simple question, or you just want to change your password, things that you could just allow a machine to do, which will make you much more efficient. And then maybe you can actually focus on delivering the parts of the experience that are more complex with your humans. Right. So I think we’ll start to see that play out over the next several years.” – Fabrice Khullar
40:35 “We are still at the beginning. And we need to get our heads around this. And really go and read research, understand what it means for us as people as businesses, because the opportunity is huge. But also, the opportunity is quite scary.” – Katie Street
