Digital-First Retail in the Omnichannel Age
Retail isn’t changing — it’s already changed. In this episode of Innovate ON Purpose, host Matt Mueller sits down with Scott Benedict, founder of Benedict Enterprises and former Director at Walmart, to explore how retailers can finally align the digital and physical worlds. Scott shares how store managers getting credit for online sales transformed Walmart’s culture overnight, why siloed teams still block omnichannel growth, and how today’s “digital-first consumer” navigates a non-linear path to purchase. Together they unpack what it means to measure what truly matters — from unified inventory to integrated marketing — and why alignment, not acceleration, will define retail success in 2026.
