      AI will not create growth in isolation. It will first transform productivity, efficiency, and human capability and when those three align, revenue growth becomes inevitable and sustainable.

      Retail risk has moved from demand uncertainty to execution precision. In an environment of constrained capital and rapid change, organisations which view inventory and capital as risk instruments, rather than accounting metrics, are best positioned to scale profitably.
