Carl Boutet

Chief Strategist at Studio Rx Inc

Montreal, Canada

As the founder and chief strategist of Studio Rx, I deliver prescriptive retail experience strategies that combine art and science: Design, data.+ technology with purpose.

I have over 25 years of experience in advising senior retail leaders and brands on how to build better business strategies that leverage their combined choices of technology, analytics, and design.

I also work with companies that wish to best tailor their solutions to address the needs that matter most to retailers.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and insights on retail innovation, marketing, and global trends as an educator, speaker, and author. I teach master's and undergraduate level courses on innovative retail technologies and business models at McGill University and digital marketing & business analytics at the Asian Institute of Technology in Vietnam+Thailand.

I am also a frequent contributor to media outlets, and the author of The Great Acceleration: The Race to Retail Resilience.

My work has been recognized by Rethink Retail and numerous global events as one of the most influential and impactful retail thinkers in the world.

The Great Acceleration: The Race to Retail resilience
StudioRx
April 29, 2024
Following The Great Depression and The Great Recession, The Great Acceleration exposed many business model frailties that we knew needed addressing, yet didn’t expect to occur so rapidly. A rapidly blurring of physical and digital commerce was expected to only occur a decade later. Hence a race to resilience began. Looking to rapidly placate those shortcomings with the proper human and technological resources.

This multimedia “book” project was actually several years in the making. What began as an exploration of what made retailers more relevant to consumers evolved into an exploration around broader notions of ensuring its ongoing business, social and environmental sustainability. Then as lockdowns spread, the word acceleration was on everyone’s lips.

This book will explore the nature of that acceleration, track data points in key global markets, offer highlights of ten interviews with key business and thought leaders, frameworks for the importance of building a Sustainability Flywheel and differentiation via a Retail Relevance Index. Most importantly, how these all tie together to create the resilient organizations we now know must be built in order to better weather imminent forthcoming storms.
