Tom Furphy and KC report in from the National Grocers Association (NGA) convention in Las Vegas, where they, along with Michael Sansolo, facilitated a series of educational sessions keyed to the subject of collaboration – what makes it work, how to benchmark a successful collaboration, and how to coordinate goals and aspirations. And, Tom & KC end with a discussion of the current state of e-grocery, as most retailers have chosen partners and now consider the implications of what is called “rip and replace” – choosing to replace one provider with another.

Note: The continuing goal of “The Innovation Conversation” is to explore various facets of the fast-changing, technology-driven retail landscape and how they affect businesses and consumers. It is territory that Tom Furphy – a former Amazon executive who led the team that developed Amazon Fresh, and currently CEO and Managing Director of Consumer Equity Partners (CEP), a venture capital and venture development firm in Seattle, WA, that works with many top retailers, manufacturers, and technology companies – is uniquely positioned to address.
