@elonmusk Trade in process is very clunky with low prices offered which is off putting when you want to trade into a Tesla first time and when you’re a happy owner like me if you want to trade up or renew. No incentives or support for the process. Totally opposite to traditional dealers

@LuqNiazi Great photo, happy anniversary!

@RobertKennedyJr Interesting view, what you think ? @davidmcw

Congratulations @RebeccaOBtcd ! You’ve worked so hard on your research, writing and amplifying the work of the @IrishCancerSoc … I’m incredibly proud of you.

[Rebecca O'Brien PhD @RebeccaOBtcd]

Finally submitted my PhD thesis today! Particularly serendipitous that today is #DaffodilDay, such an important day for the wonderful @IrishCancerSoc who have supported my research. Special thanks to my fantastic supervisors @Niamh_LL and @JoanneLysaght for everything!

@rwlord Absolutely right @rwlord … #hybridcloud is essential to enable retailers take advantage of an #openecosystem to differentiate #customerexperience and #operations

[Colm O'Brien @colm_obrien]

Great company, keen to see how this evolves, especially how the new business scales out #experientialgrocery. It will further illustrate what’s possible to truly reimagine #retail Wishing @eatalyusa @follow_invest every success ! https://t.co/3ycCxfBS1O

[Colm O'Brien @colm_obrien]

@zdwigder @NielsenIQ Agree, it’s a familiar pattern with price inflation, certain categories consumers will pull back on to protect the core basket, and some areas to have a small indulgence as they cut back on other spending. #Groceryshop2022 #grocery #retail #inflation #consumers

[Colm O'Brien @colm_obrien]

Nice summary by @KatieSchoolov @CNBC on changes @WholeFoods since @amazon purchase. Whilst perhaps not yet perfected, mix of hyperlocal range, operating model & tech innovation is a good recipe for future success #grocery #retail https://t.co/CR9grZEKCE

Lot's of churn in the #forecourt #retail segment, fast forward to 2030 and it'll be interesting to see the role of these sites with changing consumer, convenience, commerce and car choices, - thoughts welcome https://t.co/WJrLcbHZHO

Great example of rethinking the #store to be #hyperlocal, with unformatted evolving designs and 'one size does not fit all' approach, well done Cindy Andersen and the #Ingka #IKEA teams #retail https://t.co/1WxNN38nCi

[Colm O'Brien @colm_obrien]

With prime grocery sites occupied and economic concerns, the pause by @Amazon new stores is sensible. Watch for an acquisition when plans recommence. #grocery #retail https://t.co/2FBYsMdubF

Going beyond the checkout, the changing nature of retail means a rethink on the role of the store, IBM Institute for Value provides great insights, worth a read https://t.co/aSNuzpeeVl #retail #store @IBMIBV

[Colm O'Brien @colm_obrien]
