Jane Mustoe, Senior Technology Director at Tesco, joins Natalie to discuss how Tesco is using tech to redefine both customer and colleague experiences. They explore:

  • Tesco's recent innovations – GetGo and frictionless shopping, gen AI chatbots, digital twins, mobile apps for store associates, and more.
  • All about the margins – the importance of achieving marginal gains in a low-margin industry.
  • Always keeping an eye on future innovations and finding pockets of “reality” amongst the “hype”.
  • Why over half of innovations fail, why that's important, and lessons from Tesco’s drone trial.
  • Why getting the culture right is ‘make or break’ for organisations and the need to balance agility with operational efficiencies.
  • DEI and advice for the next generation of female tech leaders.
