The beginning of a new year is a great time to make and commit to new resolutions. For retailers in their digital transformation journeys, it’s the perfect opportunity for CIOs to reinvigorate their organizations.

The report states "over the next decade Gartner expects new technologies, capabilities and business models to emerge. It’s imperative that retailers are in the best position to recognize their power early, can incorporate them into their offerings and use them to outperform their competition."

In the report, Gartner explores:

• The right mix of traditional and digital capabilities to compete most effectively
