What if the biggest AI opportunity for retailers is knowing where not to automate? Chris Parsons, VP of Partner Growth and Marketing at Hale, spent 25 years inside retail at Walmart Canada, Ren's Pets, and Home Hardware before moving to the agency side.

He tells Bryan Mahoney why he built an AI Moment of Discovery framework, why he still pushes back on the online-to-store cannibalization myth, and why self-checkout may be retail's biggest missed connection with customers.

 

Topics discussed:

●   Building an AI Moment of Discovery framework for retail

●   Debunking the online-to-store cannibalization myth

●   Why self-checkout kills in-store customer engagement

●   Starting AI adoption with small, repeatable tasks

●   Finding hidden product correlations like toothpaste and tuna
