To equip Walmart’s senior international leaders with a stronger fluency in the disruptive technologies shaping the retail landscape. Walmart wanted its executives to feel confident leading a more digitally minded organisation and to understand how emerging technologies could drive innovation across global markets.

The Approach

The Approach

Drawing on Decoded’s experience designing digital leadership initiatives for C-suite executives, we created a tailored four-hour immersive session for Walmart International leaders. The programme combined practical exploration with strategic discussion, helping participants connect disruptive technology to Walmart’s future business strategy.
