“Every job we’ve got is going to change in some way—whether it’s getting the shopping carts off the parking lot, the way our technologists work, or certainly how leadership roles evolve.” At HBR’s Future of Business 2025 event on November 3, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon discussed how AI will transform work and the e-commerce industry. McMillon has since announced he will be retiring in early 2026. The full interview is available now on the HBR IdeaCast: https://s.hbr.org/4oT47xb
