Strategy
Strategic Pivot for a Sustainable Fashion Retailer
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your task is to develop a strategic pivot plan for EcoWear to transition to a circular fashion model. You have 3 weeks. Constraints: no new external funding; must leverage existing stores and inventory. Success looks like a roadmap that achieves 20% of revenue from circular services within 2 years. Deliverables include a market analysis, a capability assessment, a business model canvas for the new model, a phased implementation plan, and a risk analysis.
