The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can EcoWear reconfigure its global value chain to reduce costs by 15% and achieve full supply chain transparency within three years?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

- Analyze global value chains using the value chain framework
- Evaluate trade-offs between cost efficiency and sustainability
