Future-ready textiles: Identifying key drivers of systemic change
October 24 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Climate regulation, circular business models, labour shifts, and rapid technological disruption are reshaping the textile industry. To thrive, organisations need more than compliance: they need foresight, practical tools, and cross-sector collaboration.
Take compostable packaging: a promising innovation, but its impact is limited without proper disposal systems or local infrastructure. Imagine if it had been co-created with municipalities, behaviour experts, suppliers, and brands — designed for real system change and grounded in economic and social viability. That’s the kind of thinking this programme fosters.
This structured, three-part online journey will guide you from understanding system-wide industry drivers, to exploring future business scenarios, to designing actionable innovation portfolios. By completing all three modules, you will develop a project idea grounded in tangible scenarios, insights from leading industry players, and proven case studies, future-proofing your organisation while creating lasting value for your stakeholders.
Module 1: Identifying key drivers of systemic change
Learn how different actors across the value chain experience key textile challenges, uncover the systemic drivers of change (regulatory, financial, technological, social) via key systemic change tools, and begin shaping compelling, collaborative project ideas that address these priorities.
Outcome: You will learn how to make a strong case for the change you want to drive by building a compelling story rooted in key system-change drivers and emerging trends. Develop the ability to clearly explain these drivers across the value chain in outcome-focused language that secures internal buy-in.
