Managing disruption in the fashion and textile industry

Hosted by academic teams from both our Business School and the Manchester Institute of Fashion, you'll explore practical tools for analysis, assess external resources to help manage disruption, and develop an actionable plan to strengthen the resilience of your business.

It's an interactive workshop, so expect plenty of discussions to take part in!

What to expect:

To make sure that everyone can take part in the discussions and learn to use the practical tools we share, we typically host 20 people at our workshops.
