LOOPHOLES 3.0: A TOOLKIT FOR TEXTILE & FASHION COMPANIES

CHALLENGE 

The Loopholes game was developed as part of the EU project Transitions and has undergone multiple iterations. The group is tasked with the transformation of the game into a toolkit that enables companies to familiarize themselves with modern strategies across four different domains; Digitalization, Business & Finance, Sustainability and Stakeholder engagement. Moreover, the toolkit provides guidance for companies to comply with upcoming EU legislation.

In addition to the existing board and strategy cards, the team created three Canvases to add new perspectives on top of the Business Canvas (already in the toolkit). The team delivered Material, Stakeholder and Data Canvases to help textile & fashion companies structure the debate around the steps that are required to progress across the different domains, establishing a link between the strategy cards and the different journeys.

DESCRIPTION

The Loopholes is a board game simulation designed to inform participants, among many things, about sustainability and ethical challenges within the fashion industry. It has the potential to catalyze transformation through innovation and motivation. Players must strategize and address issues such as the different environmental impacts of production, supply chain complexity, and consumer demand for fast fashion while aiming to maintain economic viability and market competitiveness.

Ultimately, the toolkit helps participants with the following tasks:

• Evaluate their current state with regard to Digitalization, Stakeholder Engagement, Sustainability, and Business & Finance;
• Explore new strategies to modernize the company’s processes;
• Understand different viewpoints and interdependencies while sketching a roadmap for their organization.
