HOW IT WORKS
Our Program Methodology
As a hybrid between a traditional accelerator and a standard online learning platform, Futureproof Fashion has a methodology consisting of 3 Phases: ORIENTATION, TRANSFORMATION, and APPLICATION. ORIENTATION is for companies that need help in orientating their businesses in the right direction. TRANSFORMATION consists of courses to transform systems and processes in a company to lead towards effective future results. APPLICATION consists of practical tools and solutions to apply to your business after establishing a successful process or system. The courses in each respective phase relate to other courses in other phase, so that knowledge stacks and you can build on learnings from previous courses. However, as an open digital accelerator, you can take what you want, when you want, depending on your current needs.
