Implementing transparency as a principle within your company helps you to differentiate yourself against competition, build a distinct positive reputation for your company, and also to avoid nasty surprises when sourcing materials and production. In addition it is a simple, but effective approach to engage with your customers over more than just price and lead times.
In this workshop, Ilaria Pasquinelli and Dr. Pamela Ravasio, co-founders of texSture and both seasoned experts in this domain, will help you discover areas within your business where, even as a startup and small business, you can differentiate yourself, and develop at the same time a cool, different engaging brand story, much beyond the product.
