  • The process started with a joint definition of the topic and the development of a shared understanding of the problem. To facilitate this, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences organised a kick-off workshop, engaging participants from the apparel and carpet flooring supply chain and related sectors. A coherent, contradiction-free future vision of the influencing factors was necessary. For this reason, the ECHT project applied Geschka's "scenario technique" as its methodological foundation. The goal of this scenario development process was to establish a common understanding of key challenges and to develop solution strategies and concrete action steps, resulting in the definition of the project scope.
