Unlock your growth with transformation aI

The retail fashion industry is being redefined.

Shifting customer expectations, complex value chains, sustainability pressures, and digital acceleration demand more than incremental improvement—they demand intelligent transformation.

Modus Transformation AI

unlocks a smarter, integrated, and adaptive future by combining enterprise-grade transformation strategy with AI-powered scenario planning and real-time operating model control.

Modus Transformation AI – In a Nutshell

Modus Transformation AI helps businesses plan, simulate, and manage change intelligently—turning strategy into action. Unlike traditional AI that runs daily tasks, this AI drives enterprise-wide

transformation by:

  • Simulating “what-if” scenarios before decisions are made
    Mapping impact across people, systems, and processes
    Aligning strategy, value chain, and operating model
    Automating change delivery and tracking adoption
    Embedding transformation into everyday business (TAU)

It’s your intelligent co-pilot for enterprise change—designed to make transformation faster, smarter, and continuous.

Operational AI vs. Transformation AI

Retail Fashion Example

Let’s say a global fashion brand is considering closing physical stores and expanding its digital channels:

With Operational AI:

  • Forecasts online sales
  • Predicts inventory levels
  • Suggests personalized product recommendations
✅ Useful for optimizing current operations

With Transformation AI (Modus):

  • Simulates what-if impact of closing stores across the org (roles, processes, supply chain, systems)
  • Builds and compares new Target Operating Models
  • Maps org design changes, skill gaps, and financial trade-offs
  • Links strategic decisions to value chain, project portfolios, and change plans
✅ Crucial for strategically redesigning the business

Summary

Operational AI helps you run your business better.
Transformation AI helps you change your business better.

Modus gives Retail Fashion leaders the AI edge to reshape their future—not just react to it.

Office Group

Strategy Management

Modus helps fashion retailers translate bold ambitions into executable strategies. Our Strategy Hub connects business goals with category, market, merchandising, and sourcing plans—anchoring transformation to commercial outcomes.

What it does

  • Align strategic direction with market realities
  • Link 3-year strategic plans to execution layers
  • Integrate pricing, licensing, and calendar planning into one model

Retail Fashion Value Chain Modeling

Our retail-specific value chain overlays pinpoint inefficiencies and illuminate growth opportunities across the product journey—from concept to consumer. Each activity is mapped, measured, and ready for digital enablement.

What it does

  • Visualize and diagnose processes across buying, merchandising, supply chain, and stores
  • Identify value gaps and capability shortfalls
  • Apply transformation overlays (strategy, system, data, people) across the value chain

Operating Model Design & Target Operating Model (TOM)

Modus constructs and governs your Target Operating Model (TOM) with precision. The platform maps all "as-is" and "to-be" process, data, system, and role elements at multiple levels of detail.

What it does

  • Model operational cause and effect from strategy
  • Align KPIs, rules, and skills at every process level
  • Enable TOM vs. Current State comparison and real-time updates

Portfolio Management & Change Execution

Transformation without coordination is chaos. Modus structures change initiatives into a unified Transformation Portfolio, aligning teams, budgets, and roadmaps under a single digital PMO framework.

What it does

  • Automate portfolio setup, stage gates, and reporting
  • Integrate all workstreams (e.g., digital, supply chain, store ops)
  • Enable agile, waterfall, or hybrid methodologies with embedded templates

Change Management & Organizational Design

Change is only real when people live it. Our Organizational Change Management (OCM) Hub and Org Design Tools ensure that your workforce is ready, skilled, and engaged at every step of the journey.

  • Digitize your change approach or use Modus best-practice tools
  • Manage training, comms, adoption, and team readiness
  • Design future roles, structures, and capability maps

AI-Powered Scenario Simulation

Modus AI allows you to test before you invest. Run multiple what-if scenarios across strategy, operating model, and portfolio delivery. Optimize for cost, performance, risk, and benefit.

  • Simulate strategic pivots, org changes, or new TOMs
  • Model financial and resource impacts across change options
  • Adjust live projects dynamically with AI-generated recommendations
