“Project
journey”
For the past several years, Globeateliê (Gâ) has enjoyed an amazing
collaborative relationship with Levi Strauss & Co (LS&Co.), acting as the
company’s Store Design & Construction Strategic Consultant and working closely
with their Global Development group.
We have collaborated with the Brand in the creation of an Store Design Executive
Playbook, the first publication of which was in Spring 2023.

“Ga approach”
Gâ plays a crucial role in supporting LS&Co.
during their strategic store design decision-making process by taking into account
global retail trends such as Digital Transformation, Sustainability, and Resilience.
Gâ's consultancy is founded on extensive experience in the retail sector, spanning
both corporate and consultant perspectives.
Global delivery efficiency
Gâ leads the Project Delivery Efficiency program of LS&Co. This is a global
initiative in which Globeateliê and various internal partners collaborate with
regional teams to observe, document, and recommend improvements to optimize the
project delivery process.
As part of this work tream, Globeateliê performs interviews and has fact-finding
discussions with leaders in different global regions, tracks local processes and
identifies pain points, and works with LS&Co Global to provide action-focused
recommendations.
The purpose of the program is to create a durable retail rollout process that
delivers on Transformation strategies, honing store build cost and timing by
reducing complexity.
Sustainability
Gâ supports the Sustainability team of LS&Co. in the identification of holistic
sustainability strategies for reducing the environmental impact of the store-fit
outs (both Franchisee and Own & Operated) and the building assets of the
company, based on the existing Sustainability Playbook of LS&Co. Gâ supports the
Sustainability team in the creation of processes and documents that define concrete
actions towards sustainable development. Gâ creates an implementation plan where the
most urgent actions are defined in terms of impact, effort and cost.

“Conclusion”
As a global strategic consultant to LS&Co, Gâ offers a range of services aimed at
optimizing and improving global processes for both the Own and Operated fleet and the
franchisee network. Our's successful support of the brand has led to the expansion of
its service portfolio each year. It began with Global Delivery Efficiency, Store Design
Executive Playbook, then progressed to International Revit Masters update and global
implementation, and now includes Sustainability and Resilience consulting.
Moreover, our team has earned the trust of the Global Store Design Team, serving as a
reliable advisor. By connecting the dots between various processes, Gâ efficiently
