Positioning supply chain management to achieve results and implementing creative and meaningful measures are a must for success. A strong leader identifies and anticipates change. Your focus is always on the horizon to determine how your organization will move forward. A leader has the appetite and aptitude for the unexpected and the unique. Do you have what you need to ensure tomorrow's effectiveness in supplier relationships, talent management, succession planning, the environment, and the use of social media in supply management?

Beyond the Personal: Operational Challenges and the Social Media Mindset Social media principles and technologies are changing the way we do business. First embraced by marketing, it's now infiltrating all areas of the corporation to different degrees and acceptances. Cutting through the hype to understand what social media is and what it can do is critical to leveraging its power. Because of their intra- and inter-company reach, supply organizations are in an invaluable position to introduce and support strategic initiatives that can dramatically improve collaboration, responsiveness, and profits. This session will highlight trends and examples of social media uses and benefits in real world companies — beyond the consumer engagement and personal expression angles — and provide a springboard for discussion about the operational possibilities and challenges for participant organizations that adopt a social media mindset. |

Predict, Plan and Propel: Evolving the Global Supply Strategy Rising labor costs, shifting demographics and social responsibility are just a few of the many factors influencing how we manage a global supply chain. Despite these influences what is most important however is to retain a clear connection between customer value and the global supply chain strategy. We must consider not only "how" to manage, but "what" investments in resources and talent we should pursue, and "when" is the most opportune time to do so. During this session we will touch on the various influences impacting the management of a global supply chain, emerging trends that are influencing supply chain strategy development and execution, and new opportunities which may influence how supply chain strategy is developed in the future. |
