At the conference, attendees will gain insights from:
Six Supply Chain Leaders’ Vision. Six 30-minute presentations by senior supply chain leaders.
Panel Discussions with Experts. Five hard-hitting panel discussions that combine the recent research on supply chain talent, corporate social responsibility, technology and analytics, and risk management into a spirited dialogue.
New Research on Supply Chain Excellence. Launch of a new method of rewarding companies for supply chain excellence based on performance on the Supply Chain Effective Frontier. This will be a combination of work on the Supply Chain Index, patterns of supply chain performance, and input from supply chain leaders from the Shaman’s Circle.
Exposure to New Business Models. Based on the concept of “Imagine,” attendees at the conference will be challenged to think differently about the future of supply chain. The conference will feature a learning lab to help attendees visualize the future of supply chain. It will be an open sharing of concepts by experts in a lab-type setting on the first day of the conference. (This will not be a trade show.)
Orchestrated Interaction. The program is designed to facilitate and elevate the executive level of conversation:
- Visual Facilitation. The content during the two days will be recorded by a graphic facilitator. The outcome will be published as a takeaway for all attendees.
- Audience Polling and Participation. Participants of the sessions will be given a mobile application to facilitate audience response to program questions. This will enable real-time feedback on program topics to drive audience and presenter interactions.
- Networking Luncheons. Lunch tables will be orchestrated around table topics to facilitate peer-to-peer networking.
- Concierge Networking Service. All line-of-business leaders will be able to participate in an event concierge service to enable a one-on-one session with supply chain leaders of their selection. A month before the event, business leaders will select a one-on-one meeting that they would like help in setting up. The event staff will coordinate several small rooms to enable a more formal and scheduled one-on-one networking experience around mutually agreed topics.
- Speaker Q&A. At the end of each session, a formal Q&A program will be included to ensure that the audience can engage in an effective dialogue on the insights from the speaker. Each speaker will be asked to comment on their corporate performance and lessons learned on making supply chain trade-offs (sharing of corporate performance based on the plotting of financial ratios by the Supply Chain Insights team) at the end of their sessions.
