Dear Conference Delegate,
Welcome to the most important ‘Thought Leadership’ event of the year in London in March 2010- Extended Supply Chain 2010.
I am delighted to be delivering the Keynote address at this pivotal event because I passionately believe that at this crucial time of global financial stress and related recessionary pressures, we need fundamentally new thinking. Indeed, we need a new business model for designing and operating enterprise supply chains under radically changed market, environmental, and social conditions. I will start the thought process during my address by explaining the model that I have had under development for the last two decades. And share the results with you- which have been very encouraging.
There is also a very impressive array of leading supply chain thinkers on the programme, giving their individual perspectives on the first day, and then on the second day the focus will shift to how these collective ideas can be ‘operationalised on the ground’. So there is a great agenda awaiting you, and I strongly recommend that you take full advantage of this opportunity by bringing a small cross-functional team to the event. The days of considering the enterprise ‘supply chain’ as a specialist function are over- the future is all about treating supply chain thinking as a philosophy that pervades the entire enterprise. More about this critical shift in mindset when we meet in London.
