  • Supply Chain Evolution: Speed Is the New Cost
    Mar 18 2014
    The buzz: Supply chain. Companies doing business globally require full supply chain transparency and optimized performance management to become and remain competitive and profitable. Can the latest technology innovations help them attain the speed needed to keep up with today’s pace of business, integrate a disconnected supply chain, coordinate siloed functions, and improve other key factors to help grow the bottom line? The experts speak. Simon Ellis, IDC: “In the ‘modern’ supply chain, integration is now more important than functionality.” Richard Howells, SAP: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change” (Charles Darwin paraphrased by Leon C. Megginson). Join us for Supply Chain Evolution: Speed Is the New Cost.

  • Speed of Manufacturing: Zooming from Idea to Performance
    Mar 11 2014
    The buzz: Manufacturing. Manufacturing processes are rapidly accelerating, as shop-floor-management-by-clipboard yields to mobile-powered efficiencies and real-time analytics. But manufacturers still face tough challenges: overwhelming amounts of Big Data; poor production quality; embarrassing cost overruns; new global competitors; consumer demands for customization; the aging workforce; social media cries for environmental responsibility; and agility-deterring siloed internal functions. So much to fix, so little time. The experts speak. Adel Kahn, Fujitsu: “In God we trust; all others must bring data” (Edward Deming). Matthew Littlefield, LNS Research: “Perfection is impossible. However, striving for perfection is not. Do the best you can under the conditions that exist. That is what counts” (John Wooden). Frank Platt, SAP: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” (Arthur C Clarke). Join us for Speed of Manufacturing: Zooming from Idea to Performance.

  • Innovation vs. Operations: Can You Have It All?
    Mar 4 2014
    The buzz: Innovation vs. operations. Innovation tops the agenda for many CEOs, while CIOs are focused on ensuring sound operations. With both agendas critical to your company’s survival and growth, is it possible to foster an innovation culture without compromising operational integrity? The experts speak. Dave Jordan, TCS: “The man who doesn’t know where he wants to go, shouldn’t be surprised when he ends up somewhere else” (Mark Twain). Marc Cecere, Forrester Research: “Nearly all CIOs want innovation, but most innovations occur as a byproduct of a project rather than as an end in themselves.” Svend Wittern, SAP: “Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.” (Edgar Degas) Join us for Innovation vs. Operations: Can You Have It All?
