Theme: It's not just about cost
Title: "Supply Chain Management is business, and business is people"

Abstract: John Gattorna will make the case that all enterprises are permeated by multiple supply chains/pathways running through them. He also contends that these pathways along which products and services move are powered by people: customersat the demand end; employees, management, and Boardsinside the enterprise; and suppliers at the sourcing end.

All these people influence the way products and services move and therefore the performance of the supply chains they participate in. The trick is to get all parties in synch and aligned. John Gattorna will reveal the framework that he has devised to do just that.

Keynote:
People Powering Contemporary High-performance Supply Chains
Products and services don't simply move through enterprise supply chains by chance. Products and services only flow if customers and consumers on the outside make decisions to buy in certain ways, and management and staff inside enterprises make decisions to either push products through or build capacity to respond rapidly to unpredictable demand.

There is too much spoken about collaboration and too little understood.

Behavioral aspects in the Design and Management of Contemporary Supply Chains
Paper argued that too much emphasis in the past has been placed on technology and infrastructure as the sole source of improved performance in corporate supply chains.

Rather, supply chains are propelled predominantly by human behaviour, both outside (customers) and inside (staff and management) the enterprise.

2 Jun 2005 Living Supply Chains - unlocking value through a radically new approach to the design and operation of corporate supply chains.
SMART2005 Conference, Sydney.

This presentation is based on the contents and thrust of a new book of the same title due to be published in London in late 2005. In essence, John Gattorna argues for a radical re-think of current approaches to designing and managing today's supply chains. In particular, he contends that the biggest influencer of performance, human behaviour inside and outside organizations, is largely being overlooked in the search for ever increasing corporate performance improvement. This situation must be redressed.

11-15 Jul 2005 International Supply Chain Management
This 5-day program is an elective on the Asian Intensive School for Advanced Management (AISAM), and is conducted in Penang. The program is offered by the Australian National Business School, a consortium of six (6) Australian universities. In 2005 this elective will be taught solely by John Gattorna.

The underlying theme is "aligning supply chains with customers and suppliers to create new value". The increasingly important role of 3PLs and 4PLs will be critically reviewed, and new business models proposed for managing future supply chains.

This elective is a "must" for those executives wishing to extract high performance from their supply chains.

4-6 May 2005 Supply Chain Executive Forum 2005
A 3-day intensive Forum for C-level executives presented by the Centre for Supply Chain Research, University of Wollongong, at the Hyatt Regency, Coolum.

This is the 2nd Annual Forum, and is a “By Invitation Only” event designed to bring together top level executive teams from ten (10) enterprises drawn from across Asia Pacific. Ideally, the representative team will be some combination of the MD, CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, CLO, and CMO, or equivalent.

The underlying theme of the Forum is the achievement of improved ‘alignment’ between enterprises and their respective customers, suppliers, and third party providers.
The format is unique in that a series of expert interventions by the international faculty in plenary style sessions are interspersed with mini-workshops where each executive team retires to consider how the ideas presented earlier can be used in their own enterprises and operating environments.

This is not a training session, and tangible outcomes are required of the attending teams. A cross-section of enterprises drawn from industry, commerce, service and government sectors are to be invited. In the inaugural Forum in 2004, the ACCC contributed to the debate on new business models in Australian supply chains, and we intend to repeat this highlight in the 2005 program.
