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.

Two paper delivered @ the CSCMP 2006 Annual Conference, San Antonio

1. "How to design and manage collaborative supply chains"
   There is too much spoken about collaboration and too little understood. This address is based on a wider study of the 4 basic types of supply chain, and takes the view that "you only collaborate with those companies which genuinely want to collaborate". In this way over - and under - servicing can be eliminated.


2. "Living Supply Chains: how to mobilize the enterprise around delivering what your customers want" *
   People drive supply chains, not technology or infrastructure, or anything else. However, most managers are in denial about this because they can't work out how to integrate and align customer requirements on the outside, with internal capabilities of the enterprise. This presentation will show you how to do this, and introduce you to the concept of dynami alignment, a new model for aligning strategies, internal human resources, processes, technology, and leadership style, with customers' buying behaviours.

Global Supply Chain & Logistics Conference - Dubai
Behavioral aspects in the Design and Management of Contemporary Supply Chains

This presentation argues 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. In fact, supply chains are not mechanical beasts that work like giant conveyor belts. Rather the speaker will argue that supply chains are propelled predominantly by human behaviour, both outside (customers) and inside (staff and management) the enterprise.

Understand and harness this energy and whole new avenues of performance improvement will be revealed. To bring this vision to reality, the speaker will present a new conceptual model, the dynamic alignment model, which will guide designers and managers of contemporary supply chains to critical areas of 'mis alignment' so that these can be addressed in a more focused way.

Gone are the days of blind cost-cutting. The new era of hi-performance supply chains will be ushered in through a combination of initiatives that improve the 'alignment' between the marketplace, and the enterprise, via smarter allocation of resources. This will all be initiated and driven by inspired leadership.

This presentation is based on a by the presenter: Living Supply Chains: How to mobilize the enterprise around delivering what customers want, published by FT Pearson Education, London, 2006.

Transforming from a "Supply Push" to a "Demand Pull" organizational focus to impact on service levels
This paper was delivered by Prof. John Gattorna at the INTERLOG 2004 Conference, Sydney, 28 October, 2004.

Over the last decade there has been a discernible transition from 'supply push' to 'demand pull' in many industries, especially those requiring agile service responses. There have been many factors driving this change, but more demanding and powerful customers have been the predominant reason.

This, coupled with the capacity to respond quickly and cost-effectively. But such a change means going beyond simply improving operational processes - it requires a complete cultural change and shift in mindset in supplier organizations. Ultimately, it comes down to how organizations can structure themselves to manage the required mix of "push" and "pull". This paper presents specific ideas on how this can be achieved.
