Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference: What you don’t want to miss
AUTHOR
April showers are here, and we can’t wait for the May flowers. Although we like flowers, we’re also looking forward to another event happening in May: Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference.
The conference, which takes place in Phoenix, AZ, on May 23–25, is the world’s most important gathering of supply chain leaders. According to Gartner Supply Chain Conference Chair Mike Griswold, disruption “has become the new normal for folks who work in the supply chain.”* He went on to describe the top three challenges faced by supply chain leaders:
- Business strategy: Aligning the supply chain strategy with the business strategy
- Customer service: Supply chains are shifting away from their traditional focus on “moving stuff” to orchestrating customer outcomes
- Process: It’s things like sales and operations planning, performance management, cost-to-serve, supply chain segmentation. Those are the big processes that folks need to focus on to improve the maturity of their supply chain
To address those challenges, this year’s theme, ACT: Aspire, Challenge, and Transform in a Disruptive World, aims to help supply chain specialists recognize the impacts of market disruptions and create transformational strategies that empower the organization to exceed performance expectations.
With five comprehensive tracks and over 55 sessions covering the full spectrum of supply chain, attendees will learn what their teams need to anticipate, adapt, and transform in their supply chains. Supply chain analysts and visionary guest speakers will share inspirational new thinking and valuable lessons learned in their careers. The event will also include workshops, round table discussions, and case studies, as well as a pre-event Industry Value Chain Exchange Series and interactive networking opportunities with your peers.
