"Communication"
with Dan

Please join us for a presentation and
interactive discussion on the subject of
Communication. We know the value of

skills and we may even admire those who
are adept at communicating with larger
groups. Everyone can improve their
communication skills and the art of
communicating in meetings, during
impromptu hallway conversations and
professional dinner events will be
addressed. Prepare to succeed in
everyday communications and learn some
valuable techniques that will help you
be more effective in your daily
interactions.
6:30 pm Dinner Meeting
"Additional Cost Savings Through Supplier
Performance Management"
with Robert
Dunn
A speaker at a
recent global supply chain conference said
something quite insightful...
"Procurement is about managing a large part
of our business, which we do not own, using
people we do not employ".
This observation summarizes an important
truth about Supplier Relationship Management
(SRM) which some senior executives still
fail to grasp. That is, that the overall
performance of today's companies (and
governmental agencies) is
critically-intertwined with the performance
of their supply base.
