Supply Chain Implications of an Integrated Retail Model

Many retailers are focused on improving their customer experience, but those that will be successful at it will do so by integrating their multiple channels – on-line and in-store. Customers should be able to shop anytime and anywhere, at the Store or Home, On-line or by Phone. They want to receive their purchase or return merchandise wherever convenient. This talk will focus on the Supply Chain implications required to enable this multi-channel strategy, one that is at the heart of Sears Holdings’ transformation.

Cloud Supply Chain and Operational Excellence in Retail

Facebook redefined communication and information sharing by putting a billion people on the same information page, in the cloud. When your status changes, everyone in you network gets the news instantly. Imagine the power of that same information model when applied to supply chain. The status of an order, or shipment changes and every stakeholder in the supply chain gets the same news instantly. This is cloud supply chain.

In this educational session, Greg Johnsen CMO and co-founder of GT Nexus will describe cloud supply chain and what it means for global retailers. Attendees will learn:

What is cloud supply chain, how is it different than traditional software
Network and the community requirements for success
How leading retailers are using cloud supply chain to become agile operators
How cloud interfaces with, and extends, existing ERP, TMS and WMS systems

Closing Luncheon Keynote Session

Leadership and Accountability When It Matters

The privilege and burden of leadership comes with a level of accountability that many aspire to emulate and anyone can rise up to and achieve. Using a devastating suicide terrorist attack as a backdrop, Commander Lippold conveys how the bedrock principle of integrity created an environment for leadership where his crew felt imbued with a sense of ownership as they seized the opportunity to be responsible for their ship and not just their jobs. Their own sense of personal accountability and leadership proved to be a guiding principle in the crucible of combat.
