Executive Leadership Forums

Global Destination for Supply Chain Leaders

The Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI) of the Center for Global Enterprise is pleased to announce eighth Executive Leadership Forum on October 29th and 30th at the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, Texas. We are proud to be collaborating with Southern Methodist University and ChainIQ on this event. This by-invitation-only event will bring together no more than 100 supply chain leaders from around the world. The goal of the meeting is to share the research conducted by the DSCI and its member companies and to engage the participants in a deep discussion of transformative actions necessary to create a Digital Supply Chain. The theme for the digital transformation is the “Frontside Flip,” which captures the spirit of customer focus and demand management that will increase revenue by 10% and reduce costs by 20%.

The focus of the Executive Leadership forum will be on generating useful information and a network of fellow leaders that can help your company make the transition to a Digital Supply Chain. Renowned business leaders will speak during the Forum. The session is designed to maximize collaboration and identify practical steps on how to advance digital supply chains in the enterprise.

Who Should Attend?

Supply chain leaders, C-level executives, directors, and executive managers from enterprise cross-functional departments.
The forum is specially designed so that multi-functional teams of senior management (e.g., supply chain, shipping and logistics, sales, marketing, IT, Finance, and HR) can analyze the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation.
Leading-edge transformation requires a cross-company commitment and effort.
