Gartner keynote
Mike Burkett, Mike Griswold Monday 23 September, 08:30 – 09:15
and Eric O’Daffer
Reimagine Supply Chain — Fast, Forward, Focus
It’s time to reimagine your supply chain and push the boundaries of conventional thinking.
Incremental improvement won’t suffice to capitalize on the next wave of global growth.
New markets present opportunity and emphasize the need to move quickly and to focus
amid rising competition. Future supply chain leaders must engage business partners to
drive new market growth while continuing to improve service levels and profits in existing
markets. Senior analysts present Gartner’s most current research addressing the changes
ahead and the capabilities required for supply chain to be the critical differentiator for
global corporations.

9. Track descriptions
Supply chain reimagination starts here
Three new agenda tracks with new research, speakers and
objective advice to help you transform your supply chain in 2013:
A Strategy and Planning
The maturity of your organization, when it comes to
end-to-end supply chain planning, will pave the way to a
reimagined supply chain. We help organizations
determine where they sit on the updated five-stage
Gartner SOP Maturity Model, and how to move toward
integrated business planning. We also show how
transformational strategies can drive more successful
demand insights, product launches, optimized product
portfolios and reduced inventory.
B Leadership and Innovation
Innovation will be key to the reimagination of your supply
chain. We help you home in on the few breakthrough
innovations that can propel you forward, including supply
chain segmentation and cost to serve, and we provide a
view on the most mature levels of orchestration across
the entire value network. Exciting new content also helps
you innovate in some of the more difficult challenge
areas for supply chains, including product and portfolio
complexity and risk management.
C Supply Chain Management
For some, a reimagined supply chain will irreversibly alter
how we design our global and local supply footprint. We
look at what it takes to understand your maturity level,
transform your supply chain and plan for the supply
chain of the future, drawing from several new global
Gartner studies. We also help you address key
organizational and leadership challenges, including how
best to leverage centers of excellence, and how to tackle
the continuing talent management crisis. We help you
understand and prepare for these changes to mature
your supply management functions.
IT Virtual Track: Supply Chain IT
This collection of conference sessions and programs has
a stronger IT orientation to them, and are well-suited
both for supply chain IT executives as well as supply
chain executives who want a stronger understanding of
the IT underpinning their supply chain initiatives and
processes.
Agenda Builder
Personalize and organize
your conference experience
Time is a critical resource, and managing it well throughout
the event is essential. So it makes sense to schedule and
coordinate all your sessions and activities with Agenda
Builder — your online conference organizer. Use it to create
and customize a curriculum aligned with your needs and
interests, based on these criteria:
• Date and time
• Track
• Analyst and speaker
profiles
• Session descriptions
• Session types
• Key initiatives
• Vertical industries

10. Track A: Strategy and Planning
G1. The Future of Supply Chain, and
the Five Imperatives for Getting There
We delve into the five imperatives for a
supply chain transformation framework:
1) form a foundation; 2) focus on three
imperatives; 3) fix the gap; 4) formalize the
architecture; and 5) fund and follow. And
we provide you details on how to
implement these five best practices.
Matt Davis
G4. Key Findings from the Gartner
Chief Supply Chain Officer Study
We’ll review the key findings from
Gartner’s inaugural, comprehensive study
of chief supply chain officers (CSCOs),
including what leading CSCOs consider to
be their top opportunities and challenges
for the coming year.
Mike Burkett
G7. Assessing Your Supply Chain
Planning Process Maturity
Improving supply chain planning, through
higher process maturity, requires a
methodology to identify and assess
current process maturity and future state.
We’ll describe this maturity model, and
put you on a path to advance along the
maturity curve.
Tim Payne
G10. Deconstructing Integrated
Business Planning
Orchestration, full financial alignment,
demand shaping and network
collaboration are terms used to describe
integrated business planning (IBP). But
how can companies achieve these
defining capabilities? We’ll show how
leading companies have deconstructed
their IBP goals and identified the
technology, organization and process
required to reach them.
Noha Tohamy
G13. Linking New Product Introduction
and SOP for Improved Product
Launches
We’ll look at how successful supply chain
organizations are strengthening the link
between new product introduction and
SOP, resulting in improved trade-off
decisions and more-successful product
launches
Jan Kohler, Michael Uskert
G16. Jumpstart Your Supply Chain
Risk Management Initiatives, Even on
a Budget
Does your management view improving
resiliency and managing the risks across
your supply chain as important, but
doesn’t offer a large budget in support?
We’ll describe how companies can take
advantage of existing people, processes
and technologies to move their supply
chain risk management capabilities up the
maturity curve.
Stan Aronow
Fast. Gartner predicts that by 2016 more than 40% of new logistics
application purchases will be delivered through the cloud.
The World’s Most Important Gathering of Supply Chain Leaders10

11. G2. Moving Your Demand-Driven
Journey Forward – Lessons from
Gartner’s Retail Demand-Driven Study
Gartner’s study of 200 global retailers
reveals how those retailers identify
demand-driven opportunities, overcome
challenges, and prioritize their activities as
they move their demand-driven journey
forward.
Mike Griswold
G5. Driving Change With Supply Chain
Centers of Excellence
Centers of excellence (COEs) can drive
opportunities, innovations and profit, or
they can be just another layer in an
already complex business. The key is
understanding how to focus COEs on the
businesses’ critical issues and
opportunities, and to structure the COE so
it has support and credibility to “move the
needle” in the right direction.
Ken Ruggles
G8. Maximize Profitability: How to
Integrate Cost-to-Serve and Supply
Chain Segmentation
Demand-driven leaders profitably manage
trade-offs that create differentiated value
for customers. Some companies are
segmenting supply chains to enable these
trade-offs and integrating cost-to-serve
analysis to manage profitability. We share
an emerging innovation – “the menu of
supply chain services” – used by several
leading organizations as the connection
for how to set differentiated cost/service
goals and optimize complexity for
maximum profitability.
Stan Aronow, Matthew Davis
G11. Supply Chain Performance
Management
We help you focus on the supply chain
metrics that matter, and use those metrics
to manage trade-offs across the end-to-
end supply chain and deliver a profitable
perfect order.
Debra Hofman
G14. The “Yes, But ...” Value Chain:
Segmenting for Profitable Trade Offs
Gartner’s five-stage Demand-Driven Value
Network Maturity Model reflects the
necessary journey through standardization
to value-added differentiation and
profitability. Segmentation has emerged as
a critical stop along that journey. We show
when to consider supply chain
segmentation, how to assess readiness,
the risks of implementation, and how to
avoid reverting back to Stages 1 and 2.
Matthew Davis
G17. Establishing an Attractive and
Effective Supply Chain Career Path
Architecture
Lack of career path is the single biggest
reason supply chain professionals leave
your company for a competitor, or elect to
do something else entirely. Leading supply
chain organizations are aggressively
addressing this challenge.
Dana Stiffler
Track B: Leadership and Innovation
Forward. Gartner predicts that by 2015 the resource scarcity
debate will shift from commodities to content and competencies,
substantially disrupting Fortune Global 500 supply chains.
Reimagine Supply Chain:
In Korea, Tesco enables consumers to buy groceries via
pictures of virtual shelves from their mobile phones on the
way to work and receive their entire order at home when
they return in the evening.

12. Track C: Supply Chain Management
G3. A Five-Year Plan to Avoid the
Obsolescence of Today’s
Manufacturing Network
The shifting dynamics of supply chain
strategy is pushing manufacturing activity
closer to the customer. This, in turn, is
altering the layout of the manufacturing
network and impacting the number,
location and kinds of manufacturing
facilities an organization operates.
Simon F Jacobson
G6. Five Steps to Quickly Linking and
Aligning Supply Chain Segmentation
and Supply Management
To optimize the value of supply chain
segmentation, companies must use five
key steps to link strategy and trade-offs
with other supply chain functions,
particularly supply management. Learn
how to take three immediate actions to
align supply chain segmentation and
supplier segmentation to create value.
Ray Barger Jr
G9. How to Build a Logistics Control
Tower for Supply Chain Visibility
Building on last year’s discussion of supply
chain visibility at a higher level, this year
we’ll talk about two approaches to
building a logistics control tower to
achieve supply chain visibility.
Christian Titze
G12. A Surge in Outsourcing Requires
Transformation in Logistics
Management
A surge in the outsourcing of logistics will
mean organizations have to rethink and
rework how they manage logistics within
their supply chain. We’ll help you do that,
as well as show you what defines a good
third-party logistics (3PL) provider.
James Lisica
G15. Balancing Global Orchestration
and Local Execution for Manufacturing
Excellence
Consistency and reliability drive the need
for common business processes across
manufacturing operations. As companies
revamp their production systems, the
trade-offs between enterprise
standardization and local execution must
be defined and managed.
Simon F Jacobson
G18. The Five-Step Path to Supply
Management Maturity: Transforming
Sourcing Procurement
Increase your team’s supply management
maturity and multiply the value of sourcing
and procurement to your company. Learn
the five-step path to supply management
functional maturity, and gain clarity on the
key initiatives that define this step-by-step
transformation journey.
Ray Barger Jr
Focus. Gartner predicts that, by 2016, less than 20% of companies
will be able to provide end-to-end supply chain visibility.

13. Roundtables and Workshops
Reimagine the Healthcare Chain:
By 2017, smart buildings will apply behavioral analytics to correctly
perceive health emergencies and request care virtually.
Each roundtable is an analyst-moderated, participatory session. An interactive sharing
of best practices, attendees should arrive prepared to share at least one best practice
or success story. This is the ideal forum for exchanging ideas with your supply chain
peers. Roundtables are restricted to a limited number of participants and are available to
supply chain executives only (SCM provider organizations are ineligible). Attendees will
be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can be made through the
online Agenda Builder tool.
These interactive workshops are presented
by Gartner experts and provide an
opportunity to drill down on specific how-
to topics in an extended, small group
environment. Workshops are available to
supply chain executives only, and capped at
30 participants. Pre-registration is required.
