Event Details:

Speaking during the Kinaxis sponsored session is Jim Rowan, former COO of RIM, on the topic of:

Value Chain Architecture as a Competitive Weapon: A Discussion on the Future Design of Value Chains

As the saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm;" however, "the second mouse gets the cheese." Designing a supply chain that is fast and effective, yet protects against unforeseen risks is no longer a differentiator, it has become table stakes.

The value chains of the future will not only provide speed and risk mitigation, they will transform today's cumbersome weekly management meetings into "real time" S&OP discussions centered around exception-driven dashboards delivered via wireless technology directly to the CEO. This is beyond the cloud — this is using value chain architecture as a competitive weapon.
