What Makes This Program Different?
Using the four cornerstones of competition as a backdrop and relying on real-world success stories, this program presents new trends, fresh ideas, and practical solutions to directly impact your organization's success. Every organization has four distinct supply chains (or networks) that drive business: financial, informational, relational, and physical. Only when the four networks are working in harmony can the organization develop a winning strategy. With a focus on bottomline results, no other arena has the same direct impact on the well-being of the organization. ISM recognizes that effective supply management professionals have the responsibility to deliver value to all facets of the network and presents this conference in support of that model. Value X 4 attempts to focus on lessons learned and real-world successes, giving you new perspectives and proven strategies to help you give your organization a competitive edge.

Supply managers, purchasing managers,and directors, as well as purchasing agents, negotiators, contract managers, buyers and financial managers dedicated to strengthening the bottomline. Members of cross-functional teams outside the traditional boundaries of supply management will find this program beneficial.
