Supply Chain and Procurement, ESG 73

At ESG 73, hosted by the British Council, members held a ‘strategy exchange’ – each taking the floor and summarizing their organisation’s strategic priorities how supply chain and procurement will drive success. Key network themes for 2010 emerged from this exchange, such as managing shared and outsourced services, risk management, the globalisation of processes and consumer driven supply. A discussion on best practice in strategy making and execution followed, drawing on multiple private and public case studies. A key message was that successful strategy making is about Prioritisation, and execution success requires Monitoring, Measuring and Publicising progress.
