Session 1A (Conference Room)
Integrated Value Planning,
Professor Bram Desmet, Solventure
Bram will present a new vision on integrated planning called Integrated Value Planning or IVP. It goes beyond S&OP or IBP, by natively integrating financial planning and supply chain planning, by natively connecting sales, marketing and resource planning, by connecting the broader supply chain eco-system, and by including sustainability trade-offs into the heart of our planning processes and decisions. Bram will present an 8-stage IVP maturity model, that shows how to get beyond S&OP and turns IVP into a business planning as opposed to a supply chain planning process.

Session 1B (Project Room)
Mapping for the future
Luca Gelsomino, Assistant Professor, University of Groningen
The journey toward Net Zero goals in supply chains challenges the delicate equilibrium between sustainability and resilience. Directives and regulations recently introduced in Europe push strongly for sustainability across supply networks, whereas geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty call for resilience and agility, sometimes at the expense of the same Net Zero objectives. This is exemplified by critical materials, which on one side are more and more relevant for the Net Zero goals, but on the other present key challenges in terms of resilience, being plagued by geological constraints reflecting in geographical, infrastructural and substitutional challenges. Facing those challenges, mapping the supply chain emerges as a key component of the journey towards Net Zero. This presentation will explore current challenges to resilient and sustainable supply chains, from geology to CSRD, in the context of EU Net Zero ambitions. More specifically, it will discuss why it is paramount to change our approach to how we think and map our supply chains. This is indispensable for a future that is both sustainable and resilient.

S&OP transformation towards an Integrated Business Planning: A Pathway to Operational Innovation in Supply Chains
Federico Baiocco, VP Supply Chain, Iveco
In an increasingly complex and dynamic world, Integrated Business Planning (IBP) stands out as a strategic approach for enhancing supply chain efficiency and resilience. The presentation will delve into Iveco Group's ongoing journey towards implementing IBP. We will discuss the challenges encountered, the strategies employed to overcome 'analysis paralysis', and the steps taken towards effectively embedding change within the supply chain operations. Using real-examples, we will explore how the transition towards IBP can foster operational innovation and contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient supply chains.

Session 3B (Project Room)
Forced Labor Challenges
Suzanne Richer, Managing Director, Global Trade Practice, Supply Network Consulting Group Inc.
The global effort to end forced labor in supply chains by 2030 has resulted in a plethora of regulations that are impacting sourcing and supply chain visibility in a way unforeseen. The USA Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is the most aggressive, authorizing customs authorities to stop shipments at the border. Since its implementation in June 2022, Customs and Border Protection has seized close to 8000 shipments valued at over $2.8 billion. Join the discussion for how the USA and Europe, with its pending updated regulations, are changing how companies manage the visibility of their supply chain, their required screening of partners and the mapping of their imports and exports from raw materials through to manufacturing. The program will outline key steps needed to maintain a resilient supply chain in light of these regulations.
12:15 – 12:40
Session 4A (Conference Room)
Supply Chain Design: a need and a complex task. How to design and simulate the supply chain network of a 1.6 billion distributor.
Igino Colella President, CSCMP Italy
Supply Chain Design requires a concrete methodology, hard work to define hypothesis and find actual costs, and tiring computations to perform simulations. In this case, the largest Electical Distributor in Italy grew from €400 to €1.600 million in six years so the Top Management decided to redesign the network. The goal: how to cope with new customer expectations, customer centricity, sustainability and cost reduction and optimize all of them! John Gattorna, Igino Colella and Thierry Conte lead the project using Dynamic Supply Chain framework, a simple simulation tool and a very small team, mostly internal.

Current talent market dynamics for Supply Chain roles: Opportunity or Risk?
Miquel Serracanta, CEO, Solutions Decisions
Due to recent disruptions in global supply chains, a war has been established to attract and retain talent in Supply Chain roles. Traditionally there was competition for management and executive positions, but now companies also compete in “individual contributor” roles (we will share which are the most sought after today). To attract and retain the best in the different roles, we will also see which are the most sought after technical (hard) and personal (soft) skills today on day. Finally, we will give some tips and recommendations for companies seeking to attract talent and for candidates who are considering professional changes.
