File sectionSpeaking & conversations

Ideas for the room.

Keynotes, fireside conversations and board sessions, shaped around the audience's decisions.

01

The hand-off is often the operating problem

Keynote · 30 minutes · Operations and supply-chain forums

A chief operating officer's perspective. Functions can meet their own targets while customers experience delay between them. I map how work crosses those boundaries and ask who owns the outcome when priorities conflict. Discussion focus: operating model design, service delivery, supply chain resilience, performance improvement.

02

Capacity is a commercial conversation

Site leadership session · Operating teams and plant leadership

A chief operating officer's perspective. Demand commitments and delivery capacity belong in the same discussion. When they are managed separately, the organisation relies on exceptions and personal intervention to bridge the gap. Discussion focus: operating model design, service delivery, supply chain resilience, performance improvement.
