“The SCLG summit is the best forum for executives in the industry to meet and discuss the technological innovations that will help us serve our customers better. The summit has a great combination of international and local expertise, and is very relevant to Dubai’s rapid growth in the aviation and maritime sectors”
“The SCLG business summit is an excellent opportunity for business leaders in the logistics industry to exchange Know-How on latest trends and future developments in our Region. SCLG constantly improves the level of excellence with a world class group of speakers from around the world. I look forward to participate in the 2016 summit and discuss with customers, colleagues and competitors alike about technologies & innovations for a constantly changing market environment.”
“ We at Green Dome Investments are very selective in the conferences we attend, but found the Supply Chain Summit to be very valuable. Valuable for connecting to industry trendsetters, discuss new developments in the market and get inspired with enlightened views on the topic of the supply chain across all verticals.”
“In the Middle East, SCLG is one of the major networking platforms for supply chain and logistics activities. Through the annual summits, their homepage and magazine link experiences are shared, future projects are presented and innovations and trends are discussed.
Being a member of SCLG, EPS could actively contribute to develop the market and take it to the next level.”
The most disruptive phenomenon that the world has seen in the last decade and more is that of digital transformation. Digital is changing the way the world works, lives and even thinks. Industry 4.0 that has evolved from GE's Industrial Internet and many European models of manufacturing and logistics is the success of cyber-physical developments created by technology push and customer pulls and enabled by business process re-engineering, advanced analytics using machine learning and artificial intelligence and cultural changes across the organisation. The way the world manufactures, stores and ships goods and manages global supply chains will change entirely in the next decade and new global winners will emerge.
“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” (Albert
Einstein). We are living in volatile, uncertain, chaotic and ambiguous (VUCA) times. Change is everywhere. We cannot successfully redesign or modify our supply chain or business model to the new situation, if our thinking and mindset is not reinvented. This is why so many companies fail to keep pace with the change; let alone lead it. My message to the organisations is that they should nurture a courageous mind; a mindset of courage, possibilities and personal commitment to continually grow from being good to better to best. This is only possible when the mind is trained to break free of the limiting paradigms, fears and negative beliefs. Once the organisation develops transformational leaders with courageous minds then leading change and delivering disruptive innovations and results becomes easy. Remember, all change starts from within and then flows out to transform our vision into a reality.
