2. Editor`s note
The 2nd Manufacturing Pricing conference took place May 21st - 23rd
at the Radisson Blu Hotel Amsterdam Airport in Amsterdam. Over
120 pricing experts from across Europe and beyond came to discuss,
share, learn, and network around several themes such as value
based pricing and TCO, pricing strategies in a highly competitive
market, change management in pricing, ROI in pricing, pricing initiatives,
pricing execution improvement, analytics-enabled pricing optimisation
and much more.
“Segmentation, Pricing KPI´s and Innovation in Pricing”
Looking at the evaluation forms and key takeaways of participants,
it is clear that Value Based pricing on everyone’s mind. Even though
many cases are proven to be successful, organisations still struggle
to find the right way to get paid for the Value created. There are
several challenges like differentiation, segmentation, process
complexity, organisational alignment, sustainability and time, that
still hinder organisations from achieving full ROIP. During the conference,
it was constantly stated that pricing is not a project but rather a
journey. A journey that requires time and organisational acceptance
(change management). During his presentation Miguel Serrano
Kieckebusch, Global Pricing Strategy Director at Medtronic pointed
out that only 9% of the organisation that undertake the pricing
journey manage to have a sustainable pricing strategy.
Another Key topic that came up several times at the conference was
how we can measure KPI´s and which KPI´s should be measured.
No matter if we are just starting our pricing journey or we are in
need for additional management support for our pricing activities,
we need to be better in measuring how we are impacting the business
or how can we improve? Additionally many organisations are now
interested in learning more about legal aspects of competitor/market
systems for price enforcement of sales force.
Overall, the event showed that most manufacturers are facing the
same challenges. This type of event is the perfect platform for them
to learn from each other, brainstorm on, and get inspired into new
and innovative pricing concepts.

During the evening networking reception delegates had the opportunity to network and share their challenges and formulate a set of
question for the Studio guests on the 3rd day of the conference.
The main day started with
an opening speech by Harry
Macdivitt chairman of the 2nd
Annual Manufacturing
Pricing Excellence conference.
He opened the conference with
difining the macro challenges
that pricing professionals are
facing today and the role and
characteristics of a Chief Pricing
Officer.
Shortly after, he introduced our first speaker Benoit de Dorlodot
who is acting European Channel and Pricing Manager at SKF
Industrial Market Regional, Sales and Service. Benoit presented
a practical case study on creating, calculating, communicating
and profiting from Value created. He started the presentation
with a short video where number of leading authors and experts
in selling and pricing like Jim
Harus, Ralph Oliva, James C.
Andersen and Neil Rackam
together with the CEO of SKF,
Tom Johnstone were talking
about the “Power of so What”
and how important creating and
capturing Value is in developing
businesses. Shortly after, Benoit delved into the specifics of under-standing
Manufacturing Pricing Excellence Platform 2014 - Post Event Report 5
and measuring Total Cost of Ownership. “Companies
and governments who buy and sell on Total Cost of Ownership
make and save more money” – he said. Once we understand the
Total Cost of Ownership, we can continue with the process of
Value documentation, delivery and measurement. Benoit ended
the presentation with a recommendation on how to develop and
implement a Value Merchant Strategy.
The second speaker was Mike
Lawson, Pricing director at
Depuy Syntes. He started the
presentation with a question to
the audience – “What is your
pricing purpose?”. After a short
general comparison between
Cost Plus Pricing and Value
Based Pricing he presented the 5 C’s of Value Based Pricing –
Comprehend, Create, Communicate, Convince and Capture.
Shortly after, he focused for a while on how to communicate
Value internally and how to secure management commitment.
“Be ready to have different conversations” – he said. “In order to
maximize profitability, we need to achieve Value Based pricing by
looking at the data and based on that data we can create techni-cal,
personal and business arguments to secure stakeholders
commitment.”
The last speaker in the first
plenum block was Dr. Paul
Artur Glenn, Head of Global
Pricing Service and Parts at
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen
AG. He focused on Heidelberg’s
system service journey to
Pricing Excellence and how to
optimize millions of prices on a global scale. After a staggering
presentation on their well-studied, defined and proven global
pricing strategy, he ended the presentation with some lessons
learned and recommendations. “First you need to have a clear
vision of where you want to develop your pricing. Define your
pricing framework and methods and have a clear plan how you
want to proceed and implement. Implement hands-on first for
initial parts and initial markets to check your set-up, convince
stakeholders and to show initial results.
It is very important to develop
a business case for the big
picture. Only when you have
developed and implemented
your strategy, focus on the
tool. Select the right vendor
based on a comprehensive
selection process and define
clear expectations what you
expect to get, the terms and con-ditions
(e.g. conditions based
on implementation success)
and the future roadmap. Finally, expect and manage challenges
along the implementation road and earn the fruits from your
initiative along the road” – he said.
8. Rearview mirror
Day 3 started with some great presentations from DuPont,
Borealis and Air Products.
First on sage was Victoria Mascaray Martí, Pricing & Channel
Competency Leader EMEA at DuPont. During her resentation
she focused on the challenge of implementing value-based pricing
at the right time by sharing her experience with how DuPont
overcomes this challenge. ”It makes sense to implement Value
Pricing at the early stage of product life cycle while differentiation is
hig so that cumulative $ benefit is maximized, however because
data for Value Pricing is scarce and immediate $ impact is small
the team is tempted to delay Value Pricing, risking significant
potential profit over the life cycle,and opportunity to develop
sustainable capability in the organization” - said Victoria.
The second presentation in the morning came from the dynamic
pricing duo from Borealis Group, Peter De Vos, IT&S Business
Co-ordinator and Emanuela Papapietro, Senior Commercial
Excellence Manager. In their very well sincronized presentation,
Emanuela and Peter focused on the importance of Change
management in Pricing and how to get the organisation geared
up to accept change.
“To garantee success, what you need is full commitement and
management support. Work close with IT on a platform and data
requirements, Use business people to drive the organisational
change as project managers and ambasadors, Finaly avoid
perception of loss of empowerement by the sales team. Communicate
and agree with Sales Management before starting negotiation” -
said Emanuela.
This years conference ended with an interactive discussion
called Studio Pricing. This 80 minute session was based on a
talk show settings. The host of the studio Richard Coppoolse,
Co-author at “Innovation in Pricing” and Founder of Value Pricing
Consultancy, welcomed
Rickard Nilssonfrom Electrolux Major Appliances EMEA, Sascha
Kueppers from BMW AG, Stephan Reis, Avery Dennison Materials
Group and Ingo Hennecke from Bayer CropScience.. Each of the
guests got interviewed by Richard Coppoolse for 10 minutes
after which the delegates could have the opportunity to address
their questions to the guests.

The last speaker in Track 2 was Mirko Maternini, Strategic Global
Pricing Manager at O-I.
As a follow up on last years great presentation by Vincenzo
Pellegrino, Mirko presented in-depth presentation on the
implementation of value realisation analisys in O-I. Durring the
presentation he presented 5 hypotesis that they wanted to solve
and that they knew is worth solving; low margin transactions,
freight absorption opportunities, regional discount & rebate

pricing project, a sustainability program and buy-in process was
implemented. “Simplicity in the complex world of pricing is waht
drives succes. As a most effective profit driver, pricing is about
analytics and execution, Pricing changes concern not only pric-ing
and sales teams but a large group of stakeholders. For that
purpose changes requires leadership suport and executive buy-in.
