Retailers today are faced with unprecedented challenges ranging from shifting retail formats, overabundance of consumer choice, fast-changing technology, greater focus on quality and price to a tough economic climate. The result is that those who are not constantly innovating run the risk of falling behind. This white paper looks at the top five supply chain challenges that retailers face today and maps out a series of strategies to address these challenges based on research and direct experience in supporting retailers to maintain a competitive advantage in a highly competitive market.
The development of COVID-19 and its impact on global business has highlighted the vulnerability of supply chains to rapid disruptions. Many companies are struggling with both changed demand patterns and disrupted supply situations, as the effects of the virus outbreak extend further than anticipated.
We don’t know the full impact of COVID-19 on our businesses, and we can’t predict what is in store for the future. But we can reflect on previous supply chain disruptions and apply past learnings to the current situation.
Practically Applying Sourcing Grids for Risk Management Thomas Tanel
Purchasing and supply management have never been easy. The past several years have caused many executives and professionals to lose more sleep and gain more gray hair (or lose more hair) than usual; therefore, the next decade requires upgraded skill sets to survive.
Portfolio analysis is one of the most powerful techniques
used by the purchaser, despite its simplicity. It is a simple “grid” tool that charts the amount we spend on products or services and the complexity of its acquisition.
Portfolio analysis helps us define our sourcing strategy and the best sourcing techniques to use dependent upon the position on the sourcing grid. It also defines the relationships (supplier positioning) we need to have with our key suppliers and gives us an insight in how the key suppliers may see us in perception model. It allows you to organize your time and
resources for maximum benefit and it encourages strategic thinking and analysis to reduce cost, add value, and minimize risk.
the presentation is about the six sourcing strategy in supply chain
it has included all type of sourcing strategies that are used in supply chain.
for example, few supplier, many supplier, joint venture, vertical integration, virtual companies and kereitsu network

Strategic Sourcing: Walking the Tightrope in Developing Sourcing StrategyThomas Tanel
This presentation will focus on developing the sourcing strategy as a fundamental and logical process involving the application of tools by skilled, competent, and knowledgeable purchasers. Simply put, our focus will be on the “how to” in developing a sourcing strategy. Are you experienced?
Topics that will be addressed include spend analysis, categorizing the best opportunities for sourcing group profiles, Porter’s Five Force Model and Sourcing Grids, establishing sourcing group portfolios and supplier portfolios, using the proper RFX format for sourcing, and making strategic sourcing the focal point for supplier negotiations. Participants will view “good practice” examples of the above.
If you find yourself “walking the tightrope” with a strategic sourcing initiative or an ongoing effort, you’ll get valuable information in developing your sourcing strategy. With our five phase approach, we will discuss the following “how to”:
1. Develop sourcing strategies differentiated by expenditure category and based on market dynamics.
2. Deeply involve end-users in sourcing for knowledge and buy-in.
3. Apply a rigorous sourcing approach that examines internal needs against supply market options to find the lowest total cost.
4. Challenge specifications and usage patterns to ensure that each expenditure is providing the best value for the company.
5. Identify, analyze, select, and negotiate with strategically advantaged suppliers, not just the ones with the lowest price today.
This presentation will conclude with a presentation review that can refine your understanding of the factors, tools, and guidelines you need to make your sourcing process more effective and more profitable for your organization.

Continued consolidation of the food supply base will lead to more powerful and assertive customers in some markets. These customers are placing increasing demand on the entire supply chain for reduced cost and higher levels of value delivery. While many companies focus on price reduction as a solution they soon realize that there is only so much supplier margin and they soon become in effective in trying to meet the increasing demands of the customer and company management. They also realize that there is a significant cost and time involved in changing and developing new suppliers.
The solution to increasing demand for value is to get business alignment across the entire supply chain. This requires value-based relationships will require substantial changes in behavior by the buyer and seller. This webinar will detail the need to establish clear processes through which buyers and suppliers interface and collaborate. The focus is on building and developing a Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) focus for your business.
Things covered in the seminar:
-How can a company build a process that delivers cost and value improvement Year on Year
Understanding the Supplier Relationship Management Process

I was asked to speak at the IPA Strategy Group's Modern Briefing event this morning. These are my thoughts on why participation is so important-it fundamentally disrupts business models-and how we can get better at briefing for participation:
-A business problem is a behavioural change in disguise
-Think about network insights, not consumer insights
-Move from "the single thing we want to say" to "the single thing we're going to make or do"
In an 'always on' world where channel-surfing B2B customers demand real-time responses - no matter where they are - what is the optimal role of social media marketing? Roxane Divol, a partner and leader of McKinsey's Marketing & Sales Practice, addressed this question at the ITSMA Marketing Leadership Forum and demystified the emerging role of marketing as a driver of social technologies. She also discussed the tactics and strategies B2B marketers should use to access the touchpoints and datastreams that reinforce the social consumer decision journey. This presentation provides insights into how, when, and where social media influences and uniquely engages customers, as well as current best practices for developing, launching, and demonstrating the financial impact of social media campaigns.

The world of B2B marketing has changed dramatically with the advent of internet and the increased connectivity in today's world. Traditional marketing methods are getting increasingly ineffective as buyers become more informed and highly aware of the products or solutions they need.

The main thesis of this article is that several long term trends are reshaping marketing and forcing marketing managers to change radically to keep up. These long term trends are technological, socioeconomic and geopolitical. The future landscape of the business worldwide will have the marketing evolutions as a driver. These evolutions will be the response to the changes of business and marketing environment. How we see the future depends partly on our current perspective. A research oriented visionary will detail what the future brings for researchers. A technology oriented one describes the wonders of coming technologies. Marketing managers are likely concerned with future developments in their specific areas of responsibility i.e., advertising and promotion, branding, or supply chain . Academics likely look for the hot new research topics. S. Balaji | A. Jayaprakash | K.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
