In this new era of complexities and uncertainties, it is now the role of top executives to shoulder the companies through these strategic shifts by tuning in to trends early and retooling their supply chain strategies to ensure the very survival of the company. With this in mind, 80+ global leaders from key vertical industries convened at The Strategic CXO Forum, 6 September 2005, Suntec Convention Centre, in Singapore, to address key trends, opportunities and challenges that will shape the future supply chain.

Held in an intimate setting which allowed for maximum interaction, and facilitated by leading experts including Professor Hau Lee, Founder & Director, Stanford Global Supply Chain Forum, and Kieran Ring, CEO, Global Logistics Institute, this event fostered frank discussion and elicited a broad range of perspectives on key concepts crucial to for the future direction of businesses.

It was without a doubt that the Strategic CXO forum was highly engaging and thought provoking. Delegates at this event were privy to case studies and thought processes of the world’s leading corporate practitioners who have demonstrated outstanding thought leadership, influenced the way corporations do business and achieved success in transforming their corporate supply chain into lean, competitive tools that point to the future of supply chain management.
