AUSTRALASIAAWARDS 2014

Our 2014 awards host: Tony SquiresTony Squires is best known as the host of Back Page Live on Fox Sports. On Triple M he heads up a range of weekly shows including The Ruck with former Wallabies Tim Horan and Matt Burke on Sunday mornings.

The 2014 awards ceremony promises to be bigger and better than the last, and includes a leading line-up of entertainment, plus the pre-dinner drinks and fine dining you’ve come to expect from the night of nights.

Dockside, Darling Harbour, Sydney – 15 October 2014

2014 is a special milestone for CIPS Australasia conferences – it marks 10 years of delivering quality events to help professionals deliver real strategic and sustainable value to their organisations.

And the CIPS Australasia 10th Annual Conference is no exception! Our conference programme has been developed through the many meetings and conversations our team have been having with practitioners across Australasia. And each conversation always comes back to:• Technology – The advance of technology is constant,

rapid and increasingly complex. It is critical that today’s procurement professional has an acute comprehension of what this key enabler can deliver.

• Talent – The war amongst organisations in acquiring good people who can add value and deliver a genuine return on investment has never been greater. The leaders of procurement operations consistently cite talent as a key issue they are struggling with.

• Transformation – Complexity has rendered traditional tried and tested change management plans obsolete. This has called for a more innovative and creative range of solutions that are flexible, adaptable and agile allowing the organisation to change direction quickly to meet market challenges.

• Tomorrow – In an unpredictable volatile world, the need to make sense of the future will be an important and critical competency for procurement leaders.

Join us as we celebrate this milestone by bringing together a host of national and international procurement leaders to explore procurement & supply through a range of interactive sessions including tutorials, case-studies, interviews, workshops and exclusive research insights!

What are the skills, competencies and attributes of the procurement professional of the future? INTERVIEWAdaptability and flexibility are said to be key attributes for successful leaders in today’s society. But do the same ring true for procurement?

Madeleine Tewes, a budding procurement professional of the future will ask all the tough questions of a respected procurement leader to highlight the skills you need to succeed!

Is your procurement function a strategic enabler? RESEARCH INSIGHT Aligning business strategy and the procurement function provides a clear opportunity to create value. Companies that take a strategic approach to procurement strike the balance between bottom line cost savings, whilst meeting business requirements, and fostering innovation, which in turn effects top line growth. So, the key question is, how can you transform your procurement function so it generates clear strategic value in an ever changing and challenging market?

Procurement & ERP: From selection and licensing to planning and implementation CASE STUDY Nick will discuss how ERP systems are quite different to the systems most organisations have evolved with; why the transition can be difficult and the particular issues to managed.

Participants will gain a unique insight and a host of tips about managing the many business process changes and the political maelstrom that usually accompanies such changes.

The future of Strategic Supply Management Solutions With an increasing focus on managing issues related to global growth, volatility and risk, procurement organisations are adapting and evolving, with opportunities abound.

This session will focus on how procurement can deliver sustainable savings while achieving key corporate objectives such as mitigating volatility and risk, enforcing compliance and maximising operational performance.

1425 - 1500

Do you have the skills and adaptability that will 'future proof' your career? WORKSHOPIn a recent worldwide study, 63% of CEOs were worried about the availability of key skills.

Antonia will present the latest in competency mapping tools to help you identify and fill skill gaps for tomorrow’s direction and upcoming challenges in procurement.

Tales of Transformation from a Master Storyteller CASE STUDYKevin McCafferty has a wealth of experience across transformation involving people, process and performance. Join Kevin as he contrasts three major transformations he has delivered in the rail, airline and mining sectors, exploring the highs, lows and learnings along the way.

Strategy – what? WORKSHOPIs the word strategy over used or more importantly should it apply to procurement? Joe believes that it is absolutely applicable to procurement but is not convinced that people outside the procurement function believe it should be.

Joe will lead an interactive workshop exploring how technology, and in particular, data can drive good procurement strategy.

Optimising procurement’s efficiency and effectiveness Procurement teams are being asked to deliver more value for less cost. However procurement teams are often either low cost, or proficient in delivering more value to the business, but struggle to do both.

This workshop will explore methods for maximising the return on investment in the procurement function, allowing procurement teams to deliver on the promise of more for less.

Building the Brand of Procurement and Supply RESEARCH INSIGHTSForward thinking players are setting their sights on advancing the future of procurement (and its people) with active value management. Because CFOs are the de facto scorekeepers, procurement’s brand value must be addressed.

This session will present the results from a combination of sources, including ROSMA surveys and the 2014 AEP survey and highlight the opportunities and challenges that procurement must embrace to build its brand by clarifying the value it delivers, improving career development and progression, and the recognition for the function and its people.

0940 - 1030

The Glasers – BreakThrough Communication USA KEYNOTE LIVE STREAM FROM THE US – A CIPS CONFERENCE FIRSTTrust is not a prerequisite for communication. It is a by-product of communication. Yet purchasing professionals are often challenged by communication breakdowns as they work to extract the greatest value for the money their organisations spend.Even with the best of intentions, many of us communicate automatically, often making blunders that take a toll on our professional and personal lives. The models presented in BreakThrough Communication offer flexible guidelines with progressive steps that are easily learned, applied, and adapted in order to develop and maintain strong, positive relationships and to actually create trust through conflict.

1100 - 1130

Progress on the Launch of the Australian Purchasing Managers Index EXCLUSIVE UPDATEOne of the most exciting initiatives on CIPS Professional Agenda is the development of a new Purchasing Managers index for Australia. PMIs are a key economic barometer used by Reserve Banks around the world (including the Fed in the US and the UK’s Bank of England) to analyse and plot national economies.

Peter will outline the progress made on the development of this key index for Australia which is being developed by a partnership of Melbourne University and CIPS Australasia.

1130 - 1200

The Innovation Imperative – Why and How Purchasing Must Change PANEL Abstract: Businesses face a historic set of challenges in today’s complex global economy. Fortunately, procurement is uniquely able to help companies adapt and succeed. However, to do so, the function must innovate. This session will discuss how emerging trends and technology in today’s Networked Economy can enable a smarter, more strategic approach to purchasing.

CIPS Global Standard for procurement and supply CASE STUDY The Global Standard for Procurement and Supply is a competency frame-work that can help organisations and individuals, working across all sectors, to understand the intrinsic value that procurement practice can contribute to strategic goals.

This workshop will show you how to effectively use the Standard through the application of a case study with Metro Trains Metro Trains and ArcBlue Consulting.

Leadership and Culture: Why it matters Leadership and culture are often cited as barriers to success, but a clearly defined culture and leadership strategy is paramount to achieving top level leadership buy-in and advocacy.

So what do those that succeed in transforming leadership and culture have in common? Keith will challenge your views discussing how managers who lead a successful culture and leadership change can leverage greater team performance, stakeholder excitement and deliver substantial value to the enterprise.

Designing better futures FUTURISTMichael McAllum is an internationally recognised speaker, author and facilitator consultant. As a “futures architect,” his focus is on the how to shape and harness the power of the forces involved in the transition from a mechanistic and centralized 20th century world to a 21st century networked and distributed society.

Economic outlook: from global to local ECONOMIC UPDATEDid you know that:• China now takes 35% of

Australia’s exports compared to the US which only takes 4% of the nation’s exports;

The VEGAS! Game – Professional Edition – Deep Dive WORKSHOPIn the early 1980’s, an Israeli physicist named Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt turned applied manufacturing theory on its head with the first publication of his Theory of Constraints (TOC). Since that time, TOC has been utilised to improve thousands of production lines and factories. By utilising over thirty years of constraint theory applied to manufacturing, the VEGAS! Game applies a simple process to breakthrough process performance barriers and rapidly impact productivity on any process or system. This workshop will focus specifically on the procurement process and leave you with a tool for increasing productivity and profit.

How mature are your supply chains in practice? RESEARCH INSIGHTSThis session will explore the role power, and dependencies on main suppliers have in determining your supply chain maturity. Calling on global research, Dr Böhme will highlight best practice and how Australasian companies can thrive.

Procurement as an enabler of innovation On average, strategic procurement accounts for 20% of an organisation’s budget but creates 80% of the risk. Despite this, a traditional approach to procurement is generally taken. We will seek to show that this is not only restrictive, but also that there is a clearer approach to encourage innovation.
