The Morning Session – For Senior Executives particularly.

During the morning sessions we’ll focus on the higher level and more strategic aspects of Supply Chain management, with a focus on reducing costs and boosting service performance.

Even if you know little about Supply Chain you’ll get this! Big Time. You’ll understand the ‘big ticket’ items in your Supply Chain that cause the greatest cost and service failures and more importantly how to identify them and fix them.

You’ll know exactly the right ‘awkward’ questions to ask when you get back to work…

Your ticket is for the whole day, so feel free to stay after lunch too.

The Afternoon Session – More Details on Specific Functional Areas

We’ll be looking at the major ‘Sins’ that take place with Warehousing, Transport, Inventory Management, Distribution Networks and more…

Drilling down into more detail of the morning session, subject matter experts will share their tips in a round table discussion format, so that you leave with a ‘hit list’ of improvement opportunities.

Of course, you are more than welcome at the morning session too.

TED style plenary sessions Event Format
The morning will be focused on plenary sessions, that will be highly interactive and engaging. And lots of case studies to help you see the potential for your own business.

Comprehensive handouts and guides to take away, will help get traction in your own business.

Why Do We Hold Events Like This?
Logistics Bureau have been running Seminars and Training Events since 1997.

Whilst our main business is Management Consulting, knowledge sharing is a central pillar of our core values within Logistics Bureau. Our whole team enjoys the interaction and passing on tips and insights to the broader industry.

It’s a great chance for us connect with others in our industry and we genuinely enjoy providing a learning and networking opportunity for everyone who attends. If you have been to one of our events, you’ll know what we mean.

Why Only $33?
A good question. For many years our events were free!

But now we generally request a ‘token’ payment for tickets, as we put this to use in our charity work. On the day you’ll see where your $33 is going. And it will be donated, on the day.

Rob O’Byrne our CEO is a strong believer in providing knowledge to the industry at minimal cost. We are not a conference company that needs to charge $1,000 or more per one day event. We provide these events as a value add to our clients, friends and the broader industry, simply because we want to.

Our ‘day job’ is helping our consulting clients improve their businesses.

At these events, our Subject Matter Experts share their insights and tips on all aspects of Logistics and Supply Chain.

With 22 years of management consulting experience, across 24 countries we have seen it all. And we have lots of valuable tips to share with you.
