Using Emotional Intelligence to Get More of What You Want in Any Negotiation

Successful negotiators learn new negotiation strategies all the time, AND, they know how to keep emotions from sabotaging successful negotiations. You will learn proven emotional intelligent, communication, and negotiation strategies that will enable you to: negotiate with difficult and not so difficult people more easily, push through emotional blocks, set appropriate goals, ask probing questions that promote critical thinking, work through mistakes without losing face, and use psy-chology to persuade and influence others to your way of thinking.

Alan Ovson, Ovson Communications 9:15—10:15 AM

2A

International Trade Panel Discussion

Business leaders face important challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. From the bank-ruptcy of a major ocean carrier, a vote in the UK to leave the EU, pending international trade agreements and tensions in the South China Sea, there are many issues to discuss. Join a panel of experts from academia, government agencies, a consulting firm and an international trade organi-zation to learn more about these and others issues. The discussion will center on Brexit, the Trans Pacific Partnership and other international trade topics important to supply chain professionals. This will be an interactive event, so come prepared with questions!

Leader vs. Manager: Effectively Communicating Up and Down the Corporate Hierarchy

Leaders lead people and managers manage things. If you think you’re a leader and nobody is fol-lowing, you’re just taking a walk. In this workshop you will take away an effective process for dele-gating, you will practice a technique that will neutralize anger, fear, and anxiety with your direct reports, and you may discover how Emotional Intelligence can build and grow a team of motivated employees without the use of manipulation and persuasion.

Richard Himmer, The Himmer Center 9:15—10:15 AM

1B

Finding the Root Cause of Problems—The TOC Way

Finding the true root cause of a given problem is the goal of practitioners of Lean Manage-ment. The theory of constraints (TOC) approach, which is a derivative of lean thinking, argues that very few constraints restrict the performance of any system. TOC does not try and optimize all constraints all at once but focuses on identifying and eliminating the true constraint (or the root-cause) of the system. Tools such as Thinking Processes (TP) can be used to identify the root cause behind most of the problems by researching the cause-and-effects between the various entities.

Deepak Iyengar, Central Washington University 10:30-11:30 AM

2B International Trade Panel Discussion (continued) 10:30-11:30 AM

1D

Principles of Price Cost Analysis (Part 1 of 2)

In this two-part workshop we will first discuss the basic principles of analyzing a seller’s costs and how those costs relate to the eventual selling price. Then in the second workshop, we’ll talk about how the price analysis can be used to a buyer’s advantage when negotiating long-term purchase orders and contracts.

Negotiating successful and cost-effective purchase order or contract is a key responsibility of sup-ply chain professionals. But consider for a minute that negotiating a better contract isn’t always about saving money. A more valuable, cost-effective and complete contract is also a much better contract. The more you understand about the seller’s cost the better the negotiated outcome can be. That is, by looking at the various cost elements involved in establishing the seller’s price, we can find opportunities to be creative in negotiating cost savings.

In the first workshop we’ll talk about the difference between direct and indirect costs as well as the influence of market-pricing strategies. Understanding and analyzing a seller’s pricing structure affords astute contracting professionals negotiation opportunities.

Mike Taylor, MLTWEB.com 3:15—4:15 PM

2D

Big Data Implementation/Data Analytics

Big data and data analytics is changing the way companies do business and impacting supply chain management. Learn about big data and how it relates to SCM, using data for meaningful results, the role of forecasting, impacts on the Omni-Channel and the future of big data.

Cliff Allen, Portland State Univ. 3:15—4:15 PM

3D

SaaS Contracting

This presentation will compare traditional software models with Software as a Service (SaaS). An overview of cloud computing and how SaaS is delivered will be presented. The advantages and disadvantages of SaaS will be covered. Total-Cost-of-Ownership of On-Premises Software and SaaS will be compared. Issues around Data Security, Data Privacy, Hosting and IP Ownership will be discussed. And key license terms for SaaS will be highlighted.

Gerard Fernandez, Denali Group 3:15—4:15 PM

1E

Negotiating Long Term Agreements (Part 2 of 2)

In the second workshop we’ll discuss how we can leverage our understanding of cost elements as a negotiation strategy to achieve long-term contracting goals. With direct cost elements, it is usu-ally obvious how to improve the bottom line and lower the selling price. Changing the raw materi-al, shipping terms, components, labor mix, schedule, etc. are common ways to improve the pricing structure. Even when considering indirect costs, there are some negotiating strategies that can improve the negotiating outcome.

Supplier Scorecards in an Indirect World

Scorecards are a valuable tool for measuring and directing supplier performance. They are usually populated with quantitative data pulled from internal systems, looking at metrics such as perfor-mance to lead time and quality issues. But what about indirect suppliers - how do you create a scorecard for a product or service that does not have a drawing, a BOM, or even consistently tracked data? Join the session to hear about the speaker’s journey into scorecards on the indirect side of the business. This session will also cover some of the challenges that exist and ways to overcome those challenges to create a framework for an indirect supplier scorecard.

ment opportunities that exist, as well as the key skill areas that employers are looking for. Accord-

How to Set Goals and Actually Achieve Them

Want to be a high performance manager able to achieve your dreams and aspirations? High per-formance people, just like high performance organizations, have key factors in common. They develop clear pictures of what they want, see themselves actually doing what they want to do, are clear and excited about their basic purpose, and they clearly understand what they value and are able to verbalize it. These vision elements are the motivators that help people set realistic goals, develop clear communication, respond creatively to change, push past self imposed and other barriers, and deal most effectively with others. Once a person has a clear vision, they can easily create the goals that will get them there. This session will help them do it.

Alan Ovson, Ovson Communica-tions 7:30—8:30 AM

It’s Your Responsibility: The Impact of Supplier CSR Performance on Firm Value

This presentation answers that question and more by analyzing 20 years of financial market data, and observing how social responsibility issues have impacted share price and firm value. Thousands of data points but only a few big conclusions.

Supplier Relationship Management

A shift is happening in the Supply Chain Management profession. Traditional procurement func-tions are being outsourced, as these skills are no longer seen as strategic capabilities of the in-house procurement team. As these non-core competencies shift towards out-source, organiza-tions are more reliant on suppliers to ensure innovation, security of supply, corporate social re-sponsibility, and on-going cost savings. In short, strategic supplier partnerships are key to the suc-cess of the organization. Join Kathleen Allen for this interactive session on how to proactively use the discipline of Supplier Relationship Management to work collaboratively with suppliers in order to maximize the value derived from those supplier relationships and help drive a competitive ad-vantage for your organization.

Kathleen Allen, Boeing 8:40—9:40 AM

Managing Risk in the Supply Chain

The supply chains that we operate in are full of risks, including financial, operations, environmen-

tal and political risks. How do we go about managing (and mitigating) these risks as supply chain

professionals? This session will talk about the various approaches to risk management, as there is

no “one size fits all” when it comes to risk. Do we avoid it, mitigate it, transfer it, or just keep our

fingers crossed? The presenters will offer their experience and insights from both a procurement

management perspective and a through a risk management lens. Real life case studies will be

shared with attendees that will help to better understand the importance of properly managing

supply chain risks.
