20th & 21st August 2015The Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach, Sydney

The 4th PASA CPO Exchange

Of course, the exchange format dictates that CPOs attending must commit to a minimum of six half-hour meetings with sponsoring supplier partners. Our previous experience with this has revealed that CPOs actually find t he opportunity to meet with suppliers who they may not usually meet a valuable experience. Conducted in a very relaxed and informal way, the meetings provide an opportunity for both parties to learn more about each other explore whether or not there might be value in working together.

The final element of the event, and one that always receives extremely positive feedback, is the opportunity for informal networking throughout the event. Whether it be with fellow CPOs or participating speakers, facilitators or suppliers, there is plenty of time scheduled within the programme to build real connections that can deliver value.

I trust you find this of interest and hope to see you in August for the journey from stress to success.

Nigel Wardropper Managing Director | PASA

“This is one of the best events I

have been to. The presenters were

thought provoking and outside of

the ‘normal’ range and presented

a different and challenging

perspective. Great opportunity to

network.”

Inspiring Leadership in Procurement

The business world is changing at an unparalleled pace. Executives are under stress to deliver more, often with less resource. This is certainly true in procurement, with the push to secure cost savings, while managing risk and building supplier relationships that drive additional value.

With the theme “Inspiring Leadership in Procurement”, The 4th PASA CPO Exchange will seek to re-energize and inspire procurement leaders, to make them more productive, and to provide them with the tools and techniques to inspire and energize those around them.

The focus of the plenary sessions will be on mindfulness, personal wellbeing and leadership. How do you inspire and lead your team if you don’t first look after yourself? Sessions will address emotional and cultural intelligence, inspired leadership - what makes a great leader, stress - why it is good if managed correctly, and will conclude with ‘project inspiration’, sending attendees away prepared to inspire themselves and those around them.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend one-to-one executive coaching sessions with two of Australia’s leading business coaches in the areas of leadership and health and personal wellbeing.

While the main theme of the event is based on personal and team development and wellbeing, procurement is of course also on the agenda. The round-table discussion sessions will provide CPOs with the opportunity to discuss their key procurement challenges with their peers and find answers or solutions to their specific problems.

- Free accommodation at the Crowne Plaza, Coogee Beach for up to three nights.

- Transfers back to Sydney airport Airport if leaving at the end of the conference (Those staying on for additional R&R will need to organise their own transfers).

In exchange for all of this, all you have to do is get yourself to the event and commit to attending a minimum of six half-hour meetings with participating partners.

What is in it for you as a CPO?

The PASA CPO Exchange provides you with the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing, informative couple of days, at minimal cost, in the company of your peers and a number of leading suppliers of products, tools or services.

Attending CPOs will receive:The opportunity to attend an exclusive networking event with a select group of your peers -free of charge. Places are strictly limited to ensure the right atmosphere of exclusivity and intimacy.

- An educational programme featuring:

• Four keynote sessions that will send you away re-energized and equipped to drive peak performance from yourself and your team.

• Up to five intimate round-table sessions during which you can discuss your key procurement challenges with your peers.

• A half-hour one-to-one session with one of Australia’s leading executive coaches on either leadership or health and personal wellbeing (limited spots available – first come, first served)

• Dedicated meeting time to meet potential new suppliers and discuss how they might be able to assist your business.

- A Networking Dinner on Thursday evening, featuring a guest speaker.

- A Networking Breakfast on Friday morning.

How the Event WorksAll delegates will attend the keynote and networking sessions together. Where the programme shows round-tables, executive coaching or partner meetings, CPO delegates will attend one or the other. For each one-hour round-table session, there are two half-hour partner meeting slots available. This means that CPO delegates will be able to attend up to five of the eight round-table sessions, leaving three such timeslots open to fulfil their commitment to their six supplier meetings. Of course, if CPOs wish to conduct more supplier meetings, they are welcome to do so (a number of attendees at previous CPO Exchanges added on extra partner meetings)

Round-table SessionsUndoubtedly, one of the strongest benefits of attending for CPOs, is the opportunity to discuss key challenges with their peers. The headline topics for the round-table sessions will be nominated by CPOs, with those selected to be discussed asked to chair their discussion. This format will allow even greater personalisation of the programme, enabling CPOs to draw on the knowledge and experience of their peers in search of solutions.

On receiving the registration agreement and as a precursor to starting the meetings organising process, we will contact CPOs to ask them to nominate round-table topics and to volunteer to lead the discussion.

Organising your schedule in MarcomA few weeks before the event, attendees will be provided with access to an online meetings scheduling application (Marcom) that allows liaison with the Exchange Partners and Executive Coaches to organise meetings schedules. The software assists you to build your schedule to maximise your opportunities to attend those round-table sessions you wish to attend, while fulfilling your obligations with regard to Partner Meetings.

The sooner you commence this process, the greater the likelihood that you can create your perfect schedule.

Edward Cabello made his mark as an undercover police officer in the NSW Police Force in the early 90s, where he began his journey into the field of stress management. During a critical incident where shots were fired, he learned first hand the effects of physical and psychological stress. He left the Police Force in 2000 after serving with distinction and garnering numerous awards including a Bravery Medal.

At the time Edward was practicing Internal Martial Arts, which led to a 25-year journey in the study of three very rare forms of Chinese martial arts - Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing I and Ba Gua. Through the meditative aspects of this training Edward learned and developed strategies to deal with stress. He is now recognised as a dynamic and authentic speaker; and a leading authority in the field of Stress Management, Peak Performance and wellness.

He believes one never stops learning, and is currently studying Kundalini Meditation and MMA. Edward’s passion is exploring the power of breath energy and the focused mind in a lifelong commitment where he continues to push the boundaries of mind management.

Edward has worked with thousands of clients from companies like AMP and Citigroup, and in particular with business leaders who have lost the balance in their lives. He works on a one to one basis or in group sessions across a broad field, with his main goal to help people attain health, happiness and success in all areas of life.

Edward is also committed to working with young people, in particular with youth in Juvenile Detention. In 2008 Edward developed a programme called Turnaround, incorporating fitness, health activities and mentoring. In 2010, the program saw its first graduate, a young man able to re-enter the community, who is now employed and in a stable relationship, making a positive contribution to society.

Edward’s legacy is to plant a seed of health and wellbeing into the minds of the next generation of entrepreneurs so that they can truly enjoy the fruits of their labour.

His motto is “there’s no wealth without health”.

“In addition to their keynote sessions, Jacob and Edward will be offering free executive coaching sessions on leadership and health throughout the event.”

Did you find the overall experience worthwhile?“Yes – I would recommend it to others , the quality of attendees was excellent”

“The forum was fantastic and extremely well run. It was great to be able to network with peers while discussing the key challenges and issues facing procurement that were not necessarily industry specific.”

“Absolutely, wonderful – I’d love an opportunity to participate again. “

“I found the experience to be very worthwhile both from a networking and knowledge increasing perspective and I consider the CPO exchange concept is very innovative, in this regard. Also, I was very impressed with the organisation of the event and my compliments to everyone involved from the bttb Team both pre and at the conference on a job really well done.”

“My compliments for the event. Great format and I really enjoyed it.”

“This is one of the best events I have been to. The presenters were thought provoking and outside of the ‘normal’ range and presented a different and challenging perspective. Great opportunity to network, very important.”

“Overall a fantastic event – a great concept and well executed. I got to meet a large number of peers in different industries, and have a few good ideas to think about from the partners”

Would be great if some of the partners could send through invites to meetings a lot sooner in the process as there were two companies I would have liked to meet but did not hear from one until very late in the process and did not hear from the other at all. Overall a fantastic forum.”

Which elements of the event did you find most valuable and why?“One to one partner meeting, which provides insight of both businesses. Such exchange meetings provide dedicated time to understand each other’s business need/possible association, out of routine schedule.”

“Meeting new suppliers and exchanging ideas with other CPO’s from different industries, also networking.”

“Being an invitation-only event the size of the group meant there was quality time to network with fellow CPO’s and suppliers during and between sessions. The supplier meetings were informative and interesting and we’ll be following up several products/service offerings. Overall everyone was relaxed and open which contributed to the event’s success.”

“I enjoyed the overall quick pace of the event and the variety of learning and networking opportunities provided via the use of the three main streams of Key Note Presentations, Face to Face meetings with Suppliers and the Round Table Topic discussions. Of course the various more informal networking opportunities via the breaks, breakfast, lunches and dinners also provided additional opportunity for valuable discussion too.”

“The partner meetings were useful, and very engaging. Perhaps a wider range of partners would of been useful – especially more supply chain consultants and business optimisation specialists.”
