FOURTH
WORKING GROUP SESSION
The Center is very pleased that the fourth Working Group Session
will be facilitated by Rod Heisterberg, a well-known supply chain
expert and former participant at Center programs. Dr. Heisterberg
was formerly a Director at Gartner Consulting where he led engagements
for eBusiness transformation strategy and applications architecture
development.
Dr. Heisterberg
will discuss Collaborative Commerce (cCommerce) as a strategy for
the next stage of eBusiness evolution. cCommerce business practices
enable trading partners to create, manage, and use data in a shared
environment to design, build, and support products throughout their
lifecycle, working separately to leverage their core competencies
together in a value chain that forms a virtual enterprise. Sustainable
competitive advantage may be realized by adoption of cCommerce strategies
and business models.
Today, forward
looking enterprises are seeking to achieve the benefits of cCommerce
by leveraging the Internet as an enabling technology in order to
transform their core business management decision making practices.
These real time enterprise value propositions are based on managing
information rather than inventory. The business case for cCommerce
is predicated on information technology (IT) investments to facilitate
collaborative business practices with shared data and visibility
information that will improve decision effectiveness.
Supply chain
operations that involve actions outside the enterprise's four walls
require monitoring and measuring trading partner performance as
never before, in part, due to virtual enterprise integration of
the core competencies across the value chain. In order to
ize this new
capability, enterprises must re-engineer their decision making processes
in such a manner so that they are able to adapt to the dynamics
needed to synchronize supply with demand. Decision makers must be
able to evaluate performance across the virtual enterprise using
common metrics in order to make effective decisions for guiding
value chain strategies, directing logistics tactics, and managing
operational activities in a timely manner. As cCommerce evolves
as the mainstream eBusiness strategy for effective value chain management,
the re-engineering of management decision making processes becomes
the critical success factor for enterprise profitability and growth
in the 21st century.
The following
questions -- among others -- will be discussed, over wine and light
hors d'oeuvres:
•
What is the business case for re-engineering the strategic, tactical,
and operational management decision making process?
•
How will the appropriate metrics be identified and shared among
trading partners to manage their value chain processes?
•
How will virtual enterprise information integration drive enabling
technologies for real time decision support systems?
•
Which Web Services deployments have a stronger value proposition
for private trading exchange solutions versus public B2B marketplace
offerings?
