The two keynote speakers, Dr. Pankaj Ghemawat and Dr. Richard Florida, are both world renowned thought leaders with deep expertise in strategy and economics.  Dr. Ghemawat's focus on multinational commerce, globalization of leadership teams, and emerging economies is the foundation for his keynote "World 3.0 – The Evolution of the Global Multinational."  His presentation will explore the current state of progress in the global multinational, and how this impacts, shapes and defines future strategies.  Attendees will take away insights on how their operations will be impacted when conducting business in new, uncharted markets, and learn how to position themselves to reduce risk and benefit from new opportunities in said market by creating a strategy that accounts for challenges previously unimagined. 

A complimentary and equally important discussion on the second day of the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit is on "Megacities and Spiky Demand."  This keynote by Dr. Richard Florida, will delve into how demographics and demand patterns will shift with the rise of megacities, or locations where innovators, doers and trailblazers congregate to avail themselves of resources and common culture focused on the future.  These new hubs of commerce, advancement, and civilization will create a revolution in how companies function and organizations must adjust now to remain competitive in the next 5-15 years.  Attendees of this presentation will learn how talent pools will begin to migrate, impacting business production, operations and consumption patterns and learn how to re-engineer their logistics to capitalize on this trend.

The outcome of attending these two keynotes, along with the insights derived from Supply Chain Insights Supply Chains to Admire work, presentations on new business models, advancing technologies, the impact of crowd sourcing, and senior level peer networking will provide attendees with a foundation to transform their supply chains, and accelerate performance within the organization.
