Pace of change across the business landscape is accelerating and implications for freight logistics is significant. The biggest problem leaders have today is the lack of a clear window into sector challenges and opportunities, how these affect others’ businesses and insight into what collaborative actions can be taken. But we can build a better global supply chain which serves all stakeholders: participating in a cross-industry senior business network like F&L is how we learn, network, collaborate and act outside our usual limits. Because the issues we face today have become too large for even any one industry to tackle.
“… at F&L you have the largest cargo owners on earth, the people with the solutions, and bringing that together in a dialogue is what the modern economy is about: how do you create networks, and through those conversations, how do we create solutions for the future?”
(Well-known CEO)
Let’s try not to forget which impact each and everyone of us can make, for ourselves, the company we work for but also the industry we’re part of. If we are not going to drive, who will?
“The high quality of your association, members, and the thematics are in my opinion quite visionary“
“I was surrounded by informed people saying ‘no, that won’t work’ – we must put ourselves in a position where informed others can disagree, because that is the only way to build an effective strategy”
“F&L events help me gain a deeper understanding of what is happening in the sector and how that applies to my business”
F&L is an international network of senior business leaders responsible for freight logistics across the supply chain and operating in all sectors and transport modes, based across Europe and globally. This is a practitioners’ community – people who are actively leading industry. Everyone is welcome although we seek a mix of skills, experiences, perspectives, industry sectors, job functions & more to maximise relevance to you.
Participating is about mutually beneficial conversations and value-added dialogue with peers, academics, policy makers and others with knowledge of the sector. Members use the F&L community to reflect on how they position their business to deliver value in the eyes of their stakeholders, to exchange ideas on tackling tomorrow as well as today, to ask questions, to listen, to learn and to challenge. What’s going well, not so well and how can we prepare for what’s coming next? Everyone at the same table. We are lucky at F&L because the way we are set up means that this is about you.
Ask about attending a meeting to see if you think this adds value to you.
“Here I find the connections & the interest/support to help make things happen”
“Looking in your own business doesn’t tell you what’s around; it is my competitive advantage to know what is happening elsewhere and use that to enhance our strategy”
“These discussions open my mind and that’s when the good ideas come”
