A broad community of senior business leaders who want themselves and their teams to look outside their own organisations. “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”. “Sharing knowledge and collaborating is how we see around the corner”.
They are open-minded and want to move their own strategies forward through collaborative discussion with customers, suppliers, competitors, practitioners, sector experts and industry leaders across the supply chain. F&L is a trusted platform to do that.
Because life is not becoming simpler for supply chain and logistics practitioners. We need a clear window into others’ businesses and we need the help of everyone to tackle our own and bigger challenges. This is in-depth round-table collaboration between all stakeholders for their mutual benefit. Dialogue is market-led and current (today & next 3 years).
“So far I have always been able to take learnings which could be embedded (great or small) in my day-to-day job. Believe that linking in with industry leaders is making that happen”
“I don’t see the same old thing re-packaged here: F&L is unique insight from industry & knowledge which is not mainstream”
“For me the value of the different connects have been great” & “immense value in these connections and conversations”
“Super-senior across Europe; this is a powerful platform for our sector”
“The annual fee is amazing value”
How to maximise benefit: F&L talks year-round. We meet online & in-person, in small topic-driven groups, as a full network, in your country and others, for brief exchange and for longer discussions, ensuring we access all facets of dialogue. In-person meetings are interactive and focus on tangible outcomes for all. Online meetings are short, focus on what’s happening today, and get straight to the point. Because F&L is about you, all participants and members sit at the same table because everyone plays a part in operating the global supply chain and logistics sector. The single most important way to gain value is to make sure that you & your colleagues are consistently at the table.
