In a recent Q&A session at the Transported Asset Protection Association EMEA 2024 conference in #Amsterdam, alongside my fellow Board of Directors colleagues, we have shared valuable insights on the association's progress and future goals. With the strategy taking shape and ready to be shared soon with our members, there is a drive coming from the Board on becoming the voice of the members and ensuring we continue to develop the association and blend the outstanding and unequalled set of skills, capabilities and knowledge. Here are some key takeaways: Marcel Saarloos emphasized the importance of "#innovation in supply chain security," reflecting on the need for #continuous improvement. Gino Laios highlighted that "member #engagement is crucial for our #collective success," pointing towards the power of #collaboration. Bjorn Hartong CPP, CSCP, MSc, MBAörn Hartong focused on financial stewardship, stating, "#Investing in security is investing in our #future." Leonie Buthey spoke about the support of our volunteers, "Let's applaud our #volunteers for their #invaluable contributions to TAPA—more support is always welcome!” Antonio Knezevic underscored the significance of "#expanding our regional footprint to strengthen our #network." Thorsten Neumann, President & CEO, concluded with a forward-looking statement: "As we approach our 25th anniversary, our #commitment to shaping the future of #supplychainsecurity has never been #stronger." These perspectives underscore TAPA EMEA's #dedication to advancing supply chain security and #resilience.

Hey everyone, I was chatting with a connection yesterday about our upcoming Public Sector Procurement Thought Leadership event. This person is an absolute wizard when it comes to Legal Procurement Advice, and I was hoping they'd snag a speaking spot to share their insights with our clients. The first question they asked was, "Will I have to pay to speak?" That question really struck me. It's rare these days to find events where speakers are purely there to share their expertise without having to buy a slot. So, I want to clear this up: our Procurement thought leadership events are completely free. Our speakers don’t pay to share their insights, and there's no hard sell on business or products. These events are all about learning, networking, and helping public sector procurement professionals grow together for the benefit of our communities. That's something I've always been focused on and will continue to prioritise. Let's keep these spaces for genuine growth and collaboration! Looking forward to seeing you all there - date and time in our London office pending but keep early October clear if you can! #Procurement #ThoughtLeadership #PublicSector #Learning #Networking #CommunityGrowth

Reflecting on the A of the 'A to Z’s of Association Management' blog from last month: A is for Alignment. 🔍 One common challenge for Associations is sticking to the strategic plan. These plans, crafted with the best intentions for members and the industry, often face the harsh realities of day-to-day operations. This pressure can push key priorities and goals further away. 📉 Adhering to a plan and prioritizing work is easier said than done. If you feel this pressure as an Association leader, you’re not alone. 🤝 It's challenging for small teams, sometimes just one or two people, to manage the business while also leading the industry. 🌐 Consider a strategic partnership with an AMC like HOST Management. This can transform your workload, realign your crucial role within the industry, and help you advance your strategic plan more effectively and swiftly. 🚀✅ How do you ensure your association stays aligned with its strategic goals?❓ https://lnkd.in/eyjXzXZD

Strategic planning is not just about setting goals — it's about creating a roadmap for success. Consider two exemplary companies: Bickford's Group of Companies and CSL Limited. Bickford's Australia, a historic beverage manufacturer based in South Australia, has strategically expanded its product line and entered new markets while maintaining its commitment to quality and heritage. By setting clear objectives and leveraging innovative manufacturing processes, Bickford's has strengthened its market presence and continued to thrive in a competitive industry. Similarly, CSL Limited, a leading biotechnology manufacturer headquartered in Melbourne, has driven growth through its strategic focus on innovation, research and development, and expanding global markets. CSL's clear objectives and investments in cutting-edge technologies have enabled it to navigate industry challenges and maintain a strong market presence. At our Executive Super Roundtables, you will gain insights into proven effective strategic planning. On June 19th in Adelaide at the Australian Centre for Business Growth, Professor Ryan Williams will explore why some businesses struggle to grow and how strategic planning can overcome these challenges. In Melbourne on June 26th at KPMG Australia, James Stewart will discuss strategic planning during organisational change, providing practical strategies for creating a roadmap to success. Effective strategic planning leads to improved decision-making, better resource allocation, and sustained competitive advantage.

📅 Join us for GUBERNA Director’s Day on September 24th! This year’s theme is “What if…? Making Impactful Board Decisions in Tough Times.” 👉https://lnkd.in/ecczJ2k3 We all know we live in challenging times. Crises hit on all levels, and still business continues as usual. We are in almost in the midst of the decade… Major challenges are ahead, not in the least on political and economic level. GUBERNA Director’s Day wants to assist in building these strategic scenario’s, giving directors like you inspiration and guidelines on how to deal with change in such a way that you start creating change, “owning the change”. 🗣️ One of the speakers in our panel, Wout Van Impe , Team director Belgium & partner of MU: "Effective Boards are those that are successful in their unique context. As a result, no normative model describing the general characteristics of an effective Board is possible. Instead, context-related, and contingency-oriented frameworks are suggested for a better understanding of Boards. And definitely in challenging times." Register now: https://lnkd.in/ecczJ2k3
