College Of Operational Excellence Mini-Conference May 3, 2018

Event: COE Mini-Conference May 3, 2018 This college connects operational excellence researchers and practitioners to actively discuss the operational challenges that impact performance outcomes. This year, we focus on understanding the role of operational excellence where the business models are constantly changing and organizations are grappling with the tensions between standardization and agility. In this new environment, when digital disruption of supply chains is the norm, it is important to understand: What role could/should operational excellence play, and why should companies invest resources in standardizing processes, developing people and supply base, if it might need drastically different processes, people capabilities and suppliers in future. We will explore these and other similar issues with world renowned executives and researchers.
