"Collaborative Commerce: Strategies, Architectures & Implementation
Roadmaps"
By Dr. Rod Heisterberg, Managing Partner, Rod Heisterberg
Associates
Registration and Networking: 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Presentation and Interactive Discussion: 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Open to the Public. No Fee. Pre-registration recommended due to
limited seating.
At this Challenge-The-Expert,
come interact and "challenge" Rod Heisterberg on Collaborative
Commerce (cCommerce) as he identifies it as the key strategy in
the next stage of eBusiness.
cCommerce business
practices enable trading partners to create, manage, and use data
in a shared environment to design, build, and support products throughout
their lifecycle, working separately to leverage core competencies
in a value chain to form a virtual enterprise. Sustainable competitive
advantage may be realized by adoption of cCommerce concepts and
critical success factors as well as a strategic planning methodology
that incorporates the use of a balanced scorecard with supply chain
management metrics to affect an adaptive planning process for value
chain optimization.
Leading enterprises
have created a business case to realize the cCommerce value proposition
by promoting the critical success factors to deploy Internet technologies
for internal and external data sharing; provide loosely coupled
application interoperability via Integration Hubs across the value
chain; focus on core competencies for collaborative business practices;
and build virtual enterprises on trusted value chains to redefine
competitive advantage.
The following
key issues for the development of the next generation eBusiness
strategies will be addressed and opened for "challenge"
for an interactive discussion during the second hour of the program:
What
is Collaborative Commerce and Why Should I Care?
Conducting Strategic Planning for cCommerce
Developing cCommerce Business/Applications/Technical Architectures
Building Interactive Incremental Implementation Roadmaps
for cCommerce
Leveraging Value Chain Management: Lessons Learned and Next
Steps
