SUMMARY: ARCHSTONE CONSULTING AND WORLD INTERNET CENTER OFFER STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE SESSION ON SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT:
THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 2004
Summary below.

On Thursday, July 24, over sixty executives and supply chain experts gathered at Villa Montalvo, the historic estate in Saratoga, Calif., for an afternoon of dialogue at the 2004 Innovators Forum on "Making Your Supply Chain an Engine for Driving Value." In collaboration with the World Internet Center, this session was hosted by Archstone Consulting (http://www.archstoneconsulting.com), a firm focused on delivering independent, strategic advice and operational results.

Archstone Consulting's premise is that in the next five years, companies that outperform their peers will do so through their supply chains. The event was designed to share strategies on how to use your supply chain as a sales and growth engine for competitive advantage. The session showcased a stellar line up of presenters, including the EVP of Sears, the COO of NetFlix, RadioShack, Pepsi, Levi Strauss, and others.

More details from the afternoon's findings will be announced in future newsletters and posted on the Center's Website.

"COOPETITION," THE CORE OF THE WORLD INTERNET CENTER, MAKES THE PRESS CHECK OUT THIS MONTH'S PM NETWORK MAGAZINE
Further information below.

"Coopetition," the art of bringing competitors together to collaborate for a greater good, is the core of the World Internet Center's culture. Check out an interesting article in this month's PM Network, the magazine for the Project Management Institute (http://www.pmi.org), where Dr. Susan Duggan, the CEO of the World Internet Center is quoted as saying, "If you can get [companies] into a coopetition mode, . . . their commonalities provide for innovative solutions rather than them defining themselves into a narrow trench." More in the June issue of PM Network!
