Iasta reSource - Main Day

May 15th, 2007 at 10:38am David Bush - Iasta

Today, we start the main presentation cycle for our conference. I am lucky enough to have great technical facilities at the Marriott which allows live blogging. I, personally, kicked off the presentations with a “State of the Union” regarding Iasta and the eSourcing marketplace. I was followed by John Inwright, former CPO of US Foodservice and UFPC (Yum Brands coop). John had a very interesting presentation about supply chain from the Executive level which focused on taking risks within scope and developing talent throughout the organization. I felt he would provide great perspective of supply chain strategy as it applies to an organization in totality.

Next on is/was the global eSourcing manager for the second largest retailer in the UK who presented fantastic detail and explanation of how to systematically build and expand a successful eSourcing roll-out and embed process in the strategic sourcing lifecycle. I am of the opinion that this is the best tactical discussion of how to correctly implement and grow eSourcing technology that I have participated in for quite a long time.

Coming up, is famed blogger and industry pontificator, Jason Busch as a keynote luncheon speaker. He is well worth the money and I would recommend his services to any group trying to impress. Also, later today, we are breaking up the presentation format and creating working groups of 7-10 to discuss specific concepts which I think will be highly productive. All in all, I think the event is going very well and feedback has been very positive.
