Supply Management is the process of managing relationships, information, and materials flow across organizational boundaries to deliver enhanced customer service and economic value. Supply managers aim towards synchronizing and amalgamating these flows through the implementation of a specific ordering of work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, clearly identified inputs and outputs, as well as a structure for action.
Project Management is also a structured process of managing workflow in a specific order across time and place. The close similarities between these two processes provide a firm foundation to expand the supply manager’s world view to adopt project management principles and techniques. This conference focuses on integrating project management principles into the supply management process. In this conference, you will learn how project management concepts could be applied to enhance supply management. You will also gain an understanding of the tools and techniques used to initiate, execute, manage, and control a project. Possible initiatives for the improvement of supply management through the application of project management concepts will be emphasized.

Self-mastery is not achieved by accident - it is a process that occurs as we interact effectively with the events and circumstances of our lives. Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice self-mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing. As we master our own emotions, we can enhance our ability to lead others, acting as a role model and someone others would truly wish to follow. Through this program, you will learn a great deal about yourself – how you think, how you perceive the world and how others perceive you, how you communicate and how you can enrich your communication skills - and through that process, you will learn how to lead others with great skill.
