INTRODUCTION Leading organizations, across industries and regions, are increasingly adopting supplier relationship management (SRM) as an essential discipline. Success in a dynamic, competitive, and uncertain global economy requires moving beyond a transactional approach to dealing with suppliers, and instead systematically building and sustaining collaborative relationships with key suppliers across the entire lifecycle of interactions. As more organizations are adopting some form of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) there are still large discrepancies in the results achieved. This is mainly because of a lack of systematic approach and an enterprise wide change in behaviors. Hence, Kuwait Supplier Relationship Management conference we be organized during the period 2426- September 2013 to take a detailed look at how various companies have put SRM into practice and successfully leveraged their SRM platform to deliver step changing value creations to the business in a long-term and sustainable way. The conference is uniquely designed to address the needs of senior executives looking to improve new or well established SRM programs and drive competitive advantage through their collaborative relationships. During the Conference leading practitioners from a diverse group of companies and industries will be able to share the best practices and lessons learned from their journey to realize the true benefits of SRM. By attending this event you will expand and capitalize on knowledge of trends and best practices in supplier management as well as: yy Learn how to use SRM to optimally balance competitive cost pressures with collaborative engagement across the supply base yy Key competencies and behaviors that need to be harnessed to effectively manage the relationship yy Ways to move the relationship from a procurement/sourcing paradigm to one that is partnership focused to realize the true value and growth opportunities available from working in collaboration yy Turning trust into value by uncovering untapped avenues of innovation yy Uncover ways to “market” SRM internally and externally to ensure you have continued and sustainable support of your platform
