WHEN BEST IN CLASS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH
The Tissue World Advisory Board is compiled from experts in the tissue industry. These experts work with the Tissue World Miami team to ensure the quality and relevance of the conference content by providing their guidance and expertise.
Identifying Hidden Dynamics to Optimize Business Performance
Interdependencies in today’s global market are driving us towards a knowledge based economy. To understand interdependencies, we need to compare expertise from our mature industry with fast moving trends influencing the wider economy. The Business and Management Day will guide delegates through multiple levels of learning – navigating our way through from broad global trade and consumer trends through the sourcing and production chain to retail. A combination of thought provoking presentations and deep-dive interactive sessions will give new perspectives and the opportunity to dig into the most challenging issues and most exciting opportunities.
During the Technical Sessions new ideas on product quality, operational efficiency and Industry 4.0 will be gained. Solutions emerged from continuous improvements will form the Yankee Operations Workshop. As the leading event series in the Tissue industry for 25 years, Tissue World provides a hub for this knowledge generation and transfer. Patrick Boateng Leader - Global Sourcing The Kroger Co., USA

SESSION 1: GLOBAL DRIVERS
MARCH 21 Business and Management Day AM A New NAFTA: What’s Next?
China’s Industrial Strategy: Outlook and Implications
Tackling Water Scarcity with Big Data
With complex multilateral trade negotiations following unpredictable timelines, this session will bring attendees up to speed on the latest status and outlook on the NAFTA renegotiations. In particular, we will examine potential supply-chain impacts, areas of volatility, who the winners and losers might be, and how businesses can navigate the changes.
President Xi Jinping has presented his ambitious vision for “China’s Dream”, but what will it mean for businesses in the rest of the world trading with China? This presentation will focus on China’s industrial strategy, highlighting the elements business leaders should be aware of when looking at supply-chains, buying from, and selling to, China. We will also look at how China’s strategy may manifest itself in short to medium-term policy shifts.
Industrial growth in a water-constrained world requires us to shift mindsets and practices from water as a consumable good to a recyclable asset. The technology exists today to support this transformation. This presentation will show how Ecolab is leveraging Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform to harness the power of big data, aggregating and analyzing billions of data points fed from Ecolab sensors in thousands of plants, to establish world-class operational benchmarks.
Suzanne Blanchet, Strategic Advisor, Canada
Rodger Baker, Vice President of Strategic Analysis, Stratfor, USA
Julie Lindley, Marketing Director, Nalco, An Ecolab Company, USA
Consumer Tissue in North America: Operating in a Market Ruled by Fundamentals North America’s highly saturated market is mainly driven by fundamentals like population and GDP per capita growth. Understanding the dynamics of incomes, spending power, and population trends, can interpret the challenges ahead. This presentation will explore opportunities for targeted market reach and product development, including for the much talked about Millennials – who they are, further segmentation within this age group, their preferences and aspirations.

Supply Side Dynamics Supply side volatility, whether driven by resource scarcity, or shifts in global trade flows, is often identified as one of the manufacturer’s most demanding challenges. This presentation will cover the latest updates in key areas such as the scarcity of recycled fibers, alternatives to wood pulps, and the status of imports to North American markets.

Consumer Trends Update What’s in Store: 2018 and Beyond
BUYERS’ EXPECTATIONS Today’s Retail Realities: What Does It Take to Compete?
It’s been a year of eye-opening change for U.S. fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers and retailers. Consumers are shopping across a wider array of channels and looking at all of the products they buy with more scrutiny, and an eye towards transparency and sustainability. In this session, we’ll discuss what the growth of e-commerce means for tissue, what motivates consumer choices and how the brand landscape differs online vs. in-store.
The sky-high expectations of today’s consumer have created a revolution in the retail industry, driving changes at an unrelenting pace. This presentation will focus on how manufacturers and suppliers can engage their retail customer by providing additional value - not only in terms of price - we will use examples of “When Best in Class Wasn’t Good Enough”, to illustrate the full value chain retailers consider when making key Tissue purchasing decisions.

Shaw Shahery, President/CEO, Convermat, USA
Big Data, Big Impacts?
Panelists
With Tissue mills already embracing the latest manufacturing technology, and high degrees of automation is leveraging Big Data the next step in finding the additional efficiencies and performance improvements manufacturers crave?
• How to align the interests of consumer, retail, and manufacturers?
• What’s next: short – medium term outlook – what is (or should be) possible? Are there barriers to implementing the phase of innovation?
• E-commerce – what do viable models look like?
• New business models and joint-ventures that reach outside the production facility to other stakeholders – such as the Ecolab – Microsoft collaboration, and Valmet’s Industrial Internet partners Tieto and Kemira.
• AfH - mass procurement / facilities improvement insights.
• Arrival of discount chains in North America, and impacts on Private label.
I n addition to the technical and process benefits, we will examine management considerations, for example, looking at new business models – what does this mean in terms of the new services to exploit or questions of data ownership that these innovations bring with them.
