Making Strategy Pay

Kevin Zwolinski is one of the most experienced Management Consultants in the field of Logistics & Supply Chain.  He has worked at the forefront of the industry for over 25 years in a big 4 company and in his own company, now 12 years on.  Often controversial, Kevin will share an insight into a methodology developed in collaboration with a former FTSE 100 main board executive which addresses the divide of business strategy and day to day operations.  Too often these are disconnected leading to all sorts of problems resulting in poor business performance and failure to deliver ‘on strategy’.

In these difficult times this is exactly the session that senior operations management need to attend in order to align “business led thinking with what actually gets done on the ground”.   Kevin will share the key steps of the Making Strategy Pay© methodology, and then provide some examples of how it has been applied in practice.  Click On Logistics also have a Stand at the Show.
