In today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) environment, every Supply Chain grapples with the challenge of effectively managing its resources, engaging stakeholders, and streamlining both internal and external procedures. This session will guide participants in establishing a Lessons Learned (LL) process, leveraging the tools and insights from Risk Management. Furthermore, attendees will grasp the “5 Ws” (Who, When, Where, What, and Why) and the “How” of integrating lessons learned into corporate culture to enhance efficiency via individual and collective engagement, rooted in the 'Build Back Better' principle. Key session takeaways include:
• Eliciting meaningful observations post-incidents or achievements.
• Formulating and analyzing observations to derive pertinent Lessons Identified.
• Determining the essential stakeholders to engage when planning a prospective Lessons Learned initiative.
• Validating and articulating finalized Lessons Learned.
• Exploring real-world case studies and narratives of both triumphs and setbacks.

"Navigating Logistics Success," is where we delve into the complex world of supply chain management through a stakeholder-centric lens. This workshop will explore how aligning logistics strategies with stakeholder goals can pave the way for organizational excellence. Against the backdrop of evolving market dynamics and increasing customer demands, logistics professionals are tasked with orchestrating complex operations while meeting stakeholder expectations. Success hinges on our ability to engage stakeholders effectively, align logistics strategies with their goals, and drive sustainable value across the supply chain.
With our experience in logistics, supply chain and project management optimization, we bring different mindsets, tools & techniques to the table. This workshop combines a comprehensive approach to stakeholder management, drawing on concepts from both the corporate and startup environments. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, we explore practical strategies for aligning logistics strategies with stakeholder goals. The same scenario will be used forming two ways of implementing in practice the stakeholder management and engagement concepts. Through these interactive exercises, we will gain actionable insights into identifying stakeholder priorities, defining clear objectives, and executing tailored logistics plans to drive tangible results. By using the "classical" approach versus the "start-up" way of doing things.

Opening Keynote Presentation | The State of the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
There have been some hard lessons learned over the last few years across the pharma supply chain. As disruptions continue to plague supply chain networks globally, rising costs of shipments, an increasingly dangerous physical and cyber landscape, and growing concerns over reducing carbon emissions are just some of the issues that the supply chain needs to address. However, all is not lost. New tools and technologies promise to help the digitization of the supply chain move along and improve processes across value chains. New prospects for partnerships and a change in mentality towards outcomes-based performances have allowed for innovation to take off and grow parts of the supply chain to new levels. Join us for a panel that kicks off LogiPharma USA and highlights the state of the pharma supply chain today, laying the groundwork for 3 days of peer-to-peer learnings and enabling new connections.
4:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Now, with new final guidance from the FDA, companies must ensure compliance before November 27th 2024. Join us for a panel discussion that will dive into what manufacturers, distributors, dispensers and repackagers must have developed and refined in order to ensure safe and secure patient access to prescription medications. Topics include:
- Ensuring your current partners are operating in sync with important tracking systems needed to be in compliance.
- Troubleshooting last minute hurdles that can affect compliance.
- Exploring resources to gain and maintain DSCSA compliance.
