Building on his past research in financial services and construction sectors, Dr Kalra presents a framework of how large organisations can integrate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their supply chains and collaborate with them.

Large organisations are increasingly seeking to collaborate with SMEs by integrating them into their supply chains.

Three factors drive this trend:

1. There is an increased pressure on organisations to create and demonstrate social value by the government and the public.
2. Exogenous shocks such as Brexit, COVID-19, and trade wars have driven organisations to consider regionalisation and insourcing approaches
3. Organisations need to access niche, specialised capabilities to achieve breakthrough innovation.

Collaborating with SMEs, however, is not without its challenges. The SMEs have different ways of working, relatively lower capacity to absorb risks, and face resource constraints.

Therefore, large organisations need to think differently regarding their sourcing strategy to collaborate with SMEs successfully.

In his presentation,Jas will present insights from his research in the financial services and the construction sectors.

In particular, a framework for understanding the processual coordination challenges in engaging and integrating SMEs in complex supply chain networks would be presented.

Finally, the strategies that managers and organisations could adopt to address these challenges will be considered.

Presenter:  Dr Jas Kalra (LinkedIn profile) Assistant Professor in Operations & Supply Chain Management at Newcastle University Business School: has previously worked as a Supply Chain Researcher at University College London, University of Bath School of Management, and Alliance Manchester Business School. Dr Kalra’s research examines how individuals and organizations collaborate to deliver complex, inter-organisational operations & projects. His research projects have examined the procurement of professional services, contractual and relational governance of buyer-supplier relationships, and supply chain technology platforms and ecosystems.

MS Project is a very intuitive tool. It just takes a few minutes to install and you can start using it in a breeze. You can do amazing things with it.  However, sometimes it starts giving unexpected results.

It does things as if it has a mind of its own. It becomes extremely frustrating, especially for the beginners, because it does a few calculations in the background and changes the schedule data on its own.

Task Types is one such topic where MS Project can surprise you with its own background work. In this webinar, you will learn everything that is there to know about the task types.

You will learn about the fundamentals of task types, why they are required, and how can you change default type. This webinar will help you to use task types properly in your project.

Agile found its way into project delivery with the PMBOK® Guide and PMI certifications recognizing the growing adoption of agile practices.

Most Agile frameworks, like Scrum, Crystal and XP, were conceived by developers for a small team of developers and do not cover the entire Project Lifecycle.

A project is not limited to product delivery by a small team, and most Agile frameworks are challenged when scaling up to the enterprise level, especially in organizations with a mature Governance framework where a Project Management Office has the responsibility for Project Delivery.

In the trenches, the famous ‘mindset change’ applies not only to people that used planned approaches but also to the people that started Agile in small product development teams that must learn the value of aligning their ways of doing things to Enterprise goals.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will cover the project delivery phases. This session is based on the author’s 30+ years of experience as an agile practitioner, moving from managing Software Development teams to managing projects.

The webinar will be an experience sharing exercise based on the fundamental principle that the best way to become Agile is by “doing it and helping others to do it”.
