How a Solution Clinic works

  1. Framing keynote (Leader or analyst): A respected supply chain leader or industry analyst opens the clinic with a short, evidence-led keynote that frames the problem.
  2. Peer roundtables (Delegates): Leaders compare their biggest challenges, what has worked for them and what is in the way. The moderator collects the themes across the tables.
  3. Expert rotations (Solution providers): Experts move from table to table so every group meets every expert. No pitches and no demos.
  4. Clinic Action Plan (Moderator): The moderator brings the room together for questions and a written action plan with the top three recommended next steps.
