NAW & IBM's Guy Blissett to air free March 5 webcast on Facing the Forces of Change study

Feb. 14, 2014
IBM's Guy Blissett National and the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) are airing a free March 5 webcast on the recently published benchmark study, “Facing the Forces of Change: Reimagining Distribution in a Connected World.”

Developments in the areas of mobility, eCommerce and social networking are creating exciting opportunities for individuals and businesses to connect and collaborate. Leading companies are harnessing these technologies to transform their value proposition, connect and collaborate with supply chain partners, and innovate the customer experience.  However, factors such as the rapid pace of technology change, the number of decisions and options, and the complexity of the organizational and strategic implications can be daunting.

On this webcast Guy Blissett, author of “Facing the Forces of Change: Reimagining Distribution in a Connected World,” will summarize the key research findings and messages around mobility, eCommerce and social networking from this latest report. This will include putting these technologies individually and collectively into context for distributors. Executives from distributors in three different lines of business  -- Charmer Sunbelt, BDI and Ingram Micro -- will then share their activities and perspectives in these areas. Following that will be a discussion with three leading distributors. Click here to register for the webcast, which will be sponsored by SAP and held 1 pm EST on March 5.
