🎉 I am thrilled that our corporate website has been ranked #1 in the F&B sector in Europe & #4 overall in Switzerland, according to this year's web ranking! 🎉 It’s an honor to receive such recognition, especially for our ‘About Us' Section, which was cited as a best practice example in the industry whitepaper. A big thank you 🙏 to Lundquist for this acknowledgment and to all our colleagues who continuously strive to make our corporate website a standout in the F&B sector - with special #Kudos going to Joël Marbach & Iris Hostettler!

Complexities of doing business have increased multi-fold in the recent past. Numerous factors are contributing to high degree of unpredictability and increased intricacy in our contractual relationships. Fierce competition has paved a way for positional negotiation strategies which are not yielding positive results in the long term. Hence, to cultivate a culture of success for both buyer and supplier organizations, we need to adopt a collaborative approach while negotiating our contracts. If you want to find answers to thought provoking questions such as "how to define success in a negotiation?", or "is it practically possible to adopt collaborative approach during a negotiation?", then make sure to join us for an interactive panel discussion on the platform of World Commerce & Contracting, where I will be moderating a discussion with established industry leaders Elle Jones, Fotini Kypraios FGIA FCG (CS CGP) & Jon Collis-Bird, CMMAP who will be sharing their invaluable insights and experiences on this topic. Thanks Sally Guyer and Tim Cummins for your vision behind organizing Collaboration Week and thanks Navisha Chauhan, Beatriz Lobato Castilla and entire #WorldCC team for all your help in planning and execution of this event.

While S/4HANA is on top of everyone's agenda to make decisions on, often topics like integration and the "satellite" systems like CRMs, Portals get missed or is an afterthought. FAIR has developed a comprehensive easy to use decisions tree to navigate how to manage those applications and integrations, in light of your S/4HANA journey. We're speaking about this in one of the SAUG sessions, and looking forward connecting with the SAP community and guide them on their digital transformation journey.

TR GO for GOLD proposed TR industry standards: Since our last post we have received lots of emails asking mainly the same 3 questions so we thought we would post the questions and answers, just in case you were thinking the same thing. Q1. What are industry standards? A1. Industry standards are documents that contain requirements that have been agreed on by groups of companies and people working in specific industries or on specific types of products. Comment: That's why we have been publishing the TR GO for GOLD proposed standards to engage all TR stakeholders and ascertain their comments and suggestions as to the criteria of each standard. Q2. Why does the TR industry need standards? A2. Standards are voluntary documents that set out specifications, procedures and guidelines that aim to ensure products, services, and systems are safe, consistent, and reliable. They cover a variety of subjects, including (but not restricted to) Product Design and Development, Marketing, Sustainability and Measuring Success. Comment: They serve to manage both retailers and brands expectations, allowing the best to rise to the top, whilst being aspirational for those whose journey has only just begun. Q3. Is there an awards ceremony? A3. Recognition of reaching a Standard which has undergone industry scrutiny, is of course all important and the TR GO for GOLD certification presentations will take place during the TFWA Exhibition in Cannes 2024. As per last year, there is no need to buy an awards ceremony ticket, as we will come to you by prior appointment, ensuring full visibility of your success throughout the Cannes week and beyond. For more information and links to the proposed standards please visit the click TR GO for GOLD awards website: https://lnkd.in/e_iM6BKi
