While I am writing write this message, I am in attendance at the APICS 2013 conference. In general, 2013 was a planning and positioning year for APICS. 2014 will see an execution of those strategies. Beginning October 1, 2013, APICS will be launching a new brand and logo. The previous brand “APICS The Association for Operations Management” will now just be “APICS”. The Cleveland chapter will begin implementing the new logo over the next few months. While the new logo is important I believe what is really important is the new strategy and direction for APICS. Supply chain management is a dynamic field and constantly changing. APICS has partnered with Michigan State University to conduct academic and professional research. In addition, the board composition has been changed to set the organization on a future path of growth. APICS will focus on increasing membership and expanding knowledge of the brand. While APICS certification is widely known in production, operations and supply chain management circles, the brand is weak outside of these areas. Social networking and mobile applications will be some of the new tools that APICS will use to market the brand. APICS is positioning itself for the future. Over the past 25 years, strategic planning, communications, and leadership have become integral requirements for effective supply chain management. The question now concerns how these requirements have evolved in a world where supply chain strategy must consider multiple channels and business models. APICS will study this shift and share recognized competencies considered essential for chain success. APICS has embarked on a new project looking at what’s likely to shape the future. Board Positions APICS has a few positions open on the Board. Please consider being a volunteer on the Board to network with other professionals, improve your skills which will enhance your career, and to continuously learn and have fun while doing so. If you have any interest in joining the team, please contact me. Research (Tom Rath bestselling author & Gallup senior scientist) has shown that those who volunteer are more engaged in their jobs, are more satisfied and happier with their life in general.
