Executive Think Tank

Competing in the Crosswinds

 W Hotel, Prague 
 12th - 13th March 2026 

Executive Think Tank

In Partnership with

A private, invitation-only forum for senior executives from global manufacturing organisations to explore how AI is reshaping decision-making across supply chain, procurement and enterprise technology.

This closed-door session brings together VP-level and C-suite leaders from multi-billion-dollar manufacturing businesses for candid, peer-level discussion focused on real-world decisions, trade-offs and execution.

Who it’s for

This Executive Think Tank is designed for:

VP-level and above executives (VP / SVP / EVP / CxO, depending on company structure)

  • Senior leaders from large, global manufacturing organisations

Executives with responsibility across:

  • Supply Chain (including senior logistics roles where appropriate)

  • Procurement

  • Technology, Digital and IT (CIO / CTO / EVP / SVP)

Agenda at a glance

  • (Foyer)

    Standing canapés & Prosecco / softs. Badges, housekeeping, Chatham House reminder.

  • (Great Room 3, U‑shape)

    A clear‑eyed scan of geopolitics, trade, energy and inflation: what’s non‑negotiable for CSCOs now, and where the opportunities are.

  • A senior operator/board voice to set ambition and tone.

  • Participants split into two groups, running simultaneously:

    • Decision Lab A

    • Decision Lab B

    Each group participates in one lab during this session.

  • Coffee/tea & light bites. 

  • Groups rotate so all participants experience both labs:

    • Group previously in Decision Lab A moves to Decision Lab B

    • Group previously in Decision Lab B moves to Decision Lab A

  • (Great Room 3)

    Read‑outs, challenge, and lock decisions & owners: top 3 AI proofs + top 3 resilience options with trigger thresholds and dates.

  • Occulto

  • Grand Café, semi‑private.

  • 08:00–09:00 — Networking breakfast (Grand Café) — informal follow‑through and 1:1s.

What You’ll Take Away

  • Shared decision language that links policy, demand and cost realities to outcomes on service, cost, cash and sustainability.

  • A prioritised shortlist of actionable use cases—spanning AI-driven planning, scenario modelling, cost-to-serve, and circularity/returns

  • First-draft action plans in a trusted setting: decisions to make, signals to watch, owners to involve, and metrics that matter.

  • A clearer economic view of resilience—comparing options (buffers, dual-source, near/ally-shore, logistics, reverse logistics) and the activation triggers that guide when to pull them.

  • A high-trust peer network you can lean on after the event for pressure-testing and follow-through.

  • A concise post-event summary capturing key insights and next steps for internal alignment.
