PEAK Development Manager and Consulting partner at Thesame

Tuesday, October 12th - 2.30 - 3.30pm: SEMINAR #3

Topic: Collaborative Innovation: A New Way of Thinking.

 

PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:

There’s a huge and untapped resource of innovation and economic efficiency available to the outdoor industry.

Usually a company’s main focus is to maximise its returns. Their internal resources will be geared in this direction, with operations externally managed by a global international network of suppliers, subcontractors and vendors. The model is all about streamline the efficiency of the business, with each separate unit trying to improve its own internal efficiency.

But what efforts are being made to make sure there is efficiency in external relationships?

Companies that can instil a climate of confidence with suppliers in each step of the relationship can reap huge economic benefits. It isn’t easy to achieve, but Pierre’s presentation will focus on ways that businesses can develop this new approach to innovation.

 

RESUME:

Pierre Jarniat is not an academic or a consultant expert, but a practitioner. Most of his career has been spent purchasing and sourcing management, especially in the outdoor trade (at companies such as Camping-Gaz, and Millet). For the last 15 years, Pierre has worked as Purchasing Director of Salomon, during which he managed the development of a global international sourcing network in Eastern Europe (Romania) and Asia (China).

At each of these companies, Pierre was involved in every aspect of innovation, from purchasing and sourcing, to supply chain management, new product development and human resources management. This varied experience gave Pierre the foundation to develop new concepts in innovation.

At the age of 59, Pierre headed in a new professional direction in order to share and pass on his vision of a new way of purchasing by joining THESAME, a French Association that focuses on management innovations. Pierre also founded and is the Development Manager of PEAK (Purchasing European Alliance for Knowledge), a platform of studies and research into purchasing, oriented towards customer/supplier collaborative approaches in industrial networks. PEAK combines 13 academic partners with 20 international companies (including Salomon, Danone, Sanofi-Pasteur, Legrand, Somfy, Bio-Mérieux and Tefal), all working together to develop a ‘new school’ of purchasing.

Sport marketing is a recent science: the first American handbooks were published in the 80’s. Since then the field has developed with both academics and practitioners working to push frontiers with the continual development of innovative  concepts.  Developments over the last decade include: Ambush marketing which can drastically reduce  the value of your event sponsorship, CRM which gives you the opportunity to create a community, such as the surfwear industry (Quiksilver, Rip Curl…) has built,  experiential marketing in flagship stores, where the consumer is not there to buy, he is there to “live an experience” thanks to the brand eg closer to a Starbucks strategy then traditional retail and Co-branding between a sport brand and a non-sport brand which attracts new consumers to your brand and gives value to your products, such as the partnership between Apple and Nike.

But we are now at a crossroads as much of the the marketing landscape, such as media distribution, is rapidly changing as the massive growth of the internet alters rules and values.New ideas are sweeping away many traditional marketing strategies and brands will need to keep their fingers close to the pulse to stay ahead of the pack. Michel will look at how the various categories of sports marketing have developed, where they are now and their relative importance and what will be key to successful marketing over the next decade.
