I. MARKETING PROCUREMENT – BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH MARKETING AND OTHER CENTRALIZED SERVICES (10:00-10:50AM)
When you are new in a procurement position, setting yourself up for success is one of the most important things you want to do.  In many cases it could entail generating healthy relationships and opening lines of communications, as these are important factors for any person in marketing procurement.  If not done correctly, it could become a major pain point. AIG will discuss the importance of having that open line of communications and building the right relationships with marketing and other internal resources, in order to evolve to a successful joint partnership.

Speakers:
Anna Maria Pochatko, Operations Manager - Corporate Communications –  American International Group, Inc. (AIG)
Mark Clowes, Director, Global Branding – American International Group, Inc. (AIG)

IV. DISRUPTING THE STATUS QUO: HOW DECOUPLING PRODUCTION FROM CREATIVE CAN IMPROVE THE BOTTOM LINE (1:00-1:50PM)
Production decoupling, or separating marketing execution from creative development, can enable greater control over brand assets, a simpler way to manage production complexity, and savings of up to 25%. While it's a trend that has taken hold in Europe, the U.S. has been slower to disrupt the status quo. This facilitated discussion will invite members of the committee to join other marketing and procurement professionals in a lively debate on the pros and cons of decoupling.

Speaker:
Gregory North, Vice President– Xerox Corporate Lean Six Sigma & Business Transformation
