10.30 The Icebreaker speed networking How does this work: 3 icebreaker questions were developed (see below) beforehand. Each delegate will sit face to face with another participant where both will discuss on the questions. Each partner had 2 minutes (you can see the hotel staff ringing a bell after the 2 minutes) to talk about key supply chain challenges and achievements. The aim is to get key information out quickly which would ideally make conversation flow for the morning coffee break which followed after. QUESTIONS:1. What are your biggest supply chain challenges?2. What would you like to do better with respect to supply chain practices?3. What would you like to get out of this conference?
