2006 Corporate Seminar Workshop III: MEETING CUSTOMERS NEEDS March 3, 2006 Singapore Facilitated by: Koay Peng Yen Jim McAdam Eng AIk Meng Ted Fordney
Workshop III Objectives “Shippers today want to control inventory costs and minimize the risk of global trade. To that end, they want transportation providers who can deliver speed, reliability and flexibility. They can get that from a company with a mastery of logistics services – origin, destination, warehouse management, freight forwarding – as well as control of its own transportation assets.“(*) • Workshop Objective: • To develop customer-focused ideas that can be implemented within the next 90 days to advance the Corporate Strategy – Differentiated Liner, Focused Logistics. How do we meet customer needs? • There will be three sub-topics to be explored by three teams: • Team Eagle Red: Identify Customer Segments & Sales Channels • What customer segments? What customer portfolio do we build? What Sales Channels? • Team Eagle White: What Do Customers Need? • Is there just one service template? What are the gaps? How do we fill in? • Team Eagle Blue: Creating New Customer Products to Differentiate APL • What "products" do we launch to differentiate? * Excerpt from an article drafted by Mike Zampa
Prioritising Workshop Ideas • Notes: • Let’s capture All ideas. Prioritise them later. • “Impact” refers to positive impact to Company, e.g. winning customers, enhancing service, increasing exit barrier, or improving cost efficiency. • “Speed” refers to how soon we can execute the idea. Suggest “High Speed” to refer to <90 days. • Obviously, this is to assist us prioritise the High-High segment. • Note that “all” ideas will likely to end up in the High-High segment initially. We will then need to re-segment within that segment to find the “Highest-Highest” sub-segment! High Impact Low Impact Low High Speed to Implementation
