The "Gemstones" Learning Pack
 
Last year, it was brought to our attention that Craig Lardner, a Member of the CIPSA Steering Group, and his team at George Weston Foods had developed and were using a methodology to ensure that they extracted the best value they possibly could from the educational sessions at the 4th CIPSA Annual Conference.
 
The objectives of the Gemstones Pack are:
 
·         To provide a structured way of achieving the best possible outcome from a team participation to a Conference/learning event.
·         To offer an effective procedure to share, compare and consolidate learnings.
·         A method to keep the information most relevant to our business in a consistent and useable format.
·         By using the Gemstones pack, the team does not only come out of a conference with personal knowledge, but also has a way to absorb the best ideas from their colleagues.
·         Helps find the special few elements in each speaker’s presentation, and then distil from that the 'gems' that can help our procurement team and help our company.
 
George Weston Foods have kindly made the pack available to us to distribute to other organisations attending the 5th CIPSA Annual Conference, thereby enabling their peers to extract even greater value from attendance at the event.
 
The Gemstones pack is a powerpoint presentation with embedded templates.
