Scope and role of workstreams ECR Europe agreed focus areas: 1. Consumer focus (OSA, CRM,…) 2. Standards (Data sync, RFID,...) 3. Professional relationships (shrinkage, CPFR,…) Workstreams function as a bridge between: ECR Europe Board, GCI, Advisory Group, European and National Initiatives We co-ordinate: Past, Current and Future projects to ensure we tackle agreed focus areas

Project knowledge base 22 National Initiatives 24 completed projects, 42 ongoing ECR Europe initiatives : 11 completed projects, 5 ongoing

Scope and role of workstreams Develop and transfer (teach & implement) best practice ECR and success stories across Europe Launch, coach, co-ordinate, support ECR projects and their implementation to ensure alignment and consistency at European & national level (if topic of European relevance) and collaboration between retailers and suppliers Develop and recommend KPIs for implementation (+ endorse business KPIs recommended by projects)

Objectives & deliverables of workstreams Project Development –Drives innovation in new ECR improvement concepts and processes –Leverages work undertaken at national level to European scale, if appropriate –Initiates, governs and tracks European and national projects –Checks deliverables of projects and KPIs against objectives of ECR Europe –Provides joint vision to all projects at European & national level and ensures coherence of approach –Co-Chairs : Rita Marzian, Metro Luc Demeulnenaere, P&G Co-ordinator : Katrin Recke, AIM

Objectives & deliverables of workstreams Learning –Progressive Management Programme (PMP): Furthers leadership in collaborative business practices by small groups of high-potential junior & middle managers –General Learning Programme (GLP): Effects a broad-scale change in collaborative management behaviour across our industry (‘massification’) –The Quest for New Knowledge: Develops new thinking and research on collaborative business management (Academic Partership role) Co-Chairs : retailer, tbc Bob Wilkinson, Coke Co-ordinator : Bernard Karli, ECR

Makes recommendations to tackle non-implementation –Validates advantages of ECR co-operation (‘the business case for ECR’) vs resource levels reqd Co-Chairs : retailer, tbc Vicki Belcher, Gillette Co-ordinator : Marianne Dehousse, AIM

Example: Alignment of EU project launch, execution & implementation Project launch –Potential European project topic identified and proposed by Nationals. Agreed in principle by ECR Board & Board sponsor designated –Project brief drafted and submitted to Advisory Group for approval –Call for nominations sent to ECR community Project execution –Project ideally organised around Development, Learning, Implementation (+ Conference and Communication) - CRM, OSA and shrinkage already organising work accordingly Project implementation –EU Project team to agree KPI’s, measure results and report on implementation and national roll-out
