SVCC Adding Special Interest Groups
Coming out of last week’s Advisory Board Meeting 3 new SIGs were identified and we are looking for people who would like to participate in the groups and potentially chair or co-chair them – so please share this with others on your team. The SIG is:
- Labor / Workforce Optimization – Implications of increasing automation
As you may be aware we have a number of existing SIGs – all of which are open to additional members. They include:
Benchmarking Consortium
Chair: John Adorno – GE Capital / LUC Quinlan student Note: looking for a non-LUC co-chair
This team is focused on building a database of case studies for SVCC member reference on a variety of topics to show how companies have handled a number of challenges.
Fresh Connection Leadership

Explore and optimize the use of “The Fresh Connection” business simulation tool to highlight the cross-functional impact of strategic and tactical decisions and reinforce the importance of organizational alignment.
Monthly Breakfast Speaker Series

This group meets monthly for an informal breakfast from 7-8:15 a.m. in the western suburbs and features a speaker / discussion leader on a selected topic.

SVCC Awards Committee

Women Business Leaders
