“Business as usual is no longer an option.” This memorable<br />

statement was made by a prominent post CEO during the 2011<br />

World <strong>Post</strong>al Business Forum. In fact the postal industry and sector<br />

as we once knew it will never be the same again. The rapidly<br />

changing nature of the traditional mail business, the advent of<br />

the digital economy, the seemingly inexorable growth in package<br />

volumes driven by e-commerce, the navigation of consumers<br />

among multiple channels to communicate and do their business,<br />

and the need to maintain the trusted relationship with customers<br />

are key factors that are changing forever the way postal business is<br />

managed.<br />

Innovation is a critically important option for business survival<br />

and prosperity. But innovation applies as much to traditional<br />

business as it does to digital business. Significant opportunities<br />

exist for example in direct mail, which continues to provide major<br />

volumes and revenues to postal operators. Innovative posts have<br />

moved well beyond simply delivering direct mail to offering<br />

products and services across a range of direct marketing channels.<br />

And let us not forget the opportunities that remain in many<br />

countries for postal financial services.<br />

Join us at this year’s World <strong>Post</strong>al Business Forum to hear and<br />

learn from a wide range of experts and industry commentators<br />

who will tell us how postal-sector companies are mastering their<br />

future to achieve and maintain sustainability.<br />

Day 1 – Tuesday 18 September<br />

09:15 - 12:15 - Special Introductory Session on e-Commerce -<br />

How High is the Summit of the e-Commerce Boom?<br />

e-Commerce is now one of the most important growth areas in postal services. The various<br />

stakeholders of the postal sector, including governments, posts and technology providers, are realising<br />

the opportunities of adapting the physical delivery network of the posts to the needs of the new<br />

e-Commerce customers. Although e-Commerce undoubtedly offers strong growth prospects, including<br />

increased postal traffic and new product development, there are also barriers to success that need to be<br />

overcome. This special introductory forum session will consider and analyse the current e-Commerce<br />

boom from multiple industry and sector perspectives.<br />

09:30 - 12:45 - <strong>Post</strong>al Sector Innovation:<br />

New Strategies for a Sustainable Future<br />

‘Innovate in order to succeed’ is a key imperative for postal sector companies in today’s environment.<br />

The strategic need to innovate in the postal sector is driven by several factors, including maintaining<br />

competitive advantage and the quickly evolving digital space. But it is one thing to recognise and accept<br />

that innovation is a strategic imperative and another to master it successfully. This session will explore<br />

the options for innovation, which could include new products and services, process efficiency, increased<br />

productivity and more effective customer interaction. Many posts are already innovation-orientated,<br />

others may be lacking the confidence to do it or do not have the know-how. An expert panel drawn<br />

from posts and other sector companies and organisations will share their knowledge and debate this<br />

key issue.<br />

14:00 - 17:30 - digital <strong>Post</strong>: Integrating Business into the<br />

digital Future<br />

The development of the digital economy has stimulated the need for posts to add to their product and<br />

service offerings by developing postal digital services. However, the pace, scope and degree of success<br />

differ among countries, regions and within markets. Until recently a comprehensive and accurate body<br />

of information on the types of services offered, and their impact on company fortunes, was missing.<br />

Fortunately this situation is changing and we are now beginning to understand and appreciate the<br />

development of digital postal business, its value and the possible future trends. In this session experts<br />

from various regions of the world will give their perspectives on the trends in development of postal<br />

digital business, inform the audience on what investments have been made, to what effect, and how<br />

posts may integrate their business into the digital future.<br />

OperatiOns and technOlOgy cOnference<br />

Day 1 - Tuesday 18 September<br />

10:00 - 12:00 - mobile data and Connectivity<br />

10:00 - mobile innovation<br />

Daryl Jackson, postal segment leader, Deloitte Consulting, USA<br />

The landscape of mobile technology is evolving quickly: posts must develop a forward-thinking mobile strategy to<br />

align their digital and physical services. This presentation will discuss how to harness the power of technology by<br />

focusing on customer needs and offering innovative solutions.<br />

10:20 - New momentum in CEP IT: hyperconnection, smartphones and cloud computing<br />

Dr Michael Linke, chief architect Mail/Logistics, T-Systems International, Germany<br />

Improved technical IT possibilities, increased smartphone and cloud usage, important momentum on major tradelanes<br />

and core socioeconomic developments have led to a global, multi-connected so-called hyperconnected<br />

market, of people, goods, ideas and techniques. This situation results in higher demands and a higher customer<br />

expectation on a B2B and B2C level and therefore for enhanced challenges and goals for IT organisations in the<br />

CEP market. Although there are proven tools and techniques to achieve these goals, the specific dimensions of the<br />

hyperconnection should be properly analysed and set in scope of the CEP organisations’ overall goals.<br />

10:40 - unlocking the value of data from first to last mile<br />

Mark Davis, EMEA industry manager, Honeywell, UK<br />

How data collected in the postal chain can provide opportunities. Information collected, for example at post office<br />

counters, in package flows and recipient preferences, means that postal operators retain huge volumes of data. How<br />

can this data be used to improve productivity and open up new revenue streams?<br />

11:00 - mobile postman: utilise existing staff to generate new revenue sources<br />

Daniel Dombach, director EMEA industry solutions group, Motorola Solutions Germany, Germany<br />

The postal and courier industries are changing quickly due to the decline in physical mail and increase in internet<br />

shopping. Improved efficiency is no longer the goal: new ways to utilise existing staff and infrastructure to generate<br />

new sources of revenue is the name of the game. To survive, every postal organisation needs to automate and<br />

have all relevant data in digital form. Mobile payment is a hot issue; postal employees are reliable and are on every<br />

doorstep, every day. The sensor network offers a new direction for revenue generation. These sensors utilise postal<br />

fleets for sensing air quality, cellular coverage, road conditions, etc.<br />

11:20 - Innovation: it’s not easy but it can be rewarding<br />

Jeff Sibio, director, industry marketing, Intermec, UK<br />

True innovation is not easy. In fact it is exceptionally difficult – especially for large, well-established organisations.<br />

But applying innovative solutions to your business processes, such as location-based decisions and data extraction<br />

validation, can deliver business differentiation and game-changing profitable results, separating your solutions and<br />

service from your competitors.<br />

11:40 - 12:00 Q&A<br />

09:30 - 12:45 - moving mail and Logistics<br />

Identifying the Key Challenges and Issues<br />

09:30 - moving mail and logistics<br />

Marten Buettner, head of global mail, LKE Group, Germany<br />

The presentation will focus on vehicles, scooters and everything related to logistics, including green initiatives.<br />

Experiences, applications and Innovation<br />

09:50 - The postal service’s successful transformation through predictive analytics: control<br />

dynamic complexity<br />

Dr Nabil AbuElAta, president - CEO, Accretive Technologies Inc, USA<br />

Alain Roset, director of transformation strategy, La <strong>Post</strong>e, France<br />

The postal service’s strategic transformation faces win or die outcomes. Experienced studies showed that predictive<br />

analytic methodologies lead the right transformation trajectories that align the cost to the service quality that will<br />

be delivered for a particular volume. A new paradigm that mixes the traditional services with modern ones and<br />

benefits from a variety of new delivery, telecommunication and presentation modes and mechanisms, will be<br />

discussed. Successful experiences in La <strong>Post</strong>e as well as in other industries will be presented. Challenges facing the<br />

transformation will be discussed and how powerful remediation is available to prepare for successful planning and<br />

anticipated efficient implementations.


10:05 - Where the black swan bites<br />

Dr Eva Savelsberg, vice president Logistics Division, Inform GmbH, Germany<br />

During normal peak hours the management of a distribution centre is invariably a juggling act. But imagine a ‘black<br />

swan’ event drastically changing conditions and revealing the neglected yard as the weakest link: surrounding<br />

the sorting complex, this crucial area turns out to be a significant risk factor for the whole supply chain of parcel<br />

management. This presentation will show postal operators how to turn their ‘black swan’ white: intelligent yard<br />

management enables them to meet their clients’ requirements even in the most adverse conditions.<br />

10:20 - Supply chain and yield management: linking mailers and postal operators electronically<br />

Enno Ebels, managing director Data Quality Solutions, Neopost, France<br />

Optimising a postal supply chain is the same as for any supply chain: advanced information on what will enter the<br />

postal sorting centres is key to making operational decisions around sorting-centre yield management. This is a<br />

presentation of case studies on electronic interchange between mailers and postal operators, allowing advanced<br />

planning and optimising investment in sorting-centre staff and equipment, ensuring operators can confront the<br />

challenges around effecting a return on the resources deployed. It will also cover extension of revenue and quality<br />

controls from creation of mailpieces to the last mile delivery, creating an end-to-end and seamless experience for<br />

postal operators and their customers.<br />

10:35 - Fully automatic trailer unloading of loose loaded parcels<br />

Jasper Van den Driest, managing director, Ancra Systems BV, Netherlands<br />

Good news for postal services and parcel couriers who have to take into account strict ergonomic regulations in<br />

addition to speed and reliability: Netherlands-based Ancra Systems has designed, produced and implemented a<br />

fully automatic system for unloading trailers with loose loaded parcels to increase transport efficiency between<br />

sorting centres. This solution is unique in the world and has been successfully implemented at La <strong>Post</strong>e and the<br />

Danish <strong>Post</strong>, both leading European postal operators. The system automatically transports the packages from the<br />

trailer to the sorting machines. It can handle up to 6,000 packages per hour.<br />

10:50 - 11:00 Q&A<br />

11:00 - 11:20 Break<br />

11:20 - mail monitor: the customer’s perspective on quality of service<br />

Niels Delater, CEO, Spectos GmbH, Germany<br />

Quality of service is a major differentiator in times of competition and diversification of products and services in the<br />

postal industry. As the customer is recognised more and more to be the driver behind quality of service existing<br />

concepts of end-to-end quality, figures need to be reconsidered. Rethinking monitoring by going beyond J+1 transit<br />

times is the core of the Mail Monitor concept: web-based services and social media components to measure quality<br />

of service from a customer perspective and improve services regarding the voice of the customer. The presentation<br />

will demonstrate the approach through case studies.<br />

11:35 - Streamline your end-to-end postal operations with real-time information<br />

Mike Maris, global lead, Warehouse, Transportation & Logistics, Motorola Solutions, UK<br />

In postal operations it’s all about moving items through the delivery chain as quickly and accurately as possible,<br />

reducing delivery costs while decreasing delivery times. But nearly everyone in your operation is on the move,<br />

disconnected from information in business systems, forced to deal with manual paper-based procedures that insert<br />

time and opportunity for errors. Learn how silos of information are eliminated from operations, allowing workers<br />

loading/unloading in sortation centres, and footwalkers and drivers who spend the day delivering letters and<br />

packages, to provide not only letters and packages but, just as important, end-to-end, real-time communication.<br />

11:50 - Automatic planning and optimisation solutions for the postal industry<br />

Martijn Schimmer, sales manager, Transvision, Denmark<br />

Handling collection, transportation and distribution of mail is a highly demanding task, and each type of transport<br />

has its own challenges. The postal industry shows considerable potential for improving efficiency and achieving<br />

savings. To assist postal companies in obtaining this, Transvision has developed Transvision <strong>Post</strong>al Planner, which<br />

decreases planning time drastically, enhances users’ overview of the transport and assists companies in improving<br />

their customer service and route quality. The system facilitates major cost savings and impressive CO 2 emission<br />

reductions in mail transport operations. Improve your transport efficiency and achieve savings of 15% on your<br />

transport.<br />

12:05 - Enabling solutions for safe restructuring of secured mail flows<br />

Henrik L. Egestad, sales director, <strong>Post</strong>al Business Development, Lyngsoe Systems AS, Denmark<br />

A large number of posts are currently considering innovative ideas to restructure their secured mailflows. Enabling<br />

technologies are now available and a number of solutions are implemented by leading postal services. The major<br />

drivers have been cost savings and increased security by recording of all handover processes, but added bonuses<br />

are increased logistic transparency and performance. The presentation will focus on applied technology and<br />

implemented solutions, and further touch upon future applications for the posts.<br />

12:20 - Bring your shipment to life<br />

Ruud Riem-Vis, CTO, Jiiva, Switzerland<br />

Have you ever encountered problems with the current track-and-trace services? If you have, you will certainly<br />

understand why customers are always asking for more transparency, more frequent updates and proactive<br />

notifications. Various tracking technologies are appearing on the market, but few meet the specific exigencies of the<br />

postal market. In this presentation we will show you the different technical alternatives, and how you can bring your<br />

shipment to life.<br />

12:35 - 12:45 Q&A<br />

12:15 - 13:00 - e-Commerce Innovation Panel<br />

12:15 - The new trend: Consumer relevancy (dSr) – The transformation of eCommerce<br />

Dirk Palder, member of the global postal leadership team, Capgemini<br />

Ten years ago, the Capgemini Group launched Consumer Relevancy. Since then the retail and consumer product<br />

industry has seen significant changes. Consumers are now armed with technology. Capgemini therefore launched<br />

the Digital Shopper’s Relevancy (DSR). Key findings of the DSR report on digital shoppers across developing and<br />

mature markets show the challenges of e-tailers in this new environment. The new shoppers expect a seamless<br />

integration across online, social media, mobile and physical stores. Is eCommerce still a field of play for <strong>Post</strong>al<br />

Services 3.0?<br />

12:30 - E-commerce mailing and shipping system designed exclusively for postal operators<br />

Amine Khechfe, co-founder and general manager, Dymo Endicia, USA<br />

Dymo Endicia will demonstrate the benefit of deploying the right technology platforms for e-commerce mailing<br />

and shipping systems that incorporate a high level of security, functionality and scalability. The Dymo Endicia<br />

solution has delivered consistent 30% growth and has surpassed US$1 billion in printed annual postage. The system<br />

has been developed and perfected to meet the stringent rules and processes required by postal operators. Dymo<br />

Endicia will show how the right system not only prevents fraud but also enables postal operators to expand business<br />

reach into multiple market segments, support postal eco-systems and develop distribution channels for postal<br />

services.<br />

12:45 - easyPack World: building a global network of parcel terminals<br />

Rafal Brzoska, CEO, In<strong>Post</strong>, Poland<br />

The presentation will examine the reasons why drop boxes are finally gaining momentum. Using a case study<br />

from Poland, it will outline why cooperation with e-retailers is the way to boost e-commerce, give details of a<br />

European project to install 16,000 machines by 2014, and explain how to build your own network without any huge<br />

investment.<br />

Day 2 - Wednesday 19 September<br />

09:30 - 17:00 - Handling mail and Parcels Efficiently<br />

Challenge<br />

09:30 - The adaptable post<br />

Dr Pierre Kacha, director, <strong>Post</strong>al Practice, Decision/Analysis Partners, USA<br />

<strong>Post</strong>s have excelled at developing and applying standardised processes to push mail to its destination. Today,<br />

information and intelligence enable posts to manage their networks in a dynamic fashion to dramatically reduce<br />

costs while meeting service standards. The presentation identifies four distinct areas where posts can develop an<br />

adaptable and dynamic approach to modern operations management.<br />

Special focus on revenue protection in the mailstream<br />

09:50 - revenue protection: easy money<br />

Karin Vierwind, director Order to Cash, <strong>Post</strong>NL, Netherlands<br />

From the end of this year, 18 new culling-facing-cancelling machines (CFCs) will enable <strong>Post</strong>NL to intercept even<br />

more underfranked mail items. Cautious estimates suggest that from 2013 we will be able to trace at least twice as<br />

much underfranked mail, and then impose the necessary charges. <strong>Post</strong>NL will present the business case as well as<br />

the solution.<br />

10:05 - Protect your revenue streams: how to make it happen<br />

Johan van Duijne, business development manager <strong>Post</strong>al Solutions, Neopost, Netherlands<br />

Revenue protection is increasingly taking a prominent place on every post’s agenda. However, the road to get there<br />

often appears to be long and winding. ‘How do I make it happen today?’ is the question. In a short presentation,<br />

Neopost will demonstrate how major results can often be achieved without a major investment in time, money or<br />

resources. The key is to focus on quick wins. Today, many of these opportunities can be found in the last 10-20% of<br />

manual handling processes, activities that have often been off radar to postal operators.


10:20 - mission possible! <strong>Post</strong>al revenue recovery with military precision<br />

Mark Andrew Ryder, head of Marketing, Prime Vision, UK<br />

The British Forces <strong>Post</strong> Office (BFPO) challenged the postal industry by proposing a parcel sorting solution for its<br />

new global sort centre in west London. As a postal organisation BFPO has one of the highest percentages of handwritten<br />

mail – 60%+ – and also supports different address formats including standard UK postal, military operation<br />

code names and BFPO addresses. This presentation is a case study of the solution (ParcelMatch), including how the<br />

system enables revenue recovery savings of £1 million per annum.<br />

10:35 - Franking services: basic functionality for success<br />

Markus Erling, technical director, CodX Software AG, Switzerland<br />

National authorities are forced to defend their market share. Franking is one way to do so. Franking includes the<br />

‘billing after service’ aspect and requires databases covering master data such as customer and individual contract<br />

data, pricing models, etc. Supporting systems such as CodX <strong>Post</strong>Office offer this item treatment and derive all other<br />

processes from a huge data collection of all detailed item properties. Quality and efficiency are raised dramatically:<br />

proof of billing for each item; ability to track also for regular items; cost-efficient treatment of return mail;<br />

professional complaint management; from cheapest direct mail to valuable registered mail.<br />

11:20 - Automated postal technology and system for the future post office<br />

Heechul Bae, senior research engineer, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Korea<br />

The market environment in the postal business has been rapidly changed to the competitive situation. Automated<br />

postal systems are used to create operating cost savings due to the reduced mail volume. Moreover, it should be<br />

a future target system for satisfying the needs of smart customers. Under the smart environment, an automated<br />

postal system for the future post office has been designed. The conceptual system can be classified into three<br />

parts: process design, automation technology, and automation corner and post office. In particular, automation<br />

technologies are applied to design the proposed system for eliminating inefficiencies and inaccuracies in the future<br />

post office.<br />

11:35 - The Saudi <strong>Post</strong> experience of building up a measurement system<br />

Ahmad Alanazi, general supervisor of Internal Audit, Risk Management, Followup, Control and Quality<br />

Management, Saudi <strong>Post</strong>, Saudi Arabia<br />

The presentation will introduce KPI’s. It will then move on the explain how we identify the main measuring area<br />

11:50 - Increased network efficiency through advanced identification and volume measurement<br />

systems<br />

Amadeus Kurz, Hermes Logistik Gruppe Deutschland, Germany<br />

Martin Voss, strategic industry manager, Sick AG, Germany<br />

While the volumes of shipments are steadily increasing in CEP industries, the object sizes, shapes and materials vary<br />

on an ever-growing scale. Customers expect maximum flexibility from their service operator, which in turn creates<br />

new challenges for systems and processes. With the implementation of highly efficient identification and volume<br />

measurement systems from Sick – designed specifically to meet Hermes requirements and in conjunction with a<br />

new sorting system – Hermes significantly improved the efficiency and transparency of its processes and delivery<br />

network. Resulting benefits: shorter delivery times, improved track-and-trace capabilities and optimised loading<br />

13:45 - Challenges of processing parcels for mail service businesses<br />

Gerard Fenerty Jr, president & CEO, ID Mail Systems Inc, USA<br />

The presentation will cover the challenges that commercial mail service businesses face as mail volumes decline<br />

and they look to enter the packet/parcel processing business. Sub-topics will include types of customers/materials,<br />

changes needed for internal operations (space/automation/technology), customs, transportation, and any others<br />

factors that are different from traditional mail processing.<br />

14:00 - The new reliant mid-range sorter system<br />

Stefan Berndt, product manager Sortation, Pitney Bowes, Germany<br />

The Reliant Sorter will bring automation and full integrity to three core market segments: incoming mail, outgoing<br />

mail and the processing of international mail. It is ideally positioned to enable small- and mid-volume mailers<br />

with a typical daily volume of up to 35,000 items per day to react quickly to the new opportunities presented by<br />

a deregulated European postal market. Modular in design, the Reliant sorter can be configured to suit a variety of<br />

environments and to handle greater volume as business needs develop. The system can process up to 18,000 letters<br />

per hour.<br />

14:15 - A simple way of increasing item handling flexibility and capacity<br />

Bjarne Johansen, systems engineer, Crisplant - Beumer Group, Denmark<br />

<strong>Post</strong>al and courier services must handle increasing and variable volumes, placing higher demands on their<br />

automatic sorting systems. Commercial and economic pressures, however, dictate the need to extend the life<br />

of systems already in place, so new technology needs to be applied to existing solutions to upgrade flexibility<br />

and performance. Crisplant has doubled the capacity of existing sorters, while extending flexibility, with the<br />

LS-4000flexbelt sorter, a new two-belt configuration that allows the sorter to carry two items side by side on the<br />

same belt. This presentation uses the LS-4000flexbelt as an example of how to achieve improvements with existing<br />

infrastructure.<br />

14:30 - The sorting centre without staff<br />

Martijn E. van der Lande, market director Parcel & <strong>Post</strong>al, Vanderlande Industries, Netherlands<br />

15:45 - Enable new dimensions with latest identification technologies<br />

Martin Voss, strategic industry manager, Sick AG, Germany<br />

The capabilities of the latest identification technologies go far beyond pure detection of codes. The efficiencies of<br />

CEP processes and networks can be greatly improved with the analysis of all potential information about the objects<br />

handled, such as object images, profile information, volume and weight, etc. This presentation will highlight how all<br />

information is summarised in one data mining and collection platform, allowing CEP service providers to generate<br />

new dimensions of services for their customers.

Mikko Mertjärvi, managing director, Optiscan Group, Finland<br />

Not all trends (automation) are suitable for everyone; manual work can deliver benefits with far smaller capital<br />

costs and risks. Quality, efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness can be improved through technology, but best<br />

results can be achieved by intelligent combination of human labour and automation. Human labour is still the<br />

best production tool that scales and adapts as needed. Systems can be used to enable efficiency and high-quality<br />

output from a much wider worker potential than was traditionally possible. Semi-automated systems require few or<br />

no specialist technical skills to maintain, and enable manual operations at system failure. Technology can’t solve all<br />

problems.<br />

Jacob Johnsen, CEO, Ipostes, Denmark<br />

After serving the public with letter delivery for centuries, posts are now delivering using electronic media, like<br />

e-mails, SMS, internet, etc. wherever the public has communication needs. Is this divergence of the business or<br />

an innovative evolution of the postal role? From collection of mail to the delivery, postal operators must think<br />

about what their present role is and what the future role should be. Why do people turn to the post for their<br />

communication needs? What is the strength of a global network, of the legal framework to protect messaging,<br />

society’s trust in honesty and reliability?<br />

10:30 - Is your digital business successfully growing at 20% per quarter?<br />

Zafar Khan, chairman & chief executive officer, R<strong>Post</strong> Communications, USA<br />

How can a business grow substantially and yet focus on what it is really good at? The electronic product<br />

marketplace evolves quickly in technology and diversity, and to be successful one must continuously innovate and<br />

update. Success may also require being really good at one thing. So how in the digital space can business manage<br />

fast change and diversity versus focus? The presentation will share how R<strong>Post</strong> resolved this conundrum by opening<br />

its unique technology platform to the world.<br />

10:50 - Complexity of converting unstructured mail into industrial process<br />

Didier Rouillard, business development manager, GMC Software Technology, Switzerland<br />

It is estimated that more than 20% of business paper mail is still considered unstructured, meaning edited on<br />

desktop platforms, printed and mailed manually with higher risk to deliverability. An organisation that wants to bring<br />

this mail volume into its mainstream industrial mail process, either internal or external, faces technical challenges<br />

and human resistance to change. The scope of this paper is to review these two barriers and explore paths to<br />

solve these issues for large organisations. Benefits are better deliverability of mail, better usage of staff and postage<br />

José Rufino, director, CTT - Correios de Portugal SA, Portugal<br />

Geomail is an innovative approach to sustain the strategy of CTT’s postal business and leverage new opportunities.<br />

The companhy implemented a new, mobile GIS component, with the aim of ensuring a massive digital field survey<br />

to capture all addresses in Portugal. One of the main assets of this project is the use of CTT’s letter carriers and<br />

their knowledge of the geographic territory in postal terms. With this action CTT was able to obtain a national<br />

georeferenced, qualified address database to better support operational and business postal core activities and<br />

obtain an increased revenue stream based on geographic products and services (geomarketing and routing).<br />

Wilfried Hahn, director Product Management, Pitney Bowes, Germany<br />

The cross-national database allows alternative posts to share information about their logistical delivery data. This<br />

includes delivery routes as well as last mile address data. The benefit is that the mail only needs to be registered<br />

once, even if a second service provider has to deliver it. All final routing information is provided in a barcode and in a<br />

database that will be shared between the partners. This is a huge benefit for alternative posts.<br />

16:05 - Choosing the right unaddressed mail business model to meet the challenges of tomorrow<br />

Neale Horstead, international business development manager, Duplo International Ltd, UK<br />

Unaddressed mail can provide a vital revenue stream for posts wishing to support their last mile delivery<br />

infrastructure against a backdrop of declining addressed mail volumes. However, posts need to find the right<br />

balance between the quality of service advertisers want and are willing to pay for, compared with the return on<br />

investment and the subsequent impact on a postman’s time spent on his walk. The choice of business model will<br />

depend on a number of factors, but is key to providing a service that is competitive, profitable and flexible enough<br />

to take account of changing market conditions.<br />

Francis Demers, project director, GIRO Inc, Canada<br />

Project management using an agile approach can lead to faster implementation and early benefits for organisations<br />

ZONE<br />

WHILE IN BRUSSELS<br />

Atomium<br />

The Atomium was the main pavilion<br />

and icon of the World Fair of Brussels<br />

(1958). A seminal totem in the Brussels<br />

skyline; neither tower, nor pyramid,<br />

a little bit cubic, a little bit spherical,<br />

halfway between sculpture and<br />

architecture, a relic of the past with a<br />

determinedly futuristic look, museum<br />

and exhibition centre. The Atomium is,<br />

at once, an object, a place, a space, a<br />

Utopia and the only symbol of its kind<br />

in the world, which eludes any kind of<br />

classification.<br />

Visit: www.atomium.be<br />

City Hall of Brussels<br />

Brussels Town Hall is one of Belgium’s finest civic buildings,<br />

not only because of the numerous sculptures adorning its<br />

walls, but also because of its perfect proportions and the<br />

incomparable beauty of its tower, the spire of which is topped<br />

by the archangel Saint-Michael. Brussels laid the foundation<br />

stone of the magnificent Gothic edifice in the spring of 1402.<br />

In 1695, when the city was bombarded by Marshal de Villeroy,<br />

the Town Hall was destroyed by fire. Its reception rooms<br />

and aldermen’s offices contain fine Brussels tapestries from<br />

the 16 th , 17 th and 18 th centuries, sumptuous Gothic wooden<br />

panelling,the insignia of ancient guilds, and paintings from<br />

the collections at the Town Hall Museum.
