2019

At SCMSDC, we know the pace of innovation requires fresh thinking. Doing things differently.

Shaking up expectations. Even radically departing from business as you know it.

But this is “business unusual� and it comes with its own set of challenges.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD CHARLES HARMON

SR. MANAGER, ADMINISTRATION DIVISION AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. As Chair of SCMSDC’s Board of Directors, I’m proud to welcome all of you to MBOD 2019! As one of the must-attend business events in Los Angeles, MBOD brings together more minority businesses, corporations committed to supplier diversity, renowned speakers and sponsors each year than any other single SCMSDC event. And this year is no exception.

Our theme this year is “The New Rules.” It’s an acknowledgement that the pace of innovation and emerging models for delivering value require new thinking. Every day it seems there are new examples of success that make us second guess how business is to be done. We all have to consider doing things differently – in ways that delight the customer and shake up expectations – but that are also a radical departure from business as you we currently know it.

If you are a returning attendee, then you already know the potential to be realized here. And if this is your first time attending, then I’m excited to tell you that you have much to look forward to. Regardless, ahead of you is a day filled with new perspectives and the opportunities to develop your business and yourself, chart a course forward, and create the relationships that will help take you to that destination.

Our theme this year is “The New Rules.” It’s an acknowledgement that the pace of innovation and emerging models for delivering value require new thinking.

We look forward to being a part of that journey for you and your company.

Sincerely,

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT VIRGINIA GOMEZ PRESIDENT & CEO SCMSDC Welcome to MBOD 2019! We are excited to share with you what we have designed to be an unforgettable day.

Our mission at the Southern California Minority Supplier Development Council is to accelerate economic growth by driving opportunities and collaboration between corporations and minority businesses. Everything we do at the Council is grounded in our mission, but at Minority Business Opportunity Day, that effort is expanded exponentially — amplified by the energy and passion of hundreds of participants, all committed to transforming business through unconventional wisdom and uncommon insights.

It’s a time for you to step back from the day to day of your businesses and embrace new ideas and fresh possibilities.

It is time to prepare for the launch of a new venture.

Consider a change in direction or a shift in strategy. Or perhaps, consider breaking the old rules and creating new ones.

Each year, MBOD informs and inspires, educates and engages, bridges and connects. It’s where minority businesses and the companies who are seeking their talents come from across Southern California and the country to learn, create relationships and do business … TOGETHER. Together we will connect, learn, share and nurture new relationships and opportunities.

It’s a time for you to step back from the day to day of your businesses and embrace new ideas and fresh possibilities. It is time to prepare for the launch of a new venture. Consider a change in direction or a shift in strategy. Or perhaps, consider breaking the old rules and creating new ones.

Whatever your objective, you will find its inspiration here in the MBEs you will meet, the speakers you will learn from, the corporations you will talk to during matchmaking, and the exhibitors who will help you move your companies forward.

Thank you for joining us today. And for being a force for inspiration for others.

Sincerely,

PLENARY SESSION SPEAKER Vips Kapadia, Founder and CEO ThinqShift The speed of change in the digital era means that adaptability has become paramount to success. But most of us suck at it and 70% of transformations – personal, organizational or otherwise — will fail! In order to successfully adapt, leaders today must be business leaders, digital leaders, people leaders and change leaders. And you must master the three powers — Content Power, Positional Power and Personal Power. Do you have what it takes?

Vips Kapadia, the founder and CEO of ThinqShift, a US-based leadership services company, will inspire, provoke, entertain and above all, make you reflect inward and consider how personal and organizational success starts with you as a leader and in particular, your own day-to-day behaviors. He’s passionate about adaptable leadership, developing high-performance teams, stretching ideas, transformational and disruptive business change and strengthening engagement, all while being practical enough to make things happen!

Vips brings more than 25 years of experience as an advisor, coach, entrepreneur, and consultant. After graduating from the London School of Economics and a stint with Arthur Andersen/Deloitte in management consulting, in 2003 Vips and his partners founded Qedis, a UK-based management consulting company where, in addition to consulting for FTSE250 companies, Vips was accountable for “everything people” including recruitment, career development, leadership and seeding the culture during a period of growth from three people to 250+. Qedis was sold to North Highland in 2011 and Vips settled in Atlanta, helping the UK integrate with the wider NH business (processes and culture), with responsibility for operational global accountabilities and strategic transformation. His last stop before creating ThinqShift was with Pariveda Solutions, a technology consulting firm focused first on growing people to achieve their fullest potential through learning, coaching and giving to others.

Vips is a generous, positive, self-aware and purposeful storypteller who acts as a powerful catalyst to “shock” leaders into action — to inspire, to innovate and to make an extraordinary impact on the world.

His goal is simple — to help 7 ‘fabulous people’ create extraordinary impact in the their world each year.
