TICKET OF THE WEEK
By Cassandre Jacquin, Communication Officer France Supply Chain
You have the floor!
Created in the continuity of the beautiful dynamics of 2021, the Letter of France Supply Chain comes to life thanks to the words of our members in the section "the post of the week". Seven months that you participate in its creation by sharing with us a reflection, an experience or a personal aspiration. Representing the 50 years of the association, the transparency of the messages and the richness of the points of view created the value of the letter. With half of the year gone and the summer holidays coming, France Supply Chain announces the beginning of the summer break of its letter.
So get your pens and pencils ready! Take advantage of the season to enjoy writing your point of view so that it is highlighted in the letters of the new school year. In order to help you write your post, there are six tips to keep in mind.
- Take a topical issue
You are in the front line to share meaningful experiences. For example, at the beginning of January, Éric Le Mignon, General Manager Supply Chain Intermarché explained the role of the Supply Chain and the mobilisation of his teams in the distribution of the Covid self-tests. More recently, Ali Berrada, President of the Logismed trade fair, told how Morocco has made logistics and the Supply Chain an essential lever for its competitiveness. You can also be able to detect and decipher trends: the European taxonomy, as Luca Silipo did. And of course you can put the spotlight on the CSP initiatives in which you are involved , like Xavier Derycke, VP Supply Chain Transformation Rexel Europe, on the 2022 guide to higher education to enhance the value of Supply Chain functions produced by Lab RH.
- Choose one key message and one only
Once you have chosen your theme, put forward the idea you want to defend. In order not to get lost, it is important to have a common thread allowing you to select the information that supports your main idea.
- Be concrete
Overly conceptual discourse will scare the reader away, as will generalities. Illustrate what you say with examples, figures, proof of what you say.
- Speak clearly
Avoid technical jargon and buzzwords, be precise and unambiguous.
- Keep it short
Avoid long sentences that will lose your readers. "Subject + verb + complement" is the most effective structure.
- Finish with a flourish
Finally, broaden the debate on the future, give some perspectives or, why not, add a humorous twist, a punchline to end on a high note!
Once written, send us your editorial to cassandre@francesupplychain.org. If you have any doubts or need advice, we will be there to help you.
Get started, invite your employees to participate, the Letter from France Supply Chain is waiting for you!
HIGHLIGHTS
Logistics real estate resists despite an uncertain context
Real estate is often a relevant indicator for measuring the health of a sector of activity. However, if we refer to the latest figures published last week by the main brokers, the dynamism that logistics real estate has been experiencing for several years is maintained at its highest level despite an uncertain economic and geopolitical context. According to Olivier Durif, Director of SCLS Transaction France at JLL, " the volume of take-up remains at a high level, above the 500,000 sqm threshold. Retail and e-commerce giants are still actively and increasingly participating in the high level of warehouse take-up in France. Over a rolling 12 month period, i.e. from Q3 2021 toQ2 2022, demand has approached the 4 million sqm threshold. However, if demand remains active, the macro-economic climate could, in the long term, slow down speculative investments: "the rise in bank interest rates, combined with the strong uncertainties weighing on the evolution of consumption, should weaken (...) the segment of warehouses initiated in white", foresees, for his part, Didier Terrier, managing director of Arthur Loyd Logistique. This is a view that the broker is quick to qualify, considering in particular that the pressure on land is in favour of solutions that allow a warehouse to be delivered within a short timeframe. The same analysis is made by CBRE, which believes that liquidity remains abundant and that products with secure, long-term rental flows will always be sought after .François-Régis de Causans, Investment Director at I&L concludes: "the outlook for thesecond half of the year nevertheless promises to be full of opportunities for those wishing to take advantage of the changes underway in the supply chain. This optimism is widely shared by René Jeannenot, Director of the Industrial division of BNP Paribas Real Estate Transaction France, who states: " Although the multiple waves of the health crisis, the start of the war in Ukraine and the sharp rise in construction costs are disrupting users and their supply chains, we remain confident about the coming quarters, as the level of demand currently recorded by our teams remains strong . So let's be confident and go on holiday reassured! Because as the old saying goes: "When the building goes...everything goes"!
