Change initiatives are time-consuming and costly, significantly impacting an industry’s drive toward success. Since the reality is that change is unavoidable, industries need to resolve how to successfully adapt and sustain change. All change in industries is delivered through activities, and successful industries lead change by managing their activities effectively. To successfully implement maritime change, the industry need women managers with the skills to drive and navigate change while ensuring that those changes are strategically aligned to business goals. The success or failure of a change initiative is not just about initiating, planning, monitoring, executing and evaluating the activity that will drive the change. It also involves preparing the maritime sector for transformation, ensuring stakeholder buy-in, and engaging executive sponsors to champion and support the change before, during and after its implementation. International maritime transport, like other economic sectors, faces a dual challenge in respect of change in operations. Given the vital importance of international maritime transport for global trade, meeting the change challenge is imperative. With 80% of the volume of world trade carried by sea, international shipping and ports provide crucial linkages in global supply chains and are essential for the ability of all countries, including those that are landlocked, to access global markets. Efficient ports and terminals are vital to global trade and it is crucial these links in the supply chain deliver constantly improving performance. To remain competitive, attract and retain users and increase profits, female port and terminal managers must be able to identify which processes need improved performance across the operation. No improvement can take place without valid, accurate data showing planners where the industry is now, where inefficiencies and blockages exist and what steps can be taken to move the enterprise forward. By comparing actual outcomes with targets, female port and terminal operators and users can identify performance strengths and weaknesses, allowing process improvements to be introduced in a timely, logical and efficient manner. In view of the above this conference will discuss women involvement in the business base underlying port operations, intense global competition and international logistics chain including ports.
