Introduction: Why LCN?

• Before LCN, access to GSMP was unequal

• Language barriers • Geography/Time Zone barriers • Culture/MO perspective neglected• Local Requirements/Impediments remained unknown• Member Organizations could not keep up…could not

communicate uniformly

• LCN allows its members to– “Think Globally, Act Locally!”

How LCN Provides Value to an MO

• Advantages from an MO perspective

• More integration of national working groups in GSMP process

• Avoiding the disconnect between GSMP and national work

• Bringing users, who are interested, but do not have time & travel resources

engagement on national, European and global level is a challenge

• More credibility for GSMP

• GS1 Germany serving as “service provider” for user companies

How LCN Provides Value to an MO

How LCN Provides Value to an MO

• Success Factors• Involvement of the LCN members into the GSMP work:

Not only feedback-questions, also updates and background information on current developments

Feedback from BRGs and integration of LCN position into BRG work

Supporting Change Requests and Requirements from our community

• Having a real voice within the process, otherwise LCN members will loose interest and credibility of GSMP will decrease

• GSMP LCN must be a lively process!Meaning information, feedback from BRG discussion, feedback questions etc.
