AGENDA: Gustavo Teixeira & Young Wha Lee, EiB)

  1. Geoff Graham, Corteva: Intro to the EiB-Corteva Collaboration, transformation of Breeding during the last 10 years, importance of standard nomenclature and process to allow centralization at all levels for driving this transformation: emphasis on organization evolution.
  2. Tom Sauber, Corteva:  Seed production and distribution. Critical connection with overall strategy. Importance of seed production coordination on a global system. Experimental planning, resource distribution: emphasis on planning and Logistics. 
  1. Jose Luis Hernandez, Corteva: Off Season and accelerated seed production. Managing the demand of the system. Managing a global system. Industrialization of the process: emphasis on execution.
  1. One CGIAR panel discussion: what can we learn from industry experiences on the benefits and risks of centralization for breeding modernization? Panel includes (TBC):
    • Corteva leadership
    • Michael Quinn EiB
    • Young Wha Lee, EiB
    • Sharifah Shahrul, IRRI
  2. Breakout room discussions: Participants meet in smaller groups to discuss lessons learned today, and develop recommendations for One CGIAR leadership
