Why Do We Believe LCN Could Help the Diamond Groups?

• When we started the LCN we were looking for

• Validation of the core group

• A standards “reconnaissance” method

• What we found was:

• A real opportunity for communication

• A change management technique

9 ©2008 GS1

• The LCN of Today is a model that

• deploys GSMP to Member Organization User Groups

• aligns the global collaborative dialogue on one central agenda

• provides feedback on SPECIFIC business issues

• “validates” business requirements and work group outputs by weighing them against global feedback

• brings immense opportunity to understand market conditions and implementation concerns

LCN Today: Enabling Better Standards Development

• Today LCN is the “wise owl”

• The additional set of eyes paying attention to draft Standards in development

• Example: • LCN raised the number of interested parties reviewing Change Requests (CR) by:

1 ½ times for CR 07-425 (I & II) 2 times for CR 07-223 2 1/3 times for 07-339

LCN Today

When the Core Business Requirements Group or Work Group asks LCN to perform additional Reconnaissance work on a CR

Today LCN acts as the speeding train as in • CR 07-425 (Data Accuracy Flexible Package Tolerances) when no new

points were uncovered

Or the breaking train as in• 07-339 (GDSN Bulk, Loose, Prepackaged Values) when GS1 Colombia,

Germany and Netherlands had additional recommendations

Keep Going!

You didn’t consider all aspects!
