Review: Leonardo and Steve

This rather unassuming book (available from Amazon as a “Kindle Single”) educates both the historian and the business person.  The subtitle, “The Young Genius who Beat Apple to Market by 800 Years,” sets the stage with the reader simply left with “Huh?”  Perhaps one is not surprised to think that there might be a relationship between DaVinci and Steve Jobs, but that Leonardo isn’t the subject of the book!

Voice of VICS: Interview with Jim Tompkins, CEO of Tompkins International

Body: 

In this episode of the Voice of VICS Dr Steve Brady talks with Jim Tompkins, CEO of Tompkins International, about "Demand Driven Supply Chains."  Jim discusses not only how to know what the actual demand is, but why it is useful to tie your supply chain to that demand, and how that approach can truly drive efficiencies throughout the supply chain.  And don't forget, when you are talking about this level of detail, there must be some collaboration going on as well--so listen for CPFR to make it's way in!

Social Networks and Listening to Customers

While driving last night my wife started reading to me the "virtual town hall" she was reading in Twitter.  Every Wednesday night the Diabetes Social Media Advocacy group holds an online discussion through twitter using the hasthtag #DSMA.  Last night they asked a series of questions among them were three questions asking what diabetics would like to see their meters and cell phones doing to support their needs.  There were some great comments in there.

Small Businesses need Supply Chain Management too!

I spent a lot of time lately consulting with small businesses. I love the passion, energy and commitment of small business owners. Unfortunately, the commitment required to make the business succeed often places limits on the time available to do some of the basics required for success.
Over the next few months I will be working on a series of short books geared towards helping small business owners understand in clear terms ways that they can manage their supply chain and logistics processes. The first category I will be tackling will be inventory management.
