In my last post I dealt with the long-standing issue of inventory optimisation and some of the reasons that many organisations are still struggling with it. If it was just left to a technical challenge, optimising an organisation’s inventory, whilst never straight forward, would at least be doable to an extent. However, we are dealing with people in organisations; often many people and each person has an opinion, an ego and a career to protect and progress.

Today in many executive boardrooms, the conversation often centers on how to improve the overall customer experience. Why? Simply put, it’s a lot more expensive to get a new customer than it is to keep one. And if you produce multiple products, selling into your existing customer base is far easier than making that first sale to a new customer. So how do you economically keep and grow existing customers?

“Are you getting ready for bed?”. It’s a question I get almost every night from my wife. She’s usually already in bed, half asleep under the covers reading a book, and I am usually still dressed in my day clothes, putzing around in the study, nowhere near ready for bed.

On many nights, when I finally make it to the bedroom, the lights are already off and I have to move about quietly in the darkness, like a thief looking for pajamas and my toothbrush.

Without having full knowledge and control over many of these elements, you can only trust that everyone involved will come through – on time and as promised.

An article in Fleet Owner caught my eye this week: "New Report Identifies Major Highway Choke Points and Their Costs.". I downloaded the report from the American Highway Users Association. It had a catchy subtitle: "America's 50 Worst Bottlenecks." The 64-page report is worth reading, and it has a lot of great detail about the evils of congestion, including a lot of complicated math, a list of those 50 bottlenecks, the average length of each traffic jam in miles, plus a section about highways th
