The first question that came to my mind is, “what exactly is a smart city?”. When I did research on smart cities, I came to the conclusion that there is no universally accepted definition of it either. It means different things to different people and is often used in political contexts with confusing agendas. Our goal for this blog is not to analyze the evolution of smart cities.

There has been a lot of news about driverless cars, and at the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit there was also some news about “driverless” supply chain planning when two companies described supply chain planning with almost no human intervention. More on this later, but to start, by driverless (whether referring to vehicles or supply chain planning) I don’t mean completely no touch at all times.

My wife said that she wanted to go to Las Vegas to see the Rolling Stones. It was on her “bucket list”. Not sure about you, but there is something so wrong about the Rolling Stones in Las Vegas. It’s like they stopped rolling… and are now sitting like some big lonely red rock protruding from the sand in the Nevada desert. “Hi Ladies and Gentlemen… our first song is ‘Start Me Up’ … and remember we have defibrillators at all the exits should you need one.”.
