Amazon recently announced a push to provide its Prime members with one-day rather than two-day free shipping. In a cheeky bit of journalism, Todd Bishop ( @toddbishop ) and Nat Levy ( @NatJLevy ) call one-day shipping Amazon’s new “Prime number.”[1] They go on to note, “Amazon’s moves are often followed by its retail rivals, like Walmart and Target, so this strategy could set a new standard for delivery speeds around the world.” Many analysts assert the rise of e-co

As most of you likely know I’m from Canada eh, and so of course I love hockey! All of Canada is hockey crazy and as those in the know are aware the NHL is now in the midst of The Stanley Cup Final series between the St. Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins. Alas, no teams from Canada made it past the first round of the NHL Playoffs this year, but I take solace in the fact that more than half of the players on the two teams in the Final series are actually Canadians!

When it comes to intelligence in decision making, it’s our differences in experiences and attitudes that make our businesses evolve in a diverse manner. There are often many ways to solve a problem. The path we take can be an expression of our human creativity. This ingenuity is precisely why Artificial Intelligence alone is unlikely to help us break out and take supply chain decision making to the next level.

Lemmings are misunderstood. So are supply chain leaders. What is a lemming? Simply put, a lemming is a small rodent. Active in Arctic tundra ecosystems, they are part of the super family Muroidea, which includes rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. A lemming’s population rises and falls. Sometimes there are large migrations that result in mass drownings.

by Alexa Cheater Stop making decisions in the dark. Some things are better in the dark. Fireworks. Watching a movie. Robbing a bank. Supply chain planning isn’t one of them. So why do so many companies still plan that way? Managing a supply chain is tough enough without having to make decisions blind. Increasing cost pressures, growing customer expectations, expanding ecosystems—all add to the complexity you’re facing every day.

After 32 victories and $2,462,216 in earnings, the run is finally over. Of course, I am talking about James Holzhauer’s Jeopardy win streak, which ended earlier this week, about $60,000 shy of Ken Jennings’s record of $2,522,700 in a 74-game winning streak in 2004.

“What should we do about the tariffs?” There’s no straightforward answer — every leader has a different expectation. CFOs want numbers. COOs want action. CEOs want strategy.

That’s why GEP has created a simple three-part framework that will help CPOs and CSCOs brief the board and C-suite with clarity and confidence.

We’ve all heard the saying “seeing is believing,” which means you need to see something before you can accept that it really exists or occurs. You might also be familiar with W. Edwards Deming’s famous quote, “In God we trust, all others must bring data.” In many ways, both these sayings relate to supply chain.

Managing Director, Art of Procurement. Everything procurement delivers – from savings to risk mitigation to value – is predicated on having access to clean, trustworthy data. If this foundation does not exist or if it is shaky, then buyers don’t know how much the company is spending with a given supplier, let alone how they can improve the efficiency or impact of a given spend category.

Most discussions about crossroads focus on decision-making and choosing a direction to head. For example, author Mary Buchan ( @MidLifestyleRN ) writes, “Life presents us with moments of decision — crossroads where we either choose a new direction and move on, or cling to what we already have and be miserable.” Much less discussed — but to me a more interesting topic — is what comes together at crossroads.
