Growth, Change, Blockchain, Startups
Content-heavy this week to help carry you into next week’s feasting (if you’re American!)
We had the honour of having Schenker Board Member, Tom Schmitt keynote our European 3PL Summit. We’ve actually got a recording of his whole presentation here where he discusses necessary leadership qualities, the importance of people within your organization and the keys to collaboration.
Also, this week we launch the 2nd annual Dynamic Distribution Disruption Retail Summit today! Be sure to check-out the D3 brochure here. Speakers include: VP Global Customer Fulfilment, Amazon, CTO, Kohl’s, VP Supply Chain, Home Depot, CSCO, La-Z-Boy and many more!
Blockchain and start-ups are all over the headlines these days. Here are two articles (written by yours truly) that deal with each (not at the same time): Start-ups – why niche is better than broad and Blockchain and its impact on supply chain.
Finally, as industries and markets settle into last week’s decision, John Wagner Jr, Chief Customer Officer, Wagner Logistics weighs into the possible impact on logistics.
(you can also still add your voice to the anti-globalization survey here)
Enjoy!
