I wanted to draw your attention to the article that our friend Hugh Williams has authored for us about ‘humans in the supply chain’ – it’s definitely a timely read. Also, please sign-up for the Supply Chain Big Data Webinar, this is becoming a really interesting topic and we have recruited 2 insightful speakers in Lora Cecere and Eric Peters the CEO of FoodLink to present for you. We will also be shortly releasing a report and info-graphic on how companies are using Big Data in their supply chain…more of that next week.

Lastly, as you may know eyefortransport also organizes many industry events around the world – check out our events listing here https://www.reutersevents.com/supplychain/events to see if any of the upcoming events are relevant for you.
