Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot . . .

By Art van Bodegraven | 12/30/2012 | 10:02 AM

Well, we won't have 2012 to kick around for much longer.  What will 2013 bring?

Perhaps we stand on the brink of the precipice.  Or, maybe we are ready to launch into a bright tomorrow. Not only is it hard to tell, it is hard to tell the difference - until we are either plummeting downward or gloriously orbiting.

Whatever emerges, we can pretty much count on supply chain management being in the thick of things.  Brought low by catastrophe, elevated as a key enabler in continuing economic recovery, reconstructed in light of continuous global change, impacted by, and impacting in turn, change and the velocity of business evolution.

I can hardly wait to see what happens next  - and to find ways to leverage both the positive and the negative for the greater long-term good.  How about you?
