Lesson #3: Dare to Take a Chance and Be the First
Monaghan is fond of saying, “I owe all my success to stupidity.” In reality, the emergence of Domino’s as a global pizza empire owes itself less to the fact that Monaghan didn’t know what he was doing, as to the fact that he was willing to take risks and gamble on ideas he couldn’t predict the odds or the outcome of.

I am giving a talk this afternoon at the Inbound Marketing Summit in Boston and here is the essence of the message I plan to deliver.
Accountability and Outcome is a Shared Responsibility in the RFP Process
It never fails to amaze me that given the amount of research which goes into the production of each PI Window on Business Show, there are always a number of new insights that come to light during the live broadcast. In fact this is one of the reasons why social media is so critical to the procurement profession, as it broadens the lens through which we can view a particular subject.

What Not to Do on a Cold Call Email
Sometimes it is truly impossible to reach a prospect by telephone - and for some prospects email is their preferred form of communication.

Don’t let this happen to you…

On The Leading Edge of a New Paradigm: A Socially Conscientious Approach to Collaborative Enterprising (Buyers Meeting Point)
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.” Final sentence of A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens, English Novelist (1812 – 1870)

It’s Time For The Small Business Owner To Get Back In The Game
There is no doubt that market conditions have deteriorated over the past few months regardless of the industry. Business leaders and owners have acted quickly to cut unnecessary personnel and expenses to protect the bottom line. That’s a good thing for the survival of the company even though it doesn’t do much for the overall economy. There is an important bi-product of this activity. It forces the owner or executive to get more involved in the day to day activities of the business and in the case of a small company, forces them to “go back to work”.

Simulations, games, virtual worlds, and Web 2.0 are revolutionizing education and training around the world. Here are three reasons why it is happening today.
What kinds of information and technology is used in Supply Chain communication?
Network Member Question: What kinds of information is being sent across companies in a Supply Chain? And what technology is helping you with that? I have been reading more about SCM lately, and I was wondering what kinds of information is being sent across companies? Is it all numbers and values ? Or unstructured data as well ? And how is technology helping you to do this ? Do you share a specific platform across these companies? Or does every company has its own, and is this connected to one another ? Which software enables you to do so ? Question Submitted By: Marijn Somers Functional Analyst/Project Leader Belgium

Have you read Forrest Breyfogle’s new book on Integrated Enterprise Excellence? Thoughts/comments?
Member Question: I recently read one of Forrest Breyfogle’s new books in his 4 book-volume series on the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) System; i.e., "The Integrated Enterprise Excellence System: An Enhanced, Unified Approach to Balanced Scorecards, Strategic Planning, and Business Improvement." The subtitle to this book describes what is covered in varying details in the other three volumes. My sense is that Breyfogle has pushed his (and our) thinking to the next level and addressed issues that many of us struggle with regarding Continuous Improvement efforts. His “Integrated Enterprise” thinking makes sense to me, what are your thoughts or feedback?
Number of SKUs and Business Complexity
Member Question: I am sure you all agree that more SKUs (finished goods) the company has in its portfolio the more complex (and more expensive) its business becomes. However I wonder how this relationship works exactly? Can anyone recommend formula (or link) that explains (shows impact of) number of SKUs on logistics / supply chain costs (handling, warehousing, transportation), forecast accuracy, level of stocks, etc?

The Green Consumer is out shopping and they're reading your company's Environmental Label
Do you frequently read food labels at the grocery store? You're not alone. It's a growing trend these days. And it's expanding beyond just food. Now, consumers are reading the 'environmental' label on products. Just as these consumers have become savvy about learning more about good nutrition, they're becoming equally savvy about what's good for the environment. As a business, it's time to take a look at your company's 'environmental' label.
Is having a website a requirement in the RFQ RFP process today
Member Question: I have a question, for those actively participating in the RFQ & RFP process today. We had a client request we put up one page of his newly developed site, even though it was in the production phase and not close to finalization. He requested we upload one page, disconnect the links, and post. In further discussion he explained, having a website was part of a RFQ submission requirement. Both concerned are privately held corporations and both in the US. Has this become a standard requirement in the RFQ/RFPprocess? If so, in what cases and industries is it required? My Response: The statement that “having a website was part of RFQ submission requirement,” demonstrates that the “myths” surrounding discredited supply chain practices continue to persist.

Microsoft Acquires SAP? (A Commentary)
In her December 3rd posting in Information Week, Mary Hayes Weier reported a rumor in which Microsoft was in the process of moving toward acquiring SAP. The markets as Ms. Weier put it “felt strongly enough about the rumor that they drove up SAP’s stock by nearly 2%.” She went on to say that “there could be something to it,” as Microsoft had originally “looked at acquiring SAP” in June of 2004. Here is the link to the post in its entirety: http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/12/microsoft_rumor_1.html?cid=nl_IWK_daily#community

Public Sector Procurement Practice and the Principles of External Economies, Clustering and the Global Value Chain
Can the public sector effectively apply the principles of External Economies to its procurement practice? “External economies of scale (ES) occur outside of a firm, within an industry. Thus, when an industry’s scope of operations expands due to, for example, the creation of a better transportation network, resulting in a subsequent decrease in costs for a company working within that industry, external economies of scale are said to have been achieved. With external ES, all firms within the industry will benefit.” (What Are Economies of Scale? By Reem Heakal, January 2003)

5.1 Macroeconomic stance is crucial to diversification outcomes: Economic Report on Africa 2007
An important aspect of the diversification debate and of Africa’s experience has to do with the role that macroeconomic policy plays. This has also been investigated at the continental level in the results that are presented in table A5.1. Two important indicators of macroeconomic stability, depending on the macroeconomic policy in operation, are inflation and real effective exchange rates and these are found to be among the most critical determinants of diversification outcomes in Africa.
Africa needs a technology bubble
According to the WSJ, silicon valley is on the brink of another technology bubble bust like what was witnessed in 1999. According to the article the emergence of "strange" website names such as Orgoo and businesses whose sole purpose is to sell t-shirts bearing the logos of internet companies(check out Startup Schwag) is evidence of a bubble and its eminent bust. I cannot even pretend to understand the dynamics of silicon valley, so I won't even argue with the writer of the article, but I'm left wondering when will Africa expereience it's own technology bubble?
Restricted Access to Finance
Africa’s SMEs have little access to finance, which thus hampers their emergence and eventual growth. Their main sources of capital are their retained earnings and informal savings and loan associations (tontines), which are unpredictable, not very secure and have little scope for risk sharing because of their regional or sectoral focus.
