It\'s good to be king
| |
| The Times and other outlets have been running a spate of stories about executive pay. CEOs who walked away with $100,000 a day paychecks, CEOs making millions of dollars at companies in trouble, CEOs with jets and houses and limos... It's like being a king, instead of having a job. |

Are Multiple Supply Chains Important (Survey Response 5)
| |
| A 2006 Report made the following statement:
"Designing and operating multiple supply networks to meet the needs of specific market segments--supply chain innovation and the use of multiple supply chains will be important to future revenue and market share growth."
Based on your own experience is this an accurate assessment? If yes, why? If no, why? |

The Number 1 Question Can A Consultant Really Make a Difference
| |
| Over the past few weeks I have received a spate of questions asking (although some readers have already formed an opinion), what role does an outside consultant really play in an organization? Specifically, what do they do and how can they help me?
This is one of those rare instances when I wear the hats of an unbiased and neutral writer as well as a consultant (I write and teach accredited courses for associations such as Purchasing Management Association of Canada or PMAC).
While I cannot speak for others, over the next few paragraphs I will attempt to provide you with some additional insight into how I approach my work. Hopefully this will at least begin to paint a clearer pricture and perhaps establish a framework for evaluating your current consulting arrangements to enable you to get more from existing relationships. |

The Ariba Interviews: Re-engineering the Future of On-Demand?
| |
| Earlier this month I was contacted by Ariba’s PR firm indicating that they wanted to schedule an interview between myself and a senior executive from the company. The purpose for the interview was to discuss Ariba’s latest contract win in the Healthcare sector. For those of you who may not already be aware, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey will be, and I quote “leveraging Ariba’s on-demand Procure-to-Pay offering to drive savings, efficiencies and competitive advantage.” (Note: here is a link to the actual press release; http://www.ariba.com/company/news.cfm?pressid=2672).

The Greening of Procurement (Part 1)
| |
| In my extensive travels to exotic locales (alright Calgary may not be exotic but it is certainly a great place to visit), purchasing professionals who have attended one of my conferences have rarely if ever broached the subject of environmentally friendly (re green) procurement practice.
Burdened by the more pressing challenges associated with unnecessarily complex initiatives that are behind schedule and over budget, one can certainly understand the reasons for the paucity of inquiries.
