How data will transform business (video)

Earlier, I wrote about warehouses. Today, I'll show you a TED Talk in which Philip Evans of BCG talks about data in supply chains.

Enjoy!

What happens inside those massive warehouses? (video)

It's a long time since I posted here. Well, I've been busy. Who isn't these days? ;-) Among other things, I've been teaching and developing a course in Logistics. So, why not cover some topics on Supply Chain Management on this blog?

Are you shopping on the web? Do you know, how these purchases  are delivered at home? If not, watch this TED Talk of Mick Mountz of a company called Kiva which is now part of Amazon.

Enjoy!

Where good idea's come from (video)

During holiday, I read Where Good Ideas Come From by Steven Johnson. Reading this book, I became more and more intrigued by the work of many inventors.

The author spoke at TED about the history of innovation. A talk I like to share with you.

So, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Golden circle (video)

A few weeks ago, I joined a training Business Case Management at Ordina. Being a Project Manager, I've lead many projects. Most of them (more or less) according PRINCE2. Therefore I'm used to business cases. However, the quality of these justifications of our efforts, differ from project to project.

Often, a business case is formulated and discussed at the start of a project and never reviewed or evaluated later anymore. I know, that's not how it's meant to be. But unfortunately, it's practise in many organisations.

During our training, we discussed Business Case Management. Not just defining costs and benefits and writing them down. No, think about the Why of a project. Simon Sinek explains in a wonderful TED Talk his golden circle.
