The week in review

December 1st, 2006 at 06:40am David Bush - Iasta

I was traveling during part of this week with a broken laptop, so I missed some of the posts going on that I would have normally seen right away. Needless to say, it was an exciting week with lots of action.

  1. I raised some questions about a Hackett report on diversity sourcing which was followed on by a spirited exchange and my request for some input by Pierre Mitchell was ultimately answered, just not on ESF.
  2. BIQ and Spend Analysis fighter ace, Eric Strovink, helped spearhead a very interesting conversation on the details of spend visibility. At last count, there were 14 comments which is a virtual geyser of discussion for our blogs.
  3. Coupa Release Candidate 3 was announced (previous week) and from all I hear, is doing very well and gaining steam.
  4. Our post on the EU, by Sean Delaney, got some pretty good attention in Europe. We received some emails on the topic but they were too shy to post in a comment. Regardless, some liked it and thought it spot on, others thought we were a little too hard on the EU.
  5. Spend Matters and Supply Excellence announced a podcast series, an idea that I have wanted to launch for almost a year now, but alas, 24 hours in a day just aren’t what they used to be. Nice work guys, should be good stuff.

I have no doubt that the amount of quality news and information about supply management has literally doubled, or even, tripled or more in the last 12 months. I think 2006 can be described as the year of the blog in supply management.
