More Aberdeen changes?

Reprinting from Spend Matters comments, which was pointing out a comment I made about Aberdeen, last week:
Well, did one of those emails announce any analyst/coverage changes? Vance got smart and escaped out of here — Aberdeen’s going to be a non-player in Supply Management. So you can just remove yourself from their email list. Don’t hold your breath on a RSS feed. # Posted By Aberdeen Churn Continues | 6/14/07 8:17 PM
If this turns out to be true, it takes the crown - in my personal experience - as having the most consistent talent turnover I have ever witnessed. All of supply management suffers from this type of instability.
Jason, you need to expand your sphere of influence and start hiring all these former analysts to build a new type of analyst coverage which only sells research and has deep supply management knowledge and experience. I think the time has come for a new model in market analysis/benchmarking, vendor coverage and best practice documentation.

David,
Thanks for the kind words. My hope is not to create a new analyst model, but something new entirely. Lots of ideas — none of them orthodox. So stay tuned. Here’s how I’m judging Spend Matters new businesses. If we can:
1) make procurement fun
2) laugh at ourselves and the world through a sourcing lens
3) learn and develop knowledge at entirely new levels
4) save time in our busy schedules …
Then Spend Matters’ new ventures will be a huge success, and I’ll be satisfied.
