Let’s be honest. No matter what we read in the news or hear from our colleagues, we’ve all got our own analysis of the years past and insights about the years to come.
Much like picking out a fantasy football team, we strategically position ourselves, our companies and our decisions based on our own predictions. Then we hope for the best.
Sometimes, people get lucky with their draft of predictions. Then at other times, they probably wish they’d consulted someone else. Whether you’re the expert in your specific area of supply chain or you have a general working knowledge of it all, there’s bound to be a few areas where you could use some expert guidance.
Recently, dozens of industry analysts and executives got together and provided just that – expert guidance and outlooks in Supply Chain Brain’s 2011 Resource Guide.
In the guide, supply chain experts weigh in on more than 32 industry sectors. Gene Tyndall, an EVP with Tompkins, provides insight on why old ways of management won’t work as the economy recovers. A few other Tompkins analysts comment on the high-tech industry, historical planning in the consumer packaged goods industry, integration challenges in pharmaceutical and biotech industries, and inventory performance.
In this recovering economy, it can’t hurt to listen to what experts in the supply chain world have to say and add it to your own knowledge base.
What’s your outlook for 2011? What do you already see working for you and what do you have planned?
