The Boundaryless Value-Chain

2009/09/02 in Business-Technology, Presentations by peg | View Comments

I’ve uploaded another presentation to SlideShare. (Still trying to work through the backlog.) This is something that I had been doing logistics companies and a few public forums, such as The Open Group.

How real-time computing will transform supply chain decision-making

This presentation will provide a plain-English account of how real-time computing will transform supply chain decision-making and control. Peter Evans-Greenwood will illustrate the emerging leading practices with lessons learned from case studies, featuring clients across the globe.

The biggest challenge for today’s supply chains is to be adaptive. While tremendous gains have been made over the last thirty years, today’s applications are not as flexible as promised. New tools and techniques are required to capture and automate the non-linear, exception-rich, business logic that we currently rely on employees to deliver. Extending the technology stack will allow us to leverage the higher capacity of technology to deliver globally optimal solutions and to introduce innovations such as the moving warehouse into all our supply chains.

Planning should not require a Gantt chart

2010/09/03 in Business-Technology, IT Strategy

There’s a standard slide in my bag of tricks which finds it’s way into a surprising number of presentations. It’s a simple slide, one allowing me to explore the idea of planning as a spectrum of possible methodologies rather than treating planning as an either-or choice: either be bottom-up reactive, or requiring us to engage [...]
Innovation [25-08-2010]

2010/08/25 in Innovation, Mailing List

Another week and another collection of interesting ideas from around the internet. As always, thoughts and/or comments are greatly appreciated. The 50 worst inventions [Times] Times has a go at naming their top 50 inventions that didn’t quite work out as intended. And the winner is… [The Economist] Offering a cash prize to encourage innovation [...]
Basketball as an innovation metaphore

2010/08/19 in Innovation

I just realised that the approach to basket ball described by The no-stars all star, from the NY Times, is a nice model for innovation (whatever that is). I’ve been struggling for a while to understand how to define innovation other than retrospectively (isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing). We can pin down invention, customer need, [...]
Think “in the market,” not “go to market”

2010/08/18 in Business-Technology

A friend of mine[1] made an astute comment the other day. We need to think about “in the market” models, rather than “go to market” models. I think this nicely captures the shift we’re seeing in the market; businesses are moving away from offering products which (hopefully) will sell, and adopting models founded on successful [...]
I’ve already told you more than 125% of what I know

2010/08/06 in Business-Technology

Bob Sutton has an interesting post on the limits of expertise: I have already told you more than 125% of what I know. As he points out: I think that those of us who are alleged to have expertise in certain topics can easily fall into this trap as we try to be helpful to others, [...]
