What’s the Frequency Kenneth? Podcast on What’s Next in Supply Chain Technology

August 25th, 2006 · by Tim Minahan · 2 Comments · skills rectruitment and development, supply management

A month ago, I was approached by Charles Dominick, president and founder of Next Level Purchasing and author of the Purchasing Certification Blog, about participating in a audio podcast on the future of supply management strategy and technology.

I am a fan of Charles’ blog, particularly its insights into supply management talent recruitment, development, and retention. Charles shares (and even exceeds) my own passion for this subject. He has to. Training people to become senior supply management executives is his business. I encourage you to check out his blog.

I have also been planning to introduce a regular Supply Excellence podcast (more on that later), so Charles’ offer seemed like the perfect forum to test the waters.

The podcast is entitled “Supply Chain Technology: What’s Next?” and is now available for playback or download in its entirety here. Our discussion runs the gamut from the role of On Demand technologies in supply management to multi-tier sourcing to benchmarking and spend-category intelligence.

I won’t spoil your listening pleasure by recapping our discussion in this post. Instead, I encourage you to download the podcast and listen to it during your daily commute or workout. And please drop me a note to share your opinion of podcasts as a forum for exchanging information and best practices and if you think Supply Excellence should make podcasts a regular feature.

    Thanks for the mention, Tim. It was a fun time recording the podcast with you.

    For those Tim Minahan fans who are wondering what you look like, they can see a photo of you in the article developed from our podcast:

    Good luck if you choose to enter the podcasting realm!

    Now that is frigthening. I hope you don’t scare your readers off with that photo. “Pay no attention to the man behind the podcast…”
