About this blog

Welcome to my new blog! That's right, it's "a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order." (See Wikipedia's definition of a blog.)

I am writing this blog to help you get the most out of my new report Facing the Forces of Change: Lead the Way in the Supply Chain, published by the NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence. On this blog, I'll highlight case studies, news stories, data reports, and anything else that relates to the report or industry trends. You can expect to see posts that:

• Illustrate the ways an individual wholesaler-distributor is responding to a specific trend
• Indicate the speed at which a trend is happening (or not occurring)
• Highlight a wholesale distribution line of trade that is being affected by a specific trend
• Identify emerging trends not covered in the reportThis blog is also way for us to communicate.

Drop me a line and let me know if you have any questions, comments, critiques, or feedback on the report. Send me your ideas and examples for blog posts. Better yet, make my day by telling me that you learned something new from the report!

You can comment publicly using the links at the bottom of each message. I'd love to get some thoughtful conversations going.

I'll try to post at least weekly, so stay tuned!
