Global warming is being used to justify statistics that attack the most innovative products in the world. The Prius, Toyota’s amazing hybrid, is now said to have an energy footprint higher than the Hummer. RIDICULOUS! CNW Marketiing’s study was innocently published by the Automobile Club in their May Westway’s magazine (no on-line version as of […]
Looking over my blog statistics, which reveal which countries are viewing my blog, I’ve noticed China inching up the pack. China has already had, and will have, a tremendous impact on the projects that are managed worldwide.
I would like to put out a special request to those readers from China to participate in my blog. […]
I’ve read a lot lately about the degree that a software system, whether it be ERP or PLM, makes more sense if it is designed for the industry served. This is especially relevant in manufacturing where process manufacturers (food, beverage, chemicals) deal with formulas and recipes and others (assemblers, fabricators) deal with bills of material.

Ford caved in to environmental concerns; but they did it in a way that should allow them to avoid the committment. CFO, in their article on “green”, said:
“Activist shareholders scored a victory last month when Ford Motor Co. announced that it would reduce the greenhouse-gas emissions of its new vehicle fleet by at least 30 […]
Corporate reputation and brand image is the most important reason for going green. This tells me that companies are reacting to the hype around global warming by simply changing their marketing messages.
It’s interesting, in this graph taken from CFO’s article on “green” issues, that developing new products and services is fourth on the list. Certainly […]
CFO continues to cover “green” issues and how companies react to them. The confusion on becoming “green” is borne out of the fact that much of the environmental crisis is trumped up. Companies are beginning to compare the coming regulatory environment to SOX - which was a ridiculous response to some corporate shenanigans:
Companies may have […]
CFO is doing a webcast covering how environmental requirements are changing companies. Their approach is to scare you into watching. The scare tactics are what have overblown global warming and the need for carbon emissions trading in the first place:
“Recent accounting changes mean that even future environmental liabilities can wreak havoc on your company’s financial […]
A recent Google search turned up a newsreleasewire.com entry from a “business relationship expert“. I’ve personally gone back and forth on the value of social networks to business but a major change has occurred. I recently attended a customer conference for users of our software and found tremendous interest in the use of social networking […]
Manufacturing Business Technology magazine’s article on collaborative innovation leads to an obvious question: how do you protect intellectual property when you involve many companies and associations in finding a link between a company with a problem and a company with a solution? Paul Stiros, CEO of NineSigma, a firm that links problems and solutions together, […]
NineSigma, a firm that links problems of one firm to solutions of another, finds extensive networking to be essential. Manufacturing Business Technology magazine writes about the process:
“NineSigma starts by combing its database of more than 800,000 solution providers for potential candidates to solve the problem. In addition, Stiros [NineSigma CEO] says, “We have relationships with […]
