The end of November is drawing near, and this time next week we’ll all be stuffed to the brim with turkey and rummaging through our chest of drawers for those elastic waistband pants. With all of the upcoming holidays in mind, we’d like to ask:
What are the biggest pain points for your company during the holiday season?

I’ve had a great deal of time on the road the last 60 days and I’ve come to appreciate the complexity of B2B just a little bit more. There were several very interesting questions that came up during a couple of my presentations. The first one was around a presentation I did on supply chain execution at the Pervasive iNext conference, not sure the exact question so here is a paraphrase: - “How can I leverage visibility to improve and engage members of my business to understand the level of effort required to managed a B2B program?” Needless to say it was a very BIG question, but after asking a follow up question I was able to discern that the question was more about managing demand in the business than the ultimate “run-time” activities.

I just received my latest update from “LinkedIn” showing updates to my network and updates made by those to whom I’m connected and it got me to thinking about how businesses are trying to remodel their use of the web. We’ve all heard the drumbeat around Internet 3.0 and proposed use of some of the social network models, such as those used by “Facebook,” for business use. Don’t know about you, but I am still a bit confused about the definition of exactly what Internet 2.0 was/is, how it has been used, whether it was universally adopted and generated great success for those businesses that adopted it, and whether it is now already out-of-date both technologically and functionally. This is not in any way to underestimate the POTENTIAL power of the integration of the latest technology and operating models but it seems to be far easier for marketing departments to create another set of announcements around the “new and improved” Internet3.0 than build compelling success stories around “click and mortar” businesses in the key industry segments that drive our economy.
