Blockchain: New Capabilities for Digital Transformation (ASUG)

September 21st, 10am ET

If you’re not familiar with Blockchain, it is the underlying technology behind digital currency - like Bitcoin. Wait! Don’t dismiss this event just because you don’t envision supporting Bitcoin as an accepted currency in your next RFP. There is a whole world of fintech (or financial technology) innovation taking place, and it will affect your business more – and sooner – than you might think.

Manage What Matters: The Pareto Principle, ABC Analysis and How to Manage by Exception (Supply Chain Brain)

September 21st, 1pm ET

Most of us use the Pareto Principle, more commonly known as the 80/20 rule, on a regular basis. And while it rarely goes beyond a rough rule of thumb, is has so much more potential. For instance, as Supply Chain Brain will discuss in this webinar, it can be combined with ABC analysis to improve inventory management.

September 22nd, 11am ET
