Everybody has an opinion on supply chains nowadays, but have you ever asked how did we even get to our current supply chain reality?
Or have you ever found yourself in a jam and wondered how would a supply chain pioneer approach a current problem facing your organization?
Remko van Hoek’s The Making of the Supply Chain explores five supply chain trailblazers who reshaped the industry while also demonstrating how their innovative practices changed the world and how we obtain our products and services. Yet van Hoek goes beyond history and shows how other supply chain leaders transformed these innovations into new breakthroughs. If you want to know how we got here, and what these pioneers still have to teach us today, van Hoek will help you formulate a way to break new ground and create the future.

The retail and consumer packaged goods industries are always changing, but what if one of the biggest changes was a story that’s never been told until now?
That’s exactly what Tom Muccio’s Collaborative Disruption provides: the backstory to our current retail reality. Muccio offers a firsthand account of the Walmart and Procter & Gamble relationship that revolutionized retail, producing the “one-company model” that fundamentally shifted how suppliers and retailers worked with one another. Tom Muccio was the first leader of the P&G team that pioneered this concept with Walmart and has since worked to spread this collaborative model to industries and organizations around the world.
For those who want to rethink what change management and vision and unleash the power of collaboration within and across firms, Collaborative Disruption is a must read.
