If you ask most people about love, they'll talk about family. Almost as often, you'll hear about home-cooked food served with devotion by a doting parent perhaps. Meanwhile, in the United States at least, you may also end up talking about business and, almost always, money. There's an inherent belief that, with the right amount…
Some of my best childhood memories are of the time right after exams when I went to visit my grandparents. My sister and I were royally treated and completely spoiled: special food, treats, and delicacies; special toys; and plenty of pampering, love, and affection. My grandfather had done well and their home was a big…
A few years ago, I walked into a distribution center in Baltimore that could only be characterized as a dump. I didn't say that out loud, of course, because I didn't want to offend the managers and executives there, nor did I want to tarnish their first impression of me. Executives do want to know…
Technologist and innovator Steve Jobs shared his wisdom with graduates of Stanford University in a 2005 address You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to…
Recently, I got to chatting with a customer who asked me if we had ever considered adding a warehouse management system (WMS) to our product lineup. I pointed to the crowded playing field (which is filled with giants like Manhattan Associates, JDA, SAP, Infor, IBS, Logfire, Microsoft, Oracle, and Softeon). His response surprised me: “Nobody…
I recently saw a video about the newest robotics capabilities and it gave me an eerie feeling. It showed robots from Boston Dynamics trudging through the snow and lifting and carrying, all on two legs. I cannot stop imagining a world where these robots acquired super intelligence and are fighting a war against the humans…

Process and procedure produce the benefit; whereas, technology provides the capability to not only deploy such a process, but also to establish processes in the form of a system…
During arms-control summit meetings with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s, President Reagan often used a favorite Russian “doveryai, no proveryai,” that is “trust, but verify.” Reagan had come to realize that the evil empire might be a negotiating partner. The path was rocky, but the two managed to reduce the nuclear arsenals…
Historically, I've been a huge fan of Apple. They have a track record of making quality products and articulating a clear corporate philosophy. After being inspired by all the things Steve Jobs did to build his company and change the perspective of the world, I've come to believe that, at the moment, the company is…
It has been said that data in the twenty-first century is like oil in the eighteenth century. I don't agree with this 100%. Like oil, data has to be refined before it is used, and it's only as valuable as the insights that are drawn from it. Further, oil is a limited commodity —and we…
