Jordan raised several interesting points during our conversation. For example, he discussed how population growth and urbanization (the rise of “megacities”) are playing a key role in the global strategies of many companies. Simply put, tomorrow’s consumers won’t be living where they are today. He also talked about the importance of having the right “people processes” in place. In other words, going global goes beyond having a physical presence in multiple geographies and having a technology platform capable of supporting a global operation; it’s also about creating an organizational structure that is truly aligned with the right metrics in place. Of course, having a TMS capable of supporting multiple transportation modes and services, with global visibility and business intelligence capabilities, is also important. For more details and other insights, listen to my conversation with Jordan below. Then post a comment and share your viewpoint on this topic.
