We’ve missed you! As you probably know by now, we are no longer The Progress Group (or TPG as we used to call ourselves sometimes). On May 15, we spread the word through a press release here and our global office did it as well, here. We were delighted to take the Crimson & Co name and brand and so we’ve changed our website to Crimson & Co North America (crimsonandco.info) and you will note it features many components of the Crimson & Co (crimsonandco.com), including global news from around the world.

We’re excited to be back on schedule with our supply chain and logistics recaps and our regular blog features and series. We have a few things lined up and are working on our editorial calendar right now.

  • Logistics Management sent out an email blast for a webinar Women in Logistics – Breaking Gender Roles to Win the War for Talent on Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 2pm EST.

  • Buzzfeed reports that Alphabet’s autonomous car company Waymo is exploring testing a self-driving trucks. How could that change things for us? A Waymo spokesperson told them, “Self-driving technology can transport people and things much more safely than we do today and reduce the thousands of trucking-related deaths each year. We’re taking our eight years of experience in building self-driving hardware and software and conducting a technical exploration into how our technology can integrate into a truck.”
  • Supply Chain by The Numbers from Supply Chain Digest provides numbers on a regular basis – a quick snapshot of just a few number. This link shares information on oil prices, HP’s Instant Ink Program and more.
  • What does the supply chain industry look like from a digital perspective? Logistics Management gives details on the MHI Annual Industry Report that “80% of respondent believe that the digital supply chain will be the predominate model within the next five years — with just 16% saying it’s happening today. Similarly, a 2016 survey from Capgemini found that 50% of those surveyed see “digital transformation” as “very important,” yet only 5% were very satisfied with their progress toward it.”
