More Quotes from Steve Rosen:
Our belief is that a lot of companies are short-sighted. They're told to do something by a retailer, and they run out and do it. While they're complying with the mandate, it's the channel master (the Wal-Marts and Home Depots) that gets all the value out of it. The company is happy that its customer is happy however, if they were to integrate data and e-business initiatives, they would gain five times the effectiveness in terms of supply chain functionality and usability.Steve Rosen
I'm of two minds on the issue. From a business development and sales lead point of view, two events yields twice the number of names and opportunities we generate from the COMMON membership. However, I believe that trying to conduct two successful events each year is more than the infrastructure can support. I suggest a single, large spring event with a university curriculum online to deliver the education and certification component that means less travel, less time, same content. Four or five TUGLUG and workshop programs would fill in with the face-to-face issues.

There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.
