'The supply chain is knotted. It is unruly. It is complex. Will it ever be tamed through social? Yesterday, @DamarqueViews asked me a question on twitter: “What do you think are the greatest barriers in the adoption of social technology in the supply chain?” I laughed.

'Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. I was speaking to a client today about the vision for my new analyst firm Supply Chain Insights, and I quickly realized that I had assumed that the clients knew their role in this new model that we are building.

'I take supply chain seriously. My friends might tell you TOO seriously. I think that the entire world should.

Yes, I am an unabashed zealot. I have been at it for a long time.

An article in RFID Journal discusses a GS1 study done last year (with results published this year) involving wine being shipped from Italy to Hong Kong.
