Continuing This Weekend: Spend Management Goes Upstream
Check back Saturday and Sunday this weekend as we continue our series of posts on Spend Management heading upstream. I've spoken to a few people this week who've told me how Eric Hiller's guest posts last weekend (you can read them here and here) were far more informative and entertaining than mine on the same subject. And I could not agree more with these comments. So if you're interested in learning how design engineers as well as sourcing and operations organizations -- not to mention P&L owners -- can make better upfront product decisions that avoid locking in unnecessary cost and inefficiencies, I'd strongly urge to poor that cup of Joe this weekend, and then open up that web browser to Spend Matters before taking the first sip. You won't be sorry.

J, Going to your website to read a blog is old school. You should be advocating new technologies for efficiency (or in this case, not so new). I read close to 25 blogs through an RSS reader and only 2 of them don't show the full blog post in the reader- yours and the one from tim. We all know that Ariba, Procuri UGS and intesource pay you and probably want some page impressions for their marketing dollars. But you could figure out a better way to do this (for instance, Techcrunch does a monthly "word from our sponsors" blog post). And people have to go to the site to view comments. But don't make me click to read.

I'm a curmudgeon, I admit it. Remember, you're talking to someone who drove a Mercedes 240D until it died (that's a long time). But I admit things can be improved on these pages. Still if the content is good, it should be worth the time regardless. In the future, I'll absolutely begin to embrace newer technologies. But right now, I'm heads down in trying to role out an entirely new research and learning capability on Spend Matters that is taking up my non-project and blogging time.
