What do top supply chain companies and companies with sustainable supply chain excellence do differently?
For some, they are continuously reimagining their supply chain strategy with a focus on startup technology and sustainability while delivering agility, efficiency, and resilience. For others, it may be focusing on adapting in various ways to the ever-changing supply chain platform, both internally and externally.

As the world grows increasingly interconnected, the dynamics of business are ever-evolving. At the heart of this transformation lies the intricate, yet crucial sectors of supply chain, procurement, and logistics. Today, we delve into the importance of these sectors and how venture capital is playing a pivotal role in shaping their future.
In the modern business world, procurement models are constantly changing and evolving. As competition grows and technology advances, companies must stay ahead of the curve by utilizing direct spending strategies that leverage pooled resources and demand. So what does this mean for businesses today? Let’s take a look at some of the modern procurement models available and how they can benefit your business.
Business owners often think of the top venture capital firms as just a source of funding. While it is true that top venture capital firms provide financing, they also offer much more than that. Venture capitalists can provide resources such as manufacturers, suppliers, engineering, and best management consulting firms to help businesses grow. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of leveraging venture capital support for more than just its monetary value.
Unions have a long and storied history in America. They were created for the working man to protect them from being exploited by their employers. However, over time unions have become something much different. They are now powerful organizations that hold America hostage on our docks, within our city infrastructures, and in our transportation.
How did we get here? It starts with a little history. In the early days of our country, unions were formed to protect workers from exploitation by their employers. Unions fought for and won better wages and working conditions for their members. And they played an important role in building our middle class.
When you see a product advertised as “Made in America,” what does that mean to you? For most people, it conjures up images of factories manned by well-paid workers producing high-quality goods. Unfortunately, the truth is not quite so rosy. In fact, the vast majority of products advertised as “Made in America” are actually only partially made here.
The percentage of American-made content in products labeled “Made in America” varies widely depending on the product. For example, a shirt that is 100% made in America would have all of its fabric milled, cut, sewn, and finished in this country. A shirt that is 50% made in America would have its fabric milled and cut here but then shipped overseas to be sewn and finished. And a shirt or product that is assembled in America from imported parts would typically only have a small percentage of its value-add here in the States.
In recent years, there has been much discussion about the negative impacts of our broken supply chain structures. The high degree of interconnectivity between organizations, along with the globalization of production and trade, has led to a situation where a disruption in one part of the world can have a ripple effect that is felt throughout the entire supply chain and logistics ecosystem.
This increased vulnerability has been highlighted by a number of notable events in recent years, such as the 2021 Strict China lockdowns, which disrupted global chip production for automobiles, and the 2022 Ukraine-Russia conflict, which impacted a broad array of industries due to the non-availability of metals like Nickel, and Palladium as well as Neon gas used in semiconductor manufacturing. As supply chain companies have made the supply chain environment more complex and interconnected, it has become increasingly difficult for companies to protect themselves from these types of disruptions.
