Cybersecurity in Today's Interconnected Supply Chain: Don't Build an Apartment. Build a House.
Michael Ebbing, ThomasNet, 8/25/2017
When managing a supply chain, it's essential to encourage interconnectivity on all levels. Staying connected, however, presents a distinct series of risks particularly where connections across cyberspace are concerned. In an era of daily data breaches and hacks, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Organizations need to plan for when attacks happen not ponder what they'll do if one should happen to occur. A risk-oriented approach to cloud control and strict data governance could make all the difference in protecting your business assets. Using a clever analogy, Michael Ebbing encourages readers to think of good cybersecurity as similar to a house. It's best, he suggests, to protect yourself with not one, but a great number of locked doors.

Designing a New Breed of Procurement Professional - Part 2
Gary Como, Corporate United, 8/29/2017
The role of procurement departments is evolving. What were once insular teams dedicated to savings numbers are more and more becoming dedicated long-term partners to their clients. Predictably, the new nature of procurement has helped redefine the qualities that typify a successful professional in the field. Companies looking to hire candidates who are 'qualified' in the traditional sense are setting themselves up for disappointment. Knowing your way around Excel is not nearly enough any more. Today's procurement stars are as comfortable managing supplier relationships as they are analyzing a spreadsheet. Hiring managers should embrace change and strive to reflect the shifting nature of procurement in their job listings.
