Founder and owner of Global Location Strategies. I find joy in helping companies and communities meet their match and in exploring the path less taken.
There are just not words to describe how horrible @AmericanAir is. An hour late departing GSP because they couldn’t figure out how to balance the plane. Then we get to DFW and there’s no gate. #incompetence
🔥🔥🔥Episode 67 of @BBGIntelligence's Talking Transports podcast has hit. It can’t get more topical than this!! This week tune in to hear my conversation with @didicaldwell, CEO of Global Location Strategies (@glsconsults) and America’s factory whisperer.
🏭🏭🏭 Potential #TradeWars and the #pandemic have exposed how much companies were underpricing the risk premium associated with elongated #supplychains. This has forced many companies to take a long hard look at their supply chains, with many choosing to move some or all their operations closer to their customers and/or materials used to produce their products. Caldwell shares her insights into what it takes for a industrial development project, which are key for long-term #railroad carload growth, to get off the ground. She also discusses how she spent the first half of her career moving companies out of the US and the second half helping them move back.

Navigating the treacherous waters of choosing a new location is not for amateurs. I'm thrilled that @business chose to spotlight the work that site selectors like me do every day in helping companies and communities find their perfect match.

This is Joe Overton
The famous "Overton Window" is named after him
It's the best mental model for understanding how political change ACTUALLY happens

@ianbremmer@CAKitchener We need better controls on who owns the media. If you have significant government contracts, you should not be able to control the media - Bezos, Musk, etc.
Behind many corporate location decisions stands a professional site selection consultant who helps the company identify the best location for talent, operating costs, office/plant options and more. Learn more about the art of site selection: https://t.co/b7nLyQvd0z
@brucewilson @harris_wins No matter what he calls it, we don’t need it. We have so much oil coming out of the Permian that is lighter, sweeter, and cheaper to access, drilling in Alaska now doesn’t make economic sense. Maybe he’s not senile, just dumb.
Anyone that knows me knows that I have alma latina (Latín heart), so I’m excited about the next chapter in US and Latin American relations. #fdi#siteselection#locationstrategy
