Not every day that inventory replenishment strategy makes the news! Interesting tactic by #Walmart to encourage vendors to back additional inventory -- but worth the risk of alienating customers? https://t.co/5SGTnBBygg #ecommerce #supplychain

Also, a fantastic interview question: "When you look back at your career so far, what were the high points and the low points?" https://t.co/Dt2XnqpPfA

SO interested to see if this prediction comes true! "I think coding will become what typing was for the Baby Boomer generation – something everyone ends up doing when they grew up thinking it could just be relegated to a few experts." @ibm

Such good advice on 3 parts of effective apologies:
(1) acknowledge how your action affected the person;
(2) say you’re sorry;
(3) describe what you’re going to do to make it right or make sure it doesn’t happen again. Don’t excuse or explain." https://t.co/CEcHClKtGl
