Transitioning from the BackRoom to the BoardRoom – The New Chief Logistics Officer

When asked to think about it, everyone – from consumer to CEO – would agree that transportation, distribution and logistics play a huge role in operating any successful business. The problem is, few people ever think about these “backroom” concerns. In a society that prizes convenience, people take for granted that the merchandise they want will be on the shelf when they're ready to purchase them. They forget that the logistics network of planes, trains, trucks, people and warehouses makes it all possible.
