Since the last summary of my guest post contributions (in June), I’ve blogged a number of guest posts over on eSourcing Forum [WayBackMachine] as well as authored or co-authored a number of the initial versions of the wiki-papers over on the eSourcing Wiki [WayBackMachine]. I’ve also contributed articles to the EyeForProcurement monthly newsletter as well as Efficient Purchasing.  For those looking for some more insights on various topics, here they are.
