The Sourcing Innovation Resource Site, always immediately accessible from the link under the “Free Resources” section of the sidebar, continues to add new content on a weekly, and often daily, basis. Unlike many “resource”, “best of”, or “portal sites” that are abandoned almost as quickly as they are thrown together, the resource site is actively maintained (and dead links are removed on a regular, usually weekly, basis).
In fact, there have been over 75 resource additions in the past week alone, including:
- 8 new conferences,
- 29 new archived webcasts, and
- 37 new upcoming webcasts.
In addition, the resource site now tracks on-line (free and paid) press release services that you can use to distribute your press releases that advertise your offerings, (human-edited) web directories that will assist you in finding resources outside of the supply chain that may be helpful with other aspects of your business, and (human-edited) blog directories that track blogs with a business, but not necessarily supply chain, focus. And it just introduced a new glossary that currently contains over 20 detailed definitions, and discussions, of common supply chain terms and technologies. This glossary, whose entries act as a starting point in your search for additional information, will grow in size and content over time, but right now you can dive into:
The total number of unique, active resources exceeds the 2,000 mark, and breaks down as follows:
