Wrap up 

And so concludes a whirlwind trip.  Great events in both LA and  NY.  

Learnings from the trip?  Everyone is still struggling with unification.  Having a clear vision of inventory throughout the whole supply chain and across all channels is a major concern.  Also the complete view of a customer is still not there. 

Analytics is getting more attention at every level,  and permeates through the organization.  Hopefully this will drive insights. Questions are just begging for answers. I hope they continue to build better platforms driving deeper insights. 

Back to the salt mines tomorrow.  

The answer my friend,  is blowing in the wind.  – Bob Dylan
