As president of Tompkins Associates, the international supply chain consulting firm, Jim Tompkins has seen an array of approaches to economic recovery. He told Modern during ProMat that a company's future is like the circle of life in "The Lion King."
"What got the fig tree that fell this weekend in my woods?" he asked. "It was dead and was huge, but in keeping with the circle of life, it was time for that tree to be gone and let the light in to let the saplings grow so you have new trees. That's where we are with this recession. It's marvelous. It's a celebration we should be having because the dead wood is going away. It's time for a fresh start and a new beginning."
Agree or disagree? Tell him at his new blog, GoGoGo! Want to know what he thought about ProMat? He tells you on a 0 to 10 scale, 10 being the best, what he thought of everything from the interaction with people at the show (9), their ability to understand how to win after the recession (4), and even the coffee in the hotel lobby (1).
