Completed: SOC-103: 341 State Partnership Program (SPP)

The easiest way to screw up developing and fielding a new weapon system is in the contracting and acquisition process. In the overview section if you discuss requiring ground-breaking technology and mission-focused outcomes, but then when it comes time to submit costs you ask specifically for time and materials, you've already set your program up to fail. "Butts in seats" contracts guarantee over the lifetime of the system cost increases and delays that only get worse over time. Your talent decays over time. And with it, your velocity. Don't talk about an outcome and then measure hours per rate. Weapon systems acquired this way have already failed before they started. If you can't get a contractor to give you a fixed price for the work, it means you are going to be left with a second-rate system. There is nothing wrong with "sprinkling in" a little time and materials. But if over 30% of the contract work is T&M, you are set up to fail in the long run. In 20 years, I've never seen this go well. Prove me wrong 😉

This small change on a packaging will drive massive changes for businesses. By allowing to embed in the 2D code not only product but also production data -up to individual serialised product information- this will allow streamlining the supply chain and track product at batch or even individual item level. Furthermore, by giving access to consumers to some of this data, brands will be enabled to engage with consumers to an unprecedented extent. Simply. Just with a smartphone.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming GS1 Standards Event, where I’ll be giving a sneak peek of the new features in the Enhanced EPCIS Sandbox. 📅 When: 13:00-14:30 CET (Virtual) We’ve added some exciting enhancements, focusing on capturing and querying EPCIS events through the REST API in EPCIS 2.0. If you’re curious about the latest tools to streamline how we handle EPCIS data, this will be a good opportunity to check it out. This session is open to anyone – whether you’re deep in the world of standards development or just exploring what EPCIS can do for your supply chain. Craig Alan Repec from GS1 will be leading the session, and I’ll be demoing the new features. Looking forward to seeing you there! #GS1standards2024 #digitaltransformation #barcodes #GTIN #GS1 #EPCIS #SupplyChain #Standards
