My Lego Love is Fast Fading
I’ve loved Lego since I was a little kid. I haven’t really counted, but I’m guessing I still have (in large crates in my garage) somewhere around 300+ Lego sets of varying size. There’s something about allowing your creativity to roam that really interests me. And as a company, the Lego Group has also been [...]
Jeff Gordon on Supply Excellence
Justin Fogarty from Supply Excellence e-mailed last week and asked me (and some others as well) about what we thought would be the biggest supply chain risks in a recovery. He was kind enough to think that my response on “Instant Amnesia” warranted a guest post on Supply Excellence. Thanks to Justin for the opportunity!

More on Trust
A few months ago, I wrote that you can’t contract trust – that if you don’t trust someone, the contract isn’t necessarily going to help. D.C. Toedt picked up the baton and discussed how parties can help build trust between two parties (presumably who do not have an existing history). I really liked his points [...]

The process to actually [...]

Confidentiality Exclusions versus Disclosures
When dealing with confidential information, one of the key areas of concern is where information that would otherwise be considered confidential loses its protection. In most contracts, there are four situations where confidential information ceases to be confidential information and can be released. Information that:
was in the public domain prior to, at the time of, [...]
Jeff Gordon Quoted on SpendMatters Today
Today’s edition of SpendMatters discusses merger and acquisition issues as they relate to software licensing. Jason Busch was kind enough to seek my opinion on the matter and through my long and winding response, he pulled out the best nuggets.
At the end of the day, the time to think about M&A-related stuff is when you’re [...]
