In the Free Articles area and in the Media area you'll find a number of new articles or presentations now available for access. These include coverage of Strategic Futurist Marcus Barber's presentation to the 2008 Queensland Supply Chains & Logistics Conference that looked specifically at 'Supply Chains of the Future'; a presentation that looked at 'Recruiting for the Future' on behalf of the City of Greater Dandenong's South East Business Networks forum; and finally you can link to the new items at The Australian Strategic Planning Institute website (www.taspi.com.au) to check out the latest Tip Sheets for Executives engaged in the Strategic Planning process
