July 14 is a day of revolution for one proud nation. As I write this article, I am in the town where many Patriots awoke 234 years ago, rode a few miles down the road, and fired a collective shot heard round the world which set in motion the revolution for this proud nation.
For me, this July 14 is a day of personal and professional revolution as we proudly announce that Ardent Partners is open for business. Like other revolutions or revolutionaries, we are trying to change the world, at least the part of it that focuses on supply management, our world. Unlike other revolutions, this one will be televised; and occasionally, it will have a soundtrack.
I welcome your comments and feedback.
A quick introduction to Ardent Partners

One final note, CPO Rising will continue unchanged and unabated, discussing the topics that matter most to CPOs and other supply management leaders. We thank you for your continued support.
