No doubt they get lots of good press in the supply chain world. But their recent supply chain talent acquisitions really have gotten my attention.<\/p>\n<p>I personally know at least two top-notch people that they\u2019ve lured from other organizations. And if these two guys are indicative of the type of talent they have in their supply chain organization, watch out! They are going to be blazing the trail for the supply chain profession and building on Alcoa\u2019s already impressive success for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>If you get a chance to hear an Alcoa supply chain professional speak at one of these supply chain conferences, please comment on this blog and share your thoughts.
