    Amazon.com; Change-agent of Retail & Logistics

    ByJoseph Paris June 6, 2011February 18, 2026

    I grew up in Endicott, New York.  Its claim to fame is being the birthplace of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).  In the mid-60’s through the mid-80’s, Washington Avenue (the main retail district) – also known simply as “The Ave” – was a-buzz with retail activities from family-owned retailers such as Burt’s (a department store) and Kline’s (a…

    “Guerilla Transformation” – Change an Insurgency into a Movement

    ByJoseph Paris February 24, 2011February 18, 2026

    Each of us belongs to a community, or network.

    Change Happens – Get over it, get on with it!

    There Must Be a Better Way

    ByJoseph Paris May 5, 2010February 18, 2026

    How many times have we heard this?  How many times have we said it? Personally, I am certain that I say this more than once per day. Sometimes it’s out of frustration, sometimes it’s out of amazement, sometimes it’s just a moment where I give a look and think, “You gotta be kidding me” – it’s the…
