Welcome, welcome, welcome.

If you want to run with the game changers, we are right here in the center of where the game changers are at

SAP Sapphire. Now 2017 in Orlando, Florida, more than 20,000 business leaders have converged

to talk about innovation, to talk about disruption, to talk about the digital economy, digital

transformation, and everything wonderful to help the world run better. I have an opening quote for you,

but I have to tell you we're going to talk about what's keeping today's C-suite awake at night.

We're going to have a very interesting answer to that in a minute. So think way back in time.

You probably heard this adage, meaning a saying, words of wisdom, long time ago. A stitch in time

saves nine. Something about the old english work ethic

let me tell you where it came from thomas fullers get this nomologia adages in proverbs

wife sentences in witty sayings ancient and modern foreign and british from 1732 so we're harking

way back in eras gone by and we're going to talk today in just a second to a gentleman named David Caldwell from Coates, and I am excited to say, it's the company that produces thread.

I'll tell you how I know that.

He is a supply chain systems director, and he's going to help us figure out how his company can evolve from pre-industrial

revolutionary company to the 21st century and beyond. David Caldwell.

Shake my hand. How are you?
