Return Of Two Classics

Today I am republishing one of my long lost classic essays, “Who Will Decide Which Pedigree Model You Will Invest In?“.  This essay was first published on November 15, 2010 but was removed from public view in December of that year.  Next week I will republish the second long lost essay, “Standards and Guidance For U.S. Pharma Supply Chain Technology“, originally published on November 22, 2010.  Both of these essay contain my thoughts on how the industry will eventually resolve the current confusion over which approach to ePedigree everyone in the U.S. supply chain should take.  Check them out and see if Continue reading Return Of Two Classics

Announcing, Dirk Rodgers Consulting, LLC

After a month of intensive preparations I can now finally announce that I will leave my current employer on July 27, 2012, and on the following Monday I will open the books on Dirk Rodgers Consulting, LLC.  As many of you know, I have filled the role of Sr. Consultant in an full-time internal position at my employer for the last 3 1/2 years.  I will now be able to help clients navigate the same intersection between the pharmaceutical supply chain, track and trace technology, standards and regulatory compliance that I have written about for the last three years.

Over those three years I have been approached by a number of companies who were looking for quality help with their special problems in this realm but I was forced to turn them down or refer them to other consultants because I already had a full time job.  From now on I will be able to offer my own expertise instead.

I have pulled together a new website to market my services at www.DirkRodgers.com.  So far it is pretty minimal but through the fall I intend to expand the information it contains and establish more formal offerings.  If you know of someone in need of help with knowledge and strategy in the areas I write about, please refer them to either RxTrace.com or DirkRodgers.com.

SO NOW WHAT BECOMES OF RxTRACE?

The creation of Continue reading Announcing, Dirk Rodgers Consulting, LLC
