James Hyde reposted thisJames Hyde reposted thisBack in 2013, a conversation with my cousin Noah Devereux sparked a story that neither of us could have predicted or imagined would still be unfolding more than a decade later. Over those years, we’ve built an extraordinary global community of change-makers who’ve participated in 13 events and raised nearly £12 million for Big Change 🙏🏼 The question was simple: what happens when you bring together people who care deeply about growth, adventure and impact - and invite them to challenge themselves together, in service of something bigger than any one individual? Virgin Strive Challenge kicked off in 2014. It was intense, hardcore, and very nearly disastrous (my emergency airlift of the Matterhorn 🤪)... but it worked. Not just in terms of the money raised for charity but in the relationships formed, the confidence unlocked, and the sense of possibility and camaraderie that people carried forward long after the event ended. Over time, Strive became more than a challenge. It became a space where leaders, founders and changemakers could step out of role, drop the armour, and reconnect with what really matters - to themselves, to others, and to the world. Today, we’re building the next chapter: The Strive Collective; A global membership community looking to build brilliant, meaningful lives alongside success and increase our positive impact on the world. The spirit of those early Strive adventures remains at our core… But we’re now spreading Strive’s wings by moving from a once-a-year adventure to a year-round community. Supporting you to grow, live well, lean into your purpose, and create lasting impact – transforming Strive from a powerful moment into an intrinsic part of who you are and how you live. If this resonates, we’d love you to explore the new website, get in touch, or apply to be part of what we’re building. The journey continues but it feels like we’re only just getting started ⚡️🙌🏼💛 https://lnkd.in/eZasQGGr

James Hyde shared thisFifteen years since J&J Global Fulfilment started, I handed it over to it's new new owner, Quincy Boogers. It's both the end of an era for me, but also a new one not only for me, but also for Quincy and J&J. I know he has grand plans for the future and I only hope I get to see it's success over the next decade. I'm going to be taking a break for a couple of months, and giving some time back to Sarah Hyde who's been so supportive over the past decade and a half; but I'm sure I'll be looking for new things soon.

James is an award-winning founder and former CEO of FastTrack 100 company, J&J Global Fulfilment. He is now a non-exec director and business advisor.

From teaming up with our community to shape the curriculum review, to welcoming incredible young leaders through the Spark Awards, and lots in between, we were reminded again and again that (and yes we say this a lot:) together we spark lasting change. 🔥 To every partner, supporter, youth consultant, thought leader, trustee, friend, ally and changemaker who showed up, stood with us, believed in us, and helped bring our mission to life, thank you! 🔥 📖 Dive into our end-of-year blog, it’s a good one! https://lnkd.in/ed6CFAdf

The need for more flexible, adaptable and customer-oriented warehouse operations has been increasingly identified as an important issue by today’s warehouse companies due to the rapidly changing preferences of the customers that use their services. Motivated by manufacturing and other logistics operations, in this paper we argue on the potential application of product intelligence in warehouse operations as an approach that can help warehouse companies address these issues. We discuss the opportunities of such an approach using a real example of a third-party-logistics warehouse company and we present the benefits it can bring in their warehouse management systems.
