Business Preparation for Avian Flu

There was an interesting article in today's Post-Gazette, which gave some examples of how businesses are preparing contingency plans for the arrival of avian flu.

As I've said here before, avian flu is going to require some different approaches from procurement professionals. This particular article even cited the input of Giant Eagle's director of IT procurement.

The avian flu threat is definitely driving some business changes and procurement leaders need to be proactive, flexible, and ready to switch gears. I encourage you to take some time to think about how avian flu could affect your organization and what you can do in procurement to support your organization's survival in the event of an outbreak.
