First sentence: This is the collaborative era: trust is in and adversarial contingencies are out; real facts and shared information are the foundation for business decisions and business relationships; estimates or assumptions are regarded as guesses; working together with shared and confirmed information is the norm, not the exception; and supply chains compete against supply chains, which is a major change beyond company against company.
