The call for submissions by Infrastructure Australia prompted TALC to offer the TILIS collaborative infrastructure idea as the backbone for a national industry e-collaboration framework.

A copy of the submission can found on TALC web site as well as here in this article.

TALC has been granted a licence to deliver internationally recognised courses in logistics management by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) international. The three courses — certificate, diploma and advanced diploma — are provided in 30 countries around the world.

At the national energy and environment summit convened by the Australian Logistics Council in Melbourne on 23rd July 2008, the overwhelming majority of delegates supported an aggressive and ambitious goal of zero net carbon emissions for the T&L industry.

The BIG questions for the T&L industry in matters of energy and environment require a considered and reflective response. TALC has commissioned a paper by Dr Guy Pearse, respected author and environmental activist in which he poses 10 key questions for the T&L industry.

A copy of his Paper can be downloaded from the general research and development section of the TALC web site.

Ross Gittins from the Sydney Morning Herald on 26 April 2008 reminds us that CEOs in Australian industry as elsewhere often fall victims to their own propaganda. They do not maximise shareholder returns because they often ignore the real source of productivity - their people. They tend to rely on cost cutting instead of staff development to achieve financial results.
