The theme was focused around Freight South Africa and It was a hugely successful day – it really came across that there is a positive change within the transport sector, the road verse rail debate seems to have been resolved each knowing where the other stands – there are frustration, but there seems to be some common factors and a steady form of collaboration between parties and stakeholders taking place, despite the challenges experienced by both.
What was really relevant that came out of the form was that there was a definite need for further collaboration between all parties.
On that note I wish to promote a platform which was launched at the Transport Forum yesterday – namely the RH network which consists of the World of Ports and the World of Rail – which provides exactly that – A place for thought leaders and transport specialist as well as suppliers, consultants, media and interested parties to collaborate share and engage.
This platform is powered by the Railways and Harbours Supply Chain association, which is also linked to CSDP – the competitive supplier development programme. I urge you to go and register your company, yourself and create groups and or link to other groups, and get involved. By sharing and collaborating, this is an industry initiative and we can only resolve the obstacles, by working together.
Established associations can create there profiles within either of the environments and open it up to their current members to get involved, in either debates and discussions. This will also allow for associations to market themselves and their events within the network.
