Issue also tackles “ripped from the headlines”
issues - blockchain, skills gap, sustainability and behavioral
economics
In 2016, more than 1.4 million people attended one of the 191
Maker Faire events held worldwide. Since its 2009 launch, over $3.3
billion has been pledged to support makers and startups through the
crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. Making has become a bona fide
force within the global economy, and the October 2017 issue of
Supply Chain Navigator, released today by Avnet (NYSE: AVT), a
leading global technology distributor, features an exclusive
one-on-one interview with the man who set the movement in motion,
Dale Dougherty, founder and CEO of Maker Media.

Dougherty sheds light on his journey to becoming “Father of the
Maker Movement,” the influence makers have had in driving consumer
expectations for more personalized, quick-turn product and how
makers can help corporations remain competitive through
innovation.
“Dale had the vision to see what ‘could be’ and the passion to
nurture an ecosystem that would allow makers to thrive,” said Wade
McDaniel, vice president of Supply Chain Solutions, Avnet Velocity
and publisher of Supply Chain Navigator. “As far as making has come
in the past decade, there is so much more potential to be realized.
Dale shares his thoughts on how bridging the maker-corporate divide
can unlock that potential.”
