Postal Vision 2020; USPS at a Crossroads
The United States Postal Service is suffering dramatic losses due primarily to the electronic substitution for conventional mail and secondarily financial retirement burdens imposed by Congress. Its service offerings will soon be out of sync with digital communication trends and increasingly irrelevant to on-coming generations. This traditional postal business-operating model is clearly not sustainable. A confluence of 150 innovative business thinkers and postal influencers gathered in Arlington, Virginia June 15 to consider and craft a bold vision for the American postal ecosystem looking ahead to 2020.
Ursa Major Associates LLC, a strategic consultancy in the postal and parcel delivery value chain space, created and produced this initial event. Jeff Jarvis, renowned buzzmachine.com blogger and author of the book What Would Google Do?, served as the conference moderator.
