While solid innovation strategies were in place, the lack of available talent to execute on big ideas seriously compromised the success of Fortune 500 global leader Ecolab. With an extremely competitive market for STEM talent, finding qualified IT resources was expensive and often impossible. Typical budget constraints and traditional funding models constrained execution, innovation, agility, and progress.

As companies embrace digital agility and prepare for the remote workforce of the future, procurement leaders are finding it increasingly difficult to identify talent that meet the technical requirements needed to achieve their goals.

In this session, Bill Sedoff, Former Director of Global Indirect Procurement at Ecolab and Patricia Connolly, CEO SMC Squared will share how they were able to grow “”right-sized”” teams over twelve capability areas allowing Ecolab to reclaim control over their global development work while leveraging highly-coordinated, cost-effective global IT resources.
