If you think your Procurement and Sourcing operations could run better, join the club! Many enterprises are looking at overhauling existing systems or buying into new technologies to cover the spectrum of Spend Management processes. Shiny new toys are within reach of almost anyone now that the Cloud is in vogue. But throwing technology at this is not the answer any more than buying a Ferrari for grandma will make her the next Danica Patrick. See a software guy (and recovering sourcing manager) tell it like it is about technology-driven procurement transformations.
Topics in this session included:
- The many forms of organizational inertia
- How today’s inefficient, manual, and sometimes embarrassing processes hold the key to success
- What not to expect from technology…ever
- How, despite the above, you can make it work
