Our recent Adoption Series, seen by clicking here, will continue this week with a look at general adoption trends in the space and where companies are emphasizing their technology budgets over the next 12-18 months.
I am also excited to let you know that for the first time, we will have outside experts contribute directly to the site and they offer their ideas on supply management technology adoption.
Speaking of experts, R. David Nelson former Chief Procurement Officer of Deere, Honda, & Delphi and current author/consultant will be joining me to discuss Technology Adoption next week on a “User Adoption” themed webinar to be held next week and hosted by Zycus. Here is the description:
Date: Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Time: 2:00 PM (EDT) | 11:00 AM (PDT)
Implementing new technology can be the means to deliver higher business value. However, a smooth technical implementation is not enough, it needs to be supported by widespread user adoption to ensure the success of the initiative.
This summer Zycus conducted a study, 2011 Procurement Automation Adoption Survey. Over 600 procurement & supply chain professionals, representing a combined spending power of around $370 billion, participated in this study. Their responses confirmed that technology adoption has a major impact on both stakeholder participation and compliance to spend management initiatives.
Join our experts as they discuss the insights gained from this study about the tactics & strategies used by best-in-class companies to deal with compliance issues arising out of procurement management solution implementations.
Learning Objectives:
- Five tactics used by top performers to ensure compliance
- Understanding the importance of compliance, participation & technology adoption for transforming corporate culture.
- Increase cross functional participation in spend management activities
- Define role of technology adoption in areas apart from stakeholder participation and compliance to spend management initiatives
