When most companies evaluate their contingent workforce management (CWM) programs, they will identify areas of both weakness and strength. As the non-employee workforce has grown and evolved in recent years, there is one glaring weakness that too many organizations routinely struggle with: management of statement-of-work (SOW)-based projects and services.
Many of today’s contingent workers (and professional services) are often linked to SOWs or similar agreements when they are engaged to work on a project. Understanding that, in today’s business environment, nearly a third of the overall workforce is comprised of non-employees, managing complex projects that are tied to SOWs can become a burdensome task.
For the modern procurement professional, the concept of SOW management is a focal area. As more and more CPOs attempt to enhance CWM capabilities and programs as a means of combating the fast-paced, evolving nature of this industry, SOW will continue to be a top area of improvement.
Join Ardent Partners’ research director and industry thought leader, Christopher J. Dwyer, as he expands upon the concept of “complex contingent labor” and unveils a series of best practices, strategies and solutions for mastering the art of SOW management. The August 26 (1pm Eastern) event, hosted and sponsored by DCR Workforce, will identify recommendations for action and leverage Ardent’s landmark contingent workforce management (CWM) research to help attendees develop Best-in-Class SOW management programs.
