Contract Talent Is a Business Imperative

Thursday, July 8, 2010 1:00pm EDT

Any organization seeking to balance the challenges of ambiguity and execution in a slow-growth world with the chance for renewal and opportunity is wise to strategically leverage Contract Talent. While Contract Talent already played a critical role in many adaptive organizations’ workforce plans before the Great Recession hit, it likely will play an even more important role going forward, as leaders struggle not only with the uncertainty of the recovery, but with questions surrounding regulatory reform in key areas such as health care, the environment, and finance.
Properly executed, a Contract Talent strategy offers organizations greater agility and flexibility to execute and should be a key component of a holistic Workforce Plan for the foreseeable future. This webcast will share the results of a new ground-breaking study, Contract Talent and the Adaptability Imperative, which focused on the needs, challenges, and attitudes of organizations at this important economic inflexion point.
All webcast attendees will receive a free copy of this new report.

Tackling the Procurement of Complex Services - 5 Tips for Breaking Through Barriers

Thursday, June 24, 1:00 PM (EDT) | 10:00 am (PDT) / 6:00 pm London Time

Don't miss this Free, 1-hour STREAMING ONLY Web event hosted by ISM and sponsored by Emptoris.

As organizations outsource more and more services such as IT, contingent labor, facilities management, business consulting and marketing, these complex categories have become increasingly attractive targets for improving the bottom line. Services are traditionally more difficult to manage than goods – they are fundamentally complex, purchased across the enterprise, and in some cases, regarded as sacred cows that shouldn’t be centrally controlled.

Transformative leaders are employing innovative technologies to break through the many barriers associated with procuring complex services. By implementing an integrated platform—from spend analysis, strategic sourcing and contract management to services procurement and supplier risk, today’s leading enterprises are gaining strategic value and sustainable savings from services categories.

Join Forrester and industry practitioners for a 1-hour interactive panel discussion to learn how:

• End-to-end strategic supply management can deliver hard-cost savings and provide the visibility, control and automation of the services supply chain
• Spend analysis can help you identify the size of the prize across all types of services spend
• To source high profile services that can reduce costs
• Contract management can help structure strong contracts with service providers
• To realize sourced and negotiated savings

Register today!  Participants will be able to take part in live Q&A during the main presentation!  Live attendance for this Web Seminar qualifies for one ISM CEH credit.

Available on Demand

Often representing more than 50% of an organisation’s annual spend, the effective management of services spend has long been an elusive goal for many procurement organisations.

This interactive webinar will combine research from leading analysts with insights from practitioners with experience of managing Services Procurement programs across the global enterprise. This webinar will focus on:

• How a services management solution delivers visibility and control over difficult to manage complex service categories
• Trends in services procurement and how to successfully manage the nuances of indirect spend categories
• Practical examples of how to capture savings across a wide variety of services categories, such as temporary labour, IT services and maintenance

Services Procurement

Demystifying Services Procurement: A Roadmap to Sustainable Savings

Most organizations – even those traveling the procurement transformation path – have little visibility into their services spend.

Despite the unique challenges of managing indirect services spend, the possibilities for corporate value are significant - often times yielding double-digit percentage savings. Did you know that a typical Global 2000 enterprise spends more than one billion dollars on outsourced services? Getting this spend under management is a substantial untapped opportunity!
