Thousands of employees spend their budgets in the trenches to accomplish their missions – so shouldn’t they be leading a software selection rather than Procurement and IT (both of whom want to go “touchless” and also support the stakeholders) so that they pick the tools that they truly need to be successful? 

Well, if you're H&R Block, then you want 300 cross-functional power users representing thousands of broader stakeholders (located in 12,000 remote sites!) to be driving the bus on the process design, technology selection, and the technology platform itself that meets their needs. 

Join Spend Matters Chief Research Officer Pierre Mitchell and H&R Block VP Finance Todd Dooley as they take you on a journey toward value-based evaluation where internal stakeholders are a key part of the selection journey. 

You'll learn:

  • A technology selection approach that turns a traditional RFx approach on its head and basically guarantees buy-in from the start
  • The new roles played by procurement, IT, power buyers, casual users, and third parties
  • 6 key business scenarios that in turn drive P2P design and performance outcomes which in turn drives the needed cloud technology capabilities
  • Key tips and tricks to front-load your project in a way that eliminates traditional downstream implementation barriers
  • How to ensure that procurement and IT can still get their objectives met as well
