Making RPA and Data the Foundation for Your Digital Transformation Strategy (HfS Research)
December 4th, 11am ET
We are frequently reminded just how different technologies like RPA are from traditional transaction processing and outsourcing. In one way, however, they are exactly the same: unless they are well informed and strategically implemented, they will be unable to achieve the desired results. In this webinar, HfS will be joined by Blue Prism and Ascension Shared Services for a discussion about the importance of data and analytics in leveraging RPA on a digital journey.
December 5th, 1pm ET
What a difference words make. Mention ‘contingent workforce’ and I’ll agree that managing all of the talent needs of an enterprise are important, but I’m not exactly enthused. Mention the ‘future of work’ on the other hand, and hey! You’ve really got something there! I think the primary difference is perspective. Contingent workforce sounds like temporary employees filling in for low level jobs. The future of work and the gig economy – especially if they are leveraged at a management level – can change the whole competitive direction of a company. Christopher Dwyer, the (undisputed?) king of CWM will discuss exciting-sounding results from the 2017-2018 State of Contingent Workforce Management research study.
