Practical Artificial Intelligence for Contract Lifecycle Management (IACCM)
November 7th, 11am ET
Here’s the interesting thing about CLM: while it isn’t the most exciting area of procurement technology (in my opinion at least) it is the most frequently cited in terms of suitability for AI and blockchain. How’s THAT for exciting? In this webinar, IACCM and Kim Technologies will get into the opportunities, use cases, and the differences between platforms and niche applications that can be used for the improvement of contract management.
How Design Thinking is Changing Business Operations (HfS Research)
November 8th, 11am ET
This last minute add to the calendar, HfS will talk about how design thinking can be used to improve business operations. Design thinking, defined by CreativityatWork.com as a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients, is gaining ground in companies that prioritize innovation. In this webinar, HfS will be joined by Lawrence General Hospital (and their service provider partner, Sutherland) to illustrate the potential of design thinking in practice.
