How is it Friday already?? Lots of goodies to share with you all from the US this week, beginning with our brand-new research paper: Contract Lifecycle Management 101. You can't miss a paper that starts with "While contract lifecycle management, or CLM, is probably one of the most uninspiring acronyms in the procurement technology space, it is also one of the most important."
Also, some upcoming webinars:
Next Wednesday! Award-Winning Supply Chain Risk Management at AGCO
Build it (Right) and They Will Come: Becoming a “Client of Choice” to the Independent Workforce, and will be held on June 17. It's about "enabling contingent workforce management professionals to understand how to flexibly engage and fully leverage this growing—and still not fully-tapped—source of expertise." Jason Busch and our new analyst, Andrew Karpie, will be participating with sponsor MBO Partners.
