2) While some employers are taking steps like increased training to address talent shortages, many have grown complacent in believing the problem will not impact their business.
3) Developing a comprehensive workforce strategy aligned with business goals is presented as the best way for employers to solve current talent problems and prepare for future shortages as economies continue recovering.

However, small businesses face challenges with not having enough time and determining the best social media strategies and tactics to use.
Survey results: The age of unbounded dataMoxie Insight
This document discusses a survey on how enterprises are leading in the age of unbounded data. The key findings include:
- Enterprises have become highly instrumented, using new data sources and analytics to drive insights. However, making sense of this complex data ecosystem is challenging.
- Sense-making is the top data priority for enterprises, more so than just accessing more data. Data quality issues are also a major problem.
- Customer data in particular has low quality and is underutilized, despite its potential to drive competitive advantage.
- Fewer than half of respondents rate the quality of their customer, partner, and employee data as good or excellent.
- While most enterprises measure customer experience
The document summarizes the key findings of a 2010 supply chain survey. It finds that: (1) Half of companies do not review their supply chain strategy as often as needed; (2) One-third of companies do not have future proof plans to account for various possibilities in the next few years; (3) More than half of companies are concerned with inventory costs and transportation costs. The document provides recommendations around measuring, assessing, planning and developing robust strategies to manage risks and variability in an uncertain future.

Symantec 2011 Threat Management Survey Global ResultsSymantec
The 2011 Threat Management Survey found that:
1) Enterprises were not confident in their security posture and many were struggling with timely analysis and response to threats. Their top concerns were security intelligence, visibility, and analysis.
2) 57% of respondents lacked confidence in their IT security staff's ability to respond to new threats due to staffing issues like not having enough staff, staff lacking time, and staff lacking the right skill sets.
3) 66% rated their staff as less than effective at security tasks, with only 4% rating their staff as completely effective due to challenges with recruiting, retention, and ensuring staff have the right skill sets.
The document discusses data from MarshBerry showing that high-growth insurance agencies have a higher percentage of younger producers under age 40 compared to average agencies, with 41.1% of producers under 40 at high-growth agencies versus 28.4% at average agencies.

PROCUREMENT IN 2021 & BEYOND: PEOPLE, PROCESS, AND TECHNOLOGYJon Hansen
While technology obviously has an important role to play in laying the foundation for procurement’s transformation over the next year and beyond, it is one part of a trifecta for future success that also includes the evolution of talent (people) and
operating models (process).
To explore this further, Jon Hansen caught up with seasoned procurement and supply chain experts Dr. John Gattorna and Peter Woon on Zycus’ Expert Talk Series.
We’ve taken down the best bits from their engaging discussion and created this action-packed eBook for you.
How Digitization Will Change Procurement and the Supply ChainJon Hansen
I posed the following question to thought leaders from the practitioner, provider, and academic communities: "how will digitization change procurement and supply chain?"
In this article (page 4), I share their insights.
CPO ARENA Service Provider Synopsis (Nipendo)Jon Hansen
Nipendo is a procurement technology company that presented to a panel of CPOs on their supplier cloud solution. Their solution enables automation of the procure-to-pay process through integration with existing ERP systems. It allows for rapid supplier onboarding and streamlined processes. The panel found the solution to be impressive and delivering value through automation, but wanted more details on how it works and its positioning for mid-sized companies.
Making The Case: Logitech Repatriates ProcurementJon Hansen
Sure, all service providers provide client references on request. These are nothing new. However, what practitioners really want is for someone to interview the clients directly with a scrutinizing eye of understanding from both a technical as well as a practical standpoint to gain additional insight: a one-to-one, up close and personal perspective.
This "Making The Case" document provides that insight on the relationship between Logitech and Market Dojo.
Forget the stereotypes you may have heard about millennials:
Focus, purpose and commitment are the hallmarks of this critical segment.

Making The Case: ProcurePort Client TakeJon Hansen
This field services company needed to streamline its supplier acquisition and service delivery capabilities to combat urban blight in a cost-effective manner. It required a procurement platform to engage existing contractors and attract new suppliers with a simple interface accessible to both large national and small local providers. By implementing ProcurePort's solution, the company was able to publish service requirements to over 1000 suppliers instantly and allow electronic bidding to provide savings immediately. The ProcurePort system provided notable reductions in acquisition and onboarding costs while cutting spending and purchasing cycle times.
Digital Transformation of Procurement In 4 Basic StepsJon Hansen
The response to a Procurement Insights poll asking the question; “What is the most significant risk that procurement faces in 2020?” was telling in that the number one risk was not cyber-attacks, job security or supplier performance.
More than 40 percent of those who responded said that “digital strategy implementation” was the greatest risk procurement faces in 2020.
In this Knowledge Note, I will provide a breakdown of what is known as the Progressive Implementation Methodology. Based on four key elements or building blocks, this methodology will overcome the slow digital adoption and unfavorable outcomes associated with traditional consulting methodologies.
Bridging the Gap Between Finance and ProcurementJon Hansen
The document summarizes the findings of a survey of 440 finance and procurement executives regarding perceptions of procurement's performance and value. There is a significant gap between how finance and procurement leaders view procurement's effectiveness, with procurement having a more positive view. Specifically, close to half of finance leaders say 20% or less of procurement savings are dropping to the bottom line, while procurement leaders estimate a higher percentage is realized. The survey results suggest procurement functions could improve how they quantify and communicate savings and drive more value to increase financial results.
Looking beyond technology is the key to Procurement’s successful Digital Tran...Jon Hansen
A solid procurement process and practice is the essential foundation for a successful e-procurement initiative.
This article tells you why and how.

Women In Procurement - Equality Opportunity Means Equal PayJon Hansen
THE PROCUREMENT ITALIA MAGAZINE
Year 5 Number 3 - 2019
"It is the people within an organization who are responsible for digital success. To realize that success, we need more women to get in the game in multiple roles, starting with equal opportunity and equal pay."
Digital Transformation in Procurement 2018 Jon Hansen
This discussion paper examines the cultural effect or influence on the development, introduction, and successful implementation of a digital strategy from four key areas; home culture, generational culture, gender culture, and senior management culture.
Through the examination of these four areas, the reader will be able to determine the alignment of their current cultural environments, and use said understanding as a predictive tool for determining their organization's digital readiness and as a result the likelihood of initiative success.
Commercial credit report for Navistar International Corp.Jon Hansen
According to CreditRiskMonitor's FRISK® score - which has a 96 percent accuracy rate, Lisle, Illinois-based Navistar International Corporation could be in big trouble.
Outsourcing Procurement In The Public SectorJon Hansen
When the problems of weak institutional capacities, high costs, delays, and high integrity risks are systemic in a government, outsourcing the procurement function may be a sound option to consider, whether as a short-term gap-filling measure or as a longer-term strategic approach. - ADB Report

The letter protests the solicitation to replace the current electronic procurement solution, ProcureAZ, arguing that:
1) The contract terms restrict competition and favor large corporations like the state's ERP provider CGI.
2) State executives have shown bias toward CGI and predetermined the outcome.
3) Some requirements can only be met by CGI and exclude true competition.
4) The evaluation criteria deprioritizes cost, favoring more expensive solutions like CGI.
5) False statements were made to gain approval for the solicitation.

IACCM Top Companies In Negotiation 2009
1. Top Companies in Negotiation
IACCM Survey 2009
IACCM All Right Reserved 2009
2. TOP COMPANIES IN NEGOTIATION Page 2
Background
In 2008, IACCM published a highly acclaimed study and report on ‘The Most
Admired Companies in Post-Award Contract Management’. Building on this
success, the Association undertook a similar study in the period June to September
2009, to assess the most admired companies for negotiation.
As with the previous analysis, there was no established baseline to define the
characteristics of excellence in negotiation. While it would have been possible to
assemble a group of experts to establish criteria, there were concerns that such an
approach is inevitably subjective. It also creates difficulties in establishing which
companies are best, since any assessment would depend upon some process for
nomination and validation. Consequently such an approach becomes somewhat
exclusive.
For the study on contract management, IACCM sought the views of its worldwide
membership, asking them to tell us about the companies they admired and the
reasons for their view. We followed the same approach for the study on negotiation.
Firstly, since our members interact and negotiate with other companies on a
frequent basis, we believe their practical experiences offer unique insights.
Secondly, in depth interviews with the top performers in the previous study
appeared to validate this approach.
Our goal in undertaking this study is not so much about applauding a set of
winners. It has more to do with gaining attention for this important competency and
– in particular – enabling an objective analysis of the behaviors and characteristics
that enable success. Our primary goal is therefore to encourage the spread of good
negotiation practice. We aim to do this by highlighting top performers and
describing the approaches that helped them reach this position.
The results do not represent a judgment or view by IACCM. Indeed, we were also
surprised by some of the companies nominated by the membership and have
started to explore why they made these assessments. This report provides some
explanation of their views.

Findings
In conjunction with the survey of IACCM members, the Association worked in
partnership with Huthwaite, a leader in negotiation training and research. Together,
we organized interviews with 126 qualified participants, to understand the practices
and processes that influence negotiation capability at an organizational level. The
results of those interviews will be published at the end of October 2009.
This report focuses on announcing the winners of The Most Admired study. But as
part of that study, certain basic information also emerged.
Many believe that flexibility is the most important characteristic of ‘good’
negotiations. But in fact this survey reveals that quality of planning is
considered most important, with teamwork tied for second place with
flexibility.
The reason that planning matters so much is that it tends to confer
authority and clarity during the negotiation process. Those with whom we
negotiate are made more confident that commitments reflect capabilities.
This contrasts with the behavior of many sales groups which may offer
flexibility, but leave concerns that their promises will not be met.
The quality of teamwork is also fundamental to instilling confidence that
commitments are honest and will be honored. Both teamwork and planning
tend to result in greater responsiveness, avoiding the frustration of
requests disappearing into ‘a black hole’ or taking unacceptable amounts
of time to answer.

Planning and teamwork are typically accompanied by an ability to offer
clear and coherent explanations. It is critical for the other side to
understand why positions are being taken.

Figure 4: Key Characteristics
The companies that emerged at the top of our list of the most admired are not
necessarily renowned for their flexibility. Indeed, some are among the least
flexible.
Their success was based on the perception that they knew what they were doing,
they promised what they could achieve, they met their obligations and they were
able to explain their negotiating positions in ways that – if not entirely acceptable –
could be understood.
However, it is also evident that reputation is based on historic experience. Some of
the highly placed companies will do well to consider whether recent changes in
approach will damage their status.
Feedback from industry suggests that several of the leaders in our study have
responded to concerns about governance and the recession by becoming more risk
averse and introducing greater rigidity in their negotiations. This has led to
increasing complaints about their practices.

What Next?
Our hope is that this report will generate debate about the qualities it takes to be
good at negotiation. In conjunction with the previous study of post-award contract
management, it should offer companies the opportunity to consider their position
and to determine the need for improvement. Therefore we urge recipients to ensure
that executive management have visibility of the results and are encouraged to
support steps to build negotiation capabilities.
Overall, the ability to structure, negotiate and manage relationships through
successful contracts has become increasingly important to bottom-line success.
The companies doing well in these areas are also doing well in their overall
performance. While good contracting and negotiation are not in themselves drivers
of corporate excellence, it certainly appears to be the case that corporate
excellence will not be achieved in their absence.
