Imagine if you could sit down with peer and discuss challenges and opportunities you are not quite sure how to solve. Or if you could sit down and share a progress and get peer feedback and a discussion comparing how others did the same.
Next year will be the ninth time EBG | Network host Source 2 Pay Summit in Stockholm. We are happy to welcome Annika Karlsson, Project Manager Purchase-to-Pay at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems who will be moderating Theme Discussions focusing on how to align company cultures and habits. Or should you even?
Even though the world is shrinking due to globalization and tools make it easy to communicate and share workflows – people are people and we are different. It is an interesting discussion how far you should stretch One common way of working. Easy on paper but so much harder in real life!
EBG have a live poll (found >>here feel free to share your experiences – it is completely anonymous!) and out of those answering, local processes seem to be in favor, tightly followed by global p2p processes.
