Thoughts and ideas

How to optimize procurement and finance operations was of course high on the agenda. What is great is the connection to strategic goals and outcome.

Frida Hanson, Essity

Digitization – on everybody’s agenda but how do you go from idea to execution? How do you ensure you optimize across the organization? Frida Hanson at Essity gave a great summary of how Essity choose to enable company wide automation and digitization.

Skill-sets – when you change ways of working, competences need to develop too! Consider you ask of your team to continuously improve – and that improvement may mean changed ways of working. How do you encourage that? There were several discussions focusing on this area.

Technology – EBG managed to gather almost all prominent system and solution providers in this area! An early poll asked what the room considered to be The most important success factor securing end to end thinking (view the results below). Bad news for system providers?

Not at all. It is about time buyers of technology realize that change management need to be an ongoing factor – with or without technology – if any of the strategies created are to come true.

EBG hosted change management focused workshops a couple of years back and our workshop leader emphasized the following;

You need to use 20% of the time allocated to planning and 80% following up. I’m not saying how much time that mean – but the ration need to be that if change is to happen.

Pontus Wadström

At the same time – technology will enable you to connect the dots once you have digitized processes. Much needed as we asked the below question live.

What ever your challenges are and what you opportunities you are seeking to develop – an informal ways of learning from others can be really valuable. Therefor EBG hope to see you irl next time!
