Peer-Tested Best Practices
The best way to understand the “how” behind adjusting your process is to take a deep dive into another AP function’s journey. These sessions will provide first-hand accounts from your peers on what worked and what they would have done differently, giving you a leg up as you consider undergoing similar changes.
It’s never been more important to find ways to process payments more efficiently. But how you achieve that goal is far easier said than done. Join your peers as you benchmark your current performance, understand what internal dynamics are holding you back, and what strategies work best to manage your team through your process changes.
Sample sessions include:
• Managing Through Change
• AP Benchmarks
• AP / Procurement Friction
• Operational Best Practices
