Texas A&M University: How We Achieved Enterprise Automation Without Pushback

Scheduled Dates:

• Pre-Recorded Webinar

• Description

  Pushback has always been the great destroyer of initiatives to institute enterprise-wide automation of business processes. Until now.

   

  Because some organizations are achieving the seemingly impossible: enterprise-wide automation initiatives that business units are racing to embrace.

  Balancing economy of scale without sacrificing business unit autonomy

  
  
  
  
  Soak up insights from Texas A&M University, a university that is already blazing a trail with shared
  student management services.
  
  Discover how they're massively multiplying the efficiency of campus-wide processes in key areas like contract management, procurement and digital records management.
  
  See how their success derives from a simple secret: enabling schools to retain individual control over things they value (such as forms, documents and decision criteria).
  
  You'll learn:
  • Why campus automation doesn't have to destroy the autonomy that drives your schools' success.
  • Why "one-size-fits-all" solutions are a recipe for disaster in a real-world university.
  • How to manage pushback risk in a way that will have your schools cheering you on rather than stabbing you in the back.
