I'm hitting the road again, heading to Boise for the Direct Selling Association Engage Technology + Operations Conference, June 12-13!   I'll be hosting a session titled "Deploying New Technology WithOUT Alienating Your Field."   In our fast-paced industry, staying ahead of the tech curve is essential. But it's equally important to ensure that migrating to new technology enhances, rather than hinders, the productivity of your sales teams. During this session, we’ll delve into strategies for seamless tech migration, effective onboarding, and training methods that work for even the most tech-resistant members of your field.   Join me as I share insights from our experiences successfully implementing cutting-edge tools without disrupting the workflow or morale of the salesforce.   Looking forward to connecting, sharing insights, and learning from each other at #DSAEngage. See you there!   #TechnologyIntegration #DirectSelling #Salesforce #Leadership #Innovation #TechTools

Check out another great blog post from your friendly and awesome #hcmtechnology experts at HRchitect. In today's Tech Trends Blog, Jacob Coburn talks about the importance of incorporating scope reviews and scope management into your project management process, to minimize risks and pave the way for success - https://lnkd.in/emDkMj5C “According to one study by the Project Management Institute (PMI), 52% of projects experienced scope creep or uncontrolled changes. These numbers alone should motivate project team members to want to participate in this process. So, what is the scope review process? This process is a collaborative step to ensure that the scope accurately reflects the mutual understanding between you, the client, and the project team. This review provides a detailed picture of the project’s scope and sets a strong foundation for successful project execution.” Read the blog to learn about Four Scope Review Objectives and more. #HRchitect is known as the firm that others turn to when all else fails.
