Fast track your programme success

How are you tracking toward your 2019 goals? Have you implemented the right strategies to see the results you wanted?

If you feel like it might be time to revisit your plan, you’re in luck. Beeline gathered over 300 of your industry peers at our customer conference recently, and asked them to share where they’re seeing the biggest impact at their organisations. Three strategies kept bubbling to the surface. From intelligent talent acquisition to ensuring your programme is never stuck in place, we’re spilling the secrets.

Don’t accept diminishing returns

Many relationships start with the best intentions and the promise of forever. But sometimes, we lose sight of that along the way. Your relationship with your VMS provider is no different.

If you’re in need of a reboot, download this guide to best-in-class programmes. In it, we list six areas of focus that should be front and center—like having a multi-faceted talent pipeline strategy and tapping into workforce analytics that help you make better decisions. Challenge your VMS provider to create a new roadmap for what success looks like to you.

Don’t let lackluster ideas and solutions stop you from reaching new heights. Put your VMS to the test to see if they’re in it for the long haul.

Discover what’s possible

If your VMS programme goals haven’t changed since launch, you’re treading water. If your provider isn’t driving you forward, take matters into your own hands. Check out the latest Ardent Partners report: the annual study found 71% of business leaders feel pressure to adapt, and it’s changing how they get work done.

Are you feeling it, too? Download the report to see how industry leaders have moved beyond blocking-and-tackling to get closer to total workforce optimisation.

• The specific strategies and solutions powering best-in-class programmes
• What you can do now to prepare for the Future of Work

Relationships vs. roadblocks

The relationship between your VMS, your MSP partner, and your team should be an asset—not a roadblock. If you got off on the wrong foot or have drifted apart, you’ll never experience the value that true partnership brings.

We have a few ideas when it comes to what makes a great VMS partnership. Download our checklist before your next account review to:

• Set a communication cadence that fosters ongoing improvement
• Share expectations for enabling MSP or in-house programme office success
• Ask for more proactive, strategic support

Whilst having a VMS provider makes your programme run, having a VMS partner takes you where you need to go.

The best-of-breed route wins

Flexible. Nimble. Agile. Your VMS technology should adapt to your needs, not the other way around. Many source-to-settle suites are powerful in size, but lack the rapid innovation necessary to help businesses along in their digital transformation.

The proof is in the numbers. Gartner found that just over half of respondents in a recent survey use a single P2P suite, but of those, 64% are only doing so within a single region or country. In a new report, Gartner lays out its recommendations for choosing the right technology strategy to meet your specific needs.
