Session A: Defining Your Business Needs to find the right solution

Companies routinely do themselves a disservice by presenting software vendors with descriptions of required features. When this occurs, the company seeking a solution and the software vendor are talking about software features instead of how to solve business problems and add value. Instead, when identifying needs, they should be defined as business requirements not software features.
This session will demonstrate how to think about your company’s needs in terms of business value along with techniques for defining and communicating those needs. Attendees will then participate in an exercise to help define the needs that are specific to their organization.

Session D: Implementation Strategy for Successful User Adoption

Launching a new data management system means changing the way your users will be expected to do their jobs. It may also mean a change in processes used by your company. A critical component to a successful implementation of a new system is a strategy to engage and align key leadership and users to ensure support and adoption. 
Attend this session to learn about the approach used by General Mills during their successful system design and implementation in 2011 and 2012. A key component for this success was a defined user adoption plan that involved building leadership support, engaging key champions, communication, promotion, training and ongoing support. The session will also feature a critical assessment of what went well and not so well, as well as a discussion to gain tips for your own organization.
