Cut through the noise. Get clear on what matters.
In this session, we covered:
The wishlist trap:
Why most RFPs become a brain dump of requirements — and how to build one that reflects your actual operational needs instead.
Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves:
How to cut through the noise, prioritise what actually matters, and avoid selecting the vendor with the best sales response rather than the best fit.
The frontline gap:
Why frontline usability is the most overlooked evaluation criteria — and how to properly test it before you sign anything.
Beyond the product:
How to assess implementation, change management, and vendor partnership — the things that determine whether a platform succeeds long after go-live.
