COVID-19 has hit the reset button on travel programs, turning long relied on metrics and benchmarks for success obsolete when looking towards the rebound. In the wake of rising traveler safety and risk management priorities, does the focus need to shift to more qualitative metrics? And, with so much in flux, how do procurement managers define the biggest areas of opportunity when navigating the negotiation landscape?
Speaking with FCM’s Clodagh Flannagan, Director of Enterprise Sales; Mike Cox, Senior Consultant of FCM Consulting; and Benjamin Park, Director of Procurement & Travel at Parexel, we unpack key trends happening in travel procurement, how to measure what matters, and how to communicate that upwards in your organization.
