📍 Human Cloud Virtual Office

🗓️ Thursday, September 25, Noon EST

Overview

It’s budgeting and planning season for the next 4 months.

Every enterprise leader is under stress to have a flexible workforce strategy right now. They face the pressure of diminished budgets, downsizing, and the workforce preferring independence. Yet flexible talent spend is still less than 1% of total external spend.

After talking with at least 20 enterprise executives this past week at SIA, it’s clear that companies are struggling to integrate flexible talent within their existing contingent talent program, processes, and infrastructure.

In this month’s session we’ll focus on how enterprises can scale flexible talent in 2026.

We’ll discuss:

Opportunity and Business Case Development – Why enterprises need flexible talent and how to measure success
Change Management – How to overcome the yes…then crickets
Success Stories – How platforms and solutions have successfully scaled their flexible workforce
