DESCRIPTION

Join an interactive discussion about how to effectively set expectations, manage requirements, and get buy-in across the enterprise to successfully launch CRM. To kick off the conversation, Babson College will share how they were initially just looking for a CRM solution, but soon realized that they needed to revamp business processes, systems, and technology from the ground up. World Learning will share how implemented Salesforce to three distinct business entities within one enterprise Salesforce environment for better cross-entity collaboration. You should walk away with shared ideas, best practices, and lessons learned from your peers as to how to manage change and adoption.
