Finding The Right Digital Partner For Your Business

It's easy to argue that having a digital strategy is important, but finding the right partner to turn ideas into a profitable business is more difficult. What's more choosing someone who also understands your industry and fits culture is arguably even more difficult.

This is an e-Consultancy event

As a client you might be asking:

• How do you go about the selection process and then choose the right digital partner to work with? • Have they done this kind of project before and for whom? Did they do it well?
• Do they understand what we do, how we operate and our procurement procedure?
• What is the impact on my position in the company if I hire these people?
• How can we get the best out of our relationship with a digital partner agency?
• Are we set up to manage the project and partner relationship effectively?
• Are they respected industry experts that will lead us and help gain competitive advantage?

The afternoon session will focus on how client side purchasers of digital services can ensure that they select the right partner by following best practice selection and procurement methods. We will also be taking some time to look at the future of the sector and how this might influence your supplier choice.

The session includes real examples from leading industry figures who have extensive experience of sourcing digital services and ensuring they made a real difference to their businesses.

Speakers include:

Phil Brown - Head of Procurement, NPower
Ross Sleight - Marketing and Operations Director for Virgin Games
Sam Sethi – Founder, Vecosys
