“Creating Agility in the Digital World” is the theme of the 2016 European Best Practices Conference in London, October 4-6, organized by The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT).

The event will feature presentations by leaders in finance, EPM, procurement, HR, global business services and working capital management from 15 of the largest and most successful companies in Europe, including: ABB, ADP, BASF, Fujitsu, GlaxoSmithKline, Royal BAM Group, UCB, UPM and Verizon. In addition, The Hackett Group’s research leaders will host presentations focusing on the latest benchmark findings and best practices insights in a wide range of business functional areas.

Three workshops from The Hackett Group will also focus on: improving the effectiveness of GBS talent management, with a spotlight on the Certified GBS Professionals offering of The Hackett Group and CIMA; how to leverage EPM technology to achieve world-class performance; and how to transform procurement to improve agility in a digital age.

“Continued high volatility, risk of disruption and global recession are casting dark clouds over the business environment in 2016. In the face of this uncertainty, companies' ability to anticipate and swiftly respond to change – to be agile – is more important than ever,” said David Ketchin, Managing Director, Europe Practice, for The Hackett Group. “At this year’s European Best Practices Conference, we are highlighting effective strategies that leading companies are deploying to improve enterprise agility by developing specific capabilities related to culture, talent, digitization, information and customer-centricity. In the emerging digitally interconnected, customer-centric world, it’s critical for companies to successfully build out the right capabilities for achieving competitive advantage.”
