Measured and Managed - Getting More Out of Your Corporate Travel Data
Monday, 3 October 2011 | 9:00 – 10:15
This white paper does provide a snapshot of how some of the best and brightest in corporate travel are getting more out of their data. They genuinely are managing as well as measuring, identifying challenges in what the data tells them and then taking positive action to make their programmes even better. There is definitely no “one size fits all” approach to data management, but many of the best practice lessons reported here would translate well to other organisations.
