Epiq Session
Lost in Translation? Learn the Language of Your CFO
April 11 | 12:45 - 1:45 p.m.
Your CFO and Procurement teams are getting more involved in legal department management and setting expectations for spend analysis. Legal and Finance alignment requires a shared understanding and approach to spend measurement, and common language:
- What is the difference between cost savings and cost avoidance, and how should they be applied to an ROI analysis?
- How should baselines be established to drive effective spend comparisons?
- How is “value” defined and assessed in the context of the business’s objectives?
This interactive workshop will share case studies and best practices for legal operations leaders to develop effective spend analyses. In the session, attendees will create a persona profile for their finance department and receive a ‘Guide to Effective Spend Management’ with a terminology glossary and checklists to guide all spend analysis stages (planning, calculations, negotiations, and reconciliation).
