Buyers Meeting Point Weekly Update for April 27th, 2015

I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing, Kelly Barner.

NOTE: This week's recommended events include webinars on independent contractors and freelancers (SIG, Fieldglass), opportunity analysis (Rosslyn Analytics), and motivating and leading change (SIG, Denali). In this week's guest soundbite, I've pulled in audio that gives us another perspective on an interview series Coupa posted last week based on a conversation I had with their team about social media and supply market intelligence. In today's audio, David Hunt, Senior Manager of Risk Analytics and Indicators at IHS,  applies the social media intelligence gathering approach specifically to security and risk concerns. 

If you are interested in more, you can read the first of three Coupa posts here:
