Travel Talk: Seizing the Moment - From Travel Management to Travel Leadership

On-demand

Travel Talk

Tune in as Paul Dear reflects on the fast-growing remit of the Travel Manager job and discusses why gritty Travel Managers who redesign their business travel programs today have a chance to step up and deliver real strategic business value – from employee satisfaction and travel ROI to sustainability.

Paul will be joined by Cisco's Carlos Almendros, who is going to explain how he stays adaptive in the face of new demands and why he isn’t navigating the company's program updates alone, while Peter Scarr of TakeTwo Travel Solutions shares how organisations should ask their TMCs for the nimble, personalized service that their corporate travellers deserve.

This session is now available on-demand.
