With that gap top of mind, Global Legal Operations leader Samantha Bates and her team began the hunt for a new solution. Finding a partner Despite Gore’s size and reach as an organization, they have strong guiding principles that keep them close-knit. With their philosophy of “the power of small ...

Rush University Medical Center , known for its excellence in patient care, education, and research, faced a significant roadblock in one of its core operational areas — procurement. The institution, comprising multiple medical centers and outpatient facilities, had long struggled with an inconsistent procure-to-pay process. This lack of cohesion led to poor contract tracking, extended approval times, and unnecessary costs. With services spanning different hospitals and healthcare units, Rush’s decentralized procurement process made it difficult to ensure contracts were consistently stored and properly reviewed. The absence of a streamlined system resulted ...

It's that time of year when things start to wind down and tasks like organizing that mess called your desktop (both IRL and on your computer) start making their way to the top of the list. One thing that I like to do as part of my year-end cleanup is bookmarking all of the browser tabs that I have had open for months.
