8:55 AM Keynote: The Contingent Workforce Reality Check: What's Actually Changed And What Hasn't

As contingent programs mature, leaders are under pressure to deliver more value with fewer resources while managing growing complexity. This keynote cuts through the hype to examine what has truly shifted in workforce strategy, technology expectations, and stakeholder demands, and where old assumptions are quietly holding programs back.

Actionable Takeaways:

    • Identify the three outdated assumptions most mature programs are still operating under
    • Reframe program success metrics beyond cost and fill rate
    • Prioritize the next 12–18 months of program focus based on real enterprise constraints
