Webinar details
Most internal comms pros didn’t get into the field to crunch numbers. But if you want to be taken seriously in budget conversations and compete with IT priorities like AI and enterprise search, you need to understand how enterprise budgeting really works.
Join Bob Strohmeyer and Phil Lacorte as they demystify the budgeting process and show you how to position your needs in ways IT and finance teams can get behind. You’ll learn how to think strategically about costs, spot opportunities to cut redundant spend, and make a stronger case for comms and productivity solutions.
You’ll walk away with:
- How enterprise tech budgets get decided
- Ways to tie your comms needs to bigger, cross-functional budget priorities
- Tips to calculate total cost of ownership (and highlight savings from tools you don’t need anymore)
- Practical steps to partner with IT and secure budget for solutions that drive impact
Budgeting isn’t just a finance exercise. It’s how you build influence. If you want a stronger voice at the table and the resources to make your programs stick, this session is for you.
