The recent Traxo webinar, "From Chaos to Clarity: Transforming your Travel Program with Modern Travel Management Tools", held on October 16, 2024, offered valuable insights into transforming corporate travel management. Moderated by Aash Shravah and featuring experts Kim Hamer from ResultsPlus Consulting, Sarah Hayden from ZS, and Olga Shchukin from Kenvue, the 45-minute session focused on equipping travel managers with strategies to modernize their programs for today’s volatile landscape.
The panelists highlighted the need to shift from outdated, static approaches to more dynamic, data-driven strategies, especially in the face of new challenges like the New Distribution Capability (NDC) and growing traveler safety concerns. The discussion was anchored in key strategies from Traxo’s new eBook, "The Travel Manager’s Toolkit," which emphasizes tools and methods to ensure programs remain agile and transparent.
A major focus was on eliminating invisible spend—bookings made outside of traditional channels—by using modern tools that offer real-time visibility. The risks of failing to adapt to these changes were also discussed, with the panelists stressing the importance of proactively managing travel programs to avoid exposure to invisible spend, safety risks, and loss of control.
The conversation also addressed the importance of traveler safety and satisfaction, emphasizing that today’s travel managers need to do more than just enforce policies. Instead, they must ensure real-time support and adaptability in an ever-changing travel environment.
In closing, the panelists encouraged travel managers to embrace the tools and strategies necessary to thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape. This webinar is essential for travel managers looking to future-proof their programs and stay ahead in today’s dynamic corporate travel industry.
