The Extended Workforce – A New Approach

Authors:  Amy Dawson, Kevin Poll, & Jim Coughlin

We have created a Mastermind of Enterprise professionals to create and publish solutions for Contingent Workforce programs… from the perspective of Procurement and Talent Acqusition.

Why an Enterprise Mastermind?

“A Mastermind consists of two or more people who work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose.”  

Since January of 2021 several dozen Enterprise leaders in Talent Acquisition, Extended Workforce Management and Global Procurement have come together to solve common challenges.   The ClubVMSA Enterprise Mastermind group is an opportunity for leaders to share their ideas and solve challenges that they are passionate about.  It’s incredibly exciting to help address really important topics including: Diversity and Inclusion, Statement of Work (SOW), Direct Sourcing, Talent Acquisition, Supplier Optimization, and Self-Managed programs

We have an important mission

Our mission is to create and publish “Current Best Practices documentation” from the collective insight of all our mastermind participants.  Several senior leaders in Global Procurement, Talent Acquisition and Corporate Sourcing have been contributing to the topics listed above – openly sharing processes, program insights and lessons learned.  The goal is to have a “go-to” repository for any Enterprise Contingent Workforce leader to access and use.  

Do you have something to Contribute?

Two minds are better than one, and the more minds involved the merrier.  We are an inclusive group of Enterprise Leaders who welcome collaboration and connection.  Maybe you have insight, comments.

If you are an Enterprise Leader from Procurement or Talent Acquisition specializing in the Extended Workforce, Join our FREE monthly Mastermind Group Zoom Meetings the first Wed of every month.

The Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Because the information supplied to this list is authored by users of VMS Accelerator’s, Inc. site, we cannot be legally regarded as the “publisher or speaker” of that information. The same law applies to sites like Facebook or GlassDoor – users who post information on these sites are responsible for what they write, but the operators of the sites are not. This is also consistent with our website Terms of Use.

The reasons for this law are to protect free speech and to encourage the availability of information on the Internet. See generally Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018, 1027-28 (9th Cir. 2003) (recognizing, “Making interactive computer services and their users liable for the speech of third parties would severely restrict the information available on the Internet.”). See also Caraccioli v. Facebook, Inc., 167 F. Supp.3d 1056, 1065 (N.D. Cal. 2016) (purpose of CDA immunity is “to spare interactive computer service providers the ‘grim choice’ of becoming fully responsible for third-party content” by permitting them some ability to edit third-party content without also becoming liable for all defamatory or otherwise unlawful messages that they do not edit or delete.) We cannot possibly monitor the accuracy of the huge volume of information we are receiving for this list. If interactive websites were liable for information that the site did not create, this would restrict free speech, as fewer and fewer sites would be willing to permit users to post anything at all.
