In today's digital environment, organizations are increasingly adopting various methods
to digitize their business operations. This involves streamlining internal processes and
enhancing the efficiency and speed of service delivery to customers. Shared services
organizations (SSOs) play a crucial role in this digital transformation by providing
essential technical and administrative support in areas such as finance, human
resources, and IT. The dynamic nature of the market compels companies to
continuously adapt and innovate, as competition emerges globally. This summit aims to
highlight the importance of innovation in shared services, encouraging leaders to
rethink their operating models and fully leverage digital capabilities.
The journey of shared services is marked by evolving dimensions and challenges. The
shift towards Global Business Services (GBS) as a value driver necessitates a re-
evaluation of talent and leadership roles within shared services. Additionally, the future
landscape of shared services is being shaped by rapid advancements in automation and
the need to adapt to a dynamic global business environment. Companies must navigate
these changes while discovering innovative strategies to create and sustain value in an
interconnected world. These challenges require organizations to stay ahead of trends
and continuously innovate to maintain competitiveness.
To address these challenges, the summit will bring together exceptional veterans from
various industries within the shared services space. These experts will share best
practices, insights, and experiences, emphasizing the importance of creating Centers of
Excellence (COEs) within shared services. From pilot phases to full performance, COEs
can drive successful change management and business model innovations. By learning
the mantras that unlock value and exploring the art of bridging gaps and breaking silos,
organizations can achieve tangible business outcomes while fostering shared
accountability across borders.
In this 16th Edition Shared Services Summit & Awards 2025,
Attendees will gain a
comprehensive understanding of why leaders need to prioritize innovation in shared
services. They will explore evolving trends, including the shift towards Global Business
Services and the impact of automation. The event will provide insights into successful
change management strategies and the creation of Centers of Excellence. Also, you can
learn how to bridge organizational gaps and break down silos to deliver measurable
business results, all while embracing the principles of shared accountability and
collaboration in a global context.
