Innovation and Transformation for Mature Shared Services

Why should I attend Shared Services Summit 2008?

Shared Services is still about delivering the most efficient services at the lowest possible cost, but to position your SSO for maximum growth and strategic development, you need to become a valued business partner.

Shared Services Summit 2008 is the only Shared Services and outsourcing event that focuses exclusively on the issues that matter to mature Shared Services practitioners. During four information-packed days, you'll join over 250 experienced Shared Services and outsourcing professionals to explore how you can take your SSO to the next level and accelerate up the value-chain.

Who will I meet and who is speaking?

Shared Services Summit 2008 has sought out the pioneering individuals from behind some of the most consistently successful SSOs, so that you can harness their knowledge and return to the office ready to carve out new opportunities for strategic development and continuous improvment.

Perhaps you should enter the blue-Sky Innovation Room! Access is for pre-qualified delegates only though, so if you think that your level of Shared Services experience means you should be part of these discussions make sure you let us know when registering that you want to be pre-qualified to join this exclusive room.
