European Event of the Year

We've just returned from the annual European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week which was held in Edinburgh, Scotland at the end of May. A great opportunity to network with practitioners from across Europe and an excuse for a party!

The G8 -- now a fixture on the SSON's conference circuit -- saw some of our leading consultants and providers defend themselves against the questioning mind of UK broadcaster Fiona Bruce and the audience at large. G8 is THE point at which the industry confronts consultants and service providers about the nature of sourcing relationships and has become a key draw at these conferences. We'll be posting the whole debate online.

The 2010 European SSON Awards put the spotlight on Diageo Business Services Budapest (Best Mature Captive Services), UBS Poland Services (Best New Captive), and WNS Global Services & Lastminute.com (Best New Outsourced Services) -- but also on the Service & Personnel Veteran's Agency & HP (Best Mature Outsourced Services). The winner of the "Thought-leader of the Year" Award was Tom Olavi Bangemann, Vice President, Business Transformation, from The Hackett Group. Check the web site for winning awards applications later this month.
