SSON's Annual State of the Shared Services Industry Report – Europe

Add bookmark

How Are European shared services taking advantage of five influential "service" drivers?

With much of the discussion around shared services evolution hinging on new opportunities that have only presented themselves in recent history, we wanted to know just how SSOs are positioning themselves to become more relevant and offer improved value in the near future.

As a frame of reference, we identified five levers that present opportunities for added value, namely: People & Development; Data Analytics; Digitalisation; redefining "Value" itself; and Organisational Design.

The global report is already available on SSON's website, but ahead of SSO Week Europe 2016, we have highlighted how this region is positioning itself.
