8:00 AM WORKSHOP A: Shared Services: From Building Blocks to Breakthroughs

Shared Services in Latin America are evolving fast. For many organizations, the first challenge is designing a solid foundation — defining scope, building governance, and achieving cost savings. But the real opportunity lies ahead: how to transform Shared Services into a driver of speed, accuracy, and business insight. In this workshop, we’ll cover both ends of the spectrum. For those just getting started, we’ll demystify the fundamentals of building a high-performing Shared Services model. For the more mature, we’ll explore how advanced automation and AI are already reshaping service delivery — and we’ll demonstrate live prototypes that show what’s possible today. Whether you’re in “Shared Services 1.0” mode or pushing into 2.0, you’ll walk away with a clear playbook for where to begin, what to avoid, and how to leap ahead. This isn’t about buzzwords — it’s about how to design, scale, and transform Shared Services for what comes next.
