Shared & Business Services in Higher Education
According to SSON Analytics out of 2369 Higher Education Institutions in the US, only ~3% have started on their Shared Services. While Shared Services implementation can be complex and challenging, benefits are also substantial—from streamlined back-office operations, to lower operational costs, and increased transparency, accountability, and efficiency. However, with budgetary constraints, faculty resistance, high employee turnover, internal politics, stringent transparency requirements, and public and administrative scrutiny, higher education is slow in adopting and implementing a shared services model for their institutions.
Bringing together shared services leaders across all functions and maturity levels from public and private higher education institutions and university systems, The Shared & Business Services in Higher Education 2020 will focus on how higher education Institutions can reap the benefits of Shared Services; successful implementation strategies to avoid pitfalls; adding value through automation, process excellence, customer service, metric & data analytics; the benefits of stakeholder partnerships, talent management, and advisory services.
Regardless of where you are in your shared services journey, by attending this uniquely valuable conference, you will leave with tools, strategies and a wealth of real-world insight to transform your back off functions. You will be equipped to help your institution become more competitive in today’s highly challenging, cost-sensitive, process-efficiency-driven marketplace.
