Shared & Business Services in Higher Education
Under pressure to be competitive in the marketplace, reduce cost, and increase productivity, many higher education institutions are in the process of implementing or expanding a shared services model. Adopting a shared services model delivers a host of benefits, from streamlined back-office operations, to lower operational costs, and increased transparency, accountability, and efficiency. These in turn bring positive financial and productivity rewards to the larger organization. Despite these clear benefits, implementing and (or) optimizing your SSO continues to be a challenge due to budgetary constraints, faculty resistance, high employee turnover, internal politics, stringent transparency requirements, and public and administrative scrutiny.
The 2019 Shared & Business Services in Higher Education conference brings together shared services leaders across all functions and maturity levels at institutions for higher learning. Over 3 days of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and roundtables, these leaders will address the challenges and identify the opportunities for shared services, and provide perspective on the implementation and expansion solutions within the public sector. Attendees will come away equipped to help their institutions to become be more competitive in today’s highly challenging, cost-sensitive, process-efficiency-driven marketplace.
Whether you’re just starting out or taking your SSO to the next level, by attending this you will leave this uniquely valuable conference with tools and strategies and a wealth of real-world
