2:10 PM EXPERT TALK | How to Pivot Shared Services from Savings to Strategic Value
Shared services has been trapped in the cost-savings narrative for decades but endless efficiency drives have hit diminishing returns and eroded stakeholder trust. This session reveals how fundamentally reposition SSOs from transactional cost centers to strategic value creators that drive innovation, enable growth, and deliver measurable business impact beyond the P&L.
Key Takeaways:
• Why the cost-savings playbook is exhausted and what metrics actually demonstrate shared services value today
• Practical frameworks to identify and quantify value creation opportunities beyond traditional efficiency gains
• Stakeholder engagement strategies to reset expectations and gain investment for value-driven transformation initiatives
