COVID-19 and Impact on Shared Services: Tackling BCP & Re-Entry
For the past two months, global economies have been roiled by the effective shutdown imposed on business operations - both as a result of offices being closed as well as supply chains interrupted. So, with Shared Services operating at the heart of enterprise, how well is the model managing to maintain operations? The primary challenge for Shared Services across APAC is around people issues - managing a suddenly remote and disparate workforce and looking after the mental and physical state of employees. Of course, limitations around systems bandwidth, infrastructure and networks are all still critical concerns across the region.
During this session, we explore one companies' journey through COVID-19, their BCP strategy and how are they preparing for re-entry as business normalizes itself. RETHINK your operating model for enhanced business performance, employee impact, and sustainable cost and performance improvement.
- Service delivery risks in a work from home model (equipment, infrastructure, staff state of mind)
- How to make your plan fluid in order to prepare for ‘waves’ of change around the globe
- How do you transfer the outcomes into operational changes once business as usual state is restored
- Navigate re-entry challenges and opportunities

Goldfish or Shark...How Do You Use Your Data...
Decades of transactional processing experience tells us that the cleaner, the more structured and the more standardised the data, the easier it will be for GBS/SSO organisations to move up the value curve, execute on real-time insights, and leverage powerful analytics to support optimised decision-making at the front end of the business. If SSO/GBS organisations truly want a seat at the table to support strategy, they must show how the back ends of processes connect with the front end of business. In this session attendees will learn how to REIMAGINE the potential of data analytics to:
- Harness data, both master and transactional, to enact digital change from top to bottom
- Connect the data harnessed and captured in processes to support forward-looking thinking
