How to Build a Winning Culture in Your Shared Services Centre in the Age of Digital Transformation
Jacob Jacob -
Group Human Resources Officer,
Columbia Asia Healthcare
Strategy and culture are among the primary levers at top leaders’ disposal in their never-ending quest to maintain organizational viability and effectiveness. The approach provides clarity and focuses on collective action and decision making. It relies on plans and sets of choices to mobilize people and enforced by both concrete rewards for achieving goals and consequences for failing to do so. In this session, we suggest that culture can be managed to maximize its value through commonly used social and behavioral models.

Operating Model with Effective Organisation Change Management
Narendran V R -
Head of HR, Technology,
Standard Chartered Global Business Services
How to profitably deliver services to customers has become a defining challenge for businesses today. There are several reasons for this. One is because customers don’t just expect more; the expectations themselves also change quickly, radically shifting profits. The other is that executives face an increasingly complex landscape of technologies, methodologies, and both regulatory and compliance pressures to ensure that new processes are standardized and traceable. That is calling into question how businesses work, build skills, and deliver customer experiences.

- Foundations to scale your next-generation operating model

How the 2020 Most Admired SSOs Use Metrics & Benchmarking to Drive Serious Growth
Delia Dragon -
COO GBS KL and Associate Director – Order to Cash,
Eli Lilly Asia Pacific SSC Sdn Bhd, Global Business Solutions – Kuala Lumpur
SSOs have always been focused on monitoring KPIs and keeping close tabs on how benchmarking can drive best-in-class performance. However, practical application of all those numbers is different, and it can be a challenge to know if you are even evaluating the right numbers.
Ahead of SSOW Malaysia 2020, we asked about your top 3 challenge areas in terms of metrics/KPIs and what metrics you would most like to benchmark yourselves against. During this session, top practitioners from SSON’s 2020 “Most Admired SSOs” uncover these challenges and discuss the real business benefits from crunching the aggregated data of their peer set and beyond.
Participants will benefit from:
§ Hearing about top challenge areas in terms of metrics/KPIs and learning how to overcome them
§ Discovering top 3 ways to maximise shared services organisations metrics
§ Finding out how to normalise the data collection as you mature
§ Utilising roadmap forecasting to establish a baseline for simulating future data for comparison

Unlocking Further Value & Growth through Centres of Excellence
Adib Kheireddine -
Global Process Owner Director, Global Business Services,
Celestica
As the name implies, centers of excellence (or CoEs) work as a centralized service that scoops up the best capabilities, insights, and knowledge from disparate sources within the organization, optimizes their value and then delivers them as a service throughout the business. In this way, organizations cannot only graft great ideas from one plant or location onto another but also reduce duplication and redundancies across the enterprise.
- A rebalancing of corporate outsourcing strategies
- Define value upfront and get the right stakeholders on the bus
- Culture of experimentation and finding the right talent
- Unlocking business value through process improvement or change management
