We are in the midst of crafting the new programme for 2020. In the meantime, take a sneak peek at our preliminary agenda**.

** As this is a preliminary agenda, the programme is subject to change. 

This Visual Analytics Workbook (VAW) will cover significant trends in Asia-Pacific’s Shared Services & Outsourcing Industry. It will:

• Begin with a landscape of Shared Services 
• Introduce ‘agile’ as a project management methodology for Global Business Services (GBS)
• Feature insights from Shared Services professionals about how Asia can maintain its competitive edge
• Dive into the scope of Centres of Excellence (COEs) and the challenges in building a COE
• Cover challenges faced by outsourcing providers
• Share benchmarks on attrition and finance & accounting (F&A) from SSON Analytics’ global benchmarking study

Take a look at the VAW and navigate your way through the report. 

The shared services market is being transformed by a growing emphasis on centres of expertise (COEs), which is indicative of a continuous industry commitment to improving productivity and efficiency.

This is particularly evident in the finance expertise, RPA and intelligent automation, and IT support sectors in Asia, where data analytics or management, HR expertise, and automation audit and controls make up the bulk of the focus for COEs.

Nevertheless, industry players must be keenly aware of the key differences between shared services and COEs. To dig deeper into this aspect of the business, we speak with Siddhartha Banerjee, who currently spearheads the UI-UX COE at Vodafone Shared Services in India.

In this report, Banerjee elaborates on these differences, and how they can be used such that shared services and COEs can complement each other for improved outcomes in productivity and efficiency.
