This partnership comes at an opportune time: according to a 2014 survey, 30% of 800+ shared services, finance, procurement and HR executives told SSON that their SSC is in the Planning & Launching stage, with another 11% stated that they were in the Pre-Launch stage.
This will be the 19th year in which ScottMadden has partnered with SSON’s flagship North American series of events. Both arepioneers in shared services since the practice began decades ago, with ScottMadden now our principle lead sponsor. This year, ScottMadden’s own Brad DeMent will be the chairperson throughout the events four days, with Scott Manning being a member of SSON’s advisory board.
"Shared Services & Outsourcing Week is where we see the trends happening and momentum in shared services operations. It helps us understand where the trends are going and more importantly, where they’re not going," said Brad DeMent, Partner, ScottMadden in a previous interview.
To detail how Shared Services Implementation and Transformation are a focus for many practitioner organizations, Manish Belsare, Finance Shared Services Leader for Twitter, will host a Finance & Accounting Focus Group at the SS&O Week on Twitter’s story of Leveraging Shared Services. ScottMadden will also host two workshops, on the Fundamentals of Shared Services Implementation, and the Next Generation of Shared Services Operations.
The Shared Services & Outsourcing Week is a networking and benchmarking platform for SS&O practitioners, analyst firms and industry leaders, catering to executives from different functions (HR, Finance, Accounting, Procurement and Multi-Function), cross-industry (including Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Hospitality and Banking/Finance) and SSC maturities (Planning & Launching to GBS).
Confirmed speakers are CXOs, Global Heads, SVPs and Directors from companies including TD Ameritrade, Juniper Networks, Twitter, Nike, Facebook, Eli Lilly, MGM Resorts, Warner Bros. Entertainment. Tickets to the event, which takes place March 9-12, 2015 in Orlando, FL, are available on www.sharedservicesweek.com; conference pass fees will apply.
