SSON Annual Industry Report: Redefining What's Possible

Technology has been driving the evolution of Shared Services since its inception more than three decades ago. And yet, never before have we experienced such extraordinary shifts in scope, value, and capability as over the past 18 months. This shift has been driven by nothing less than a fourth iteration of the industrial revolution based on robotic automation, but now, moving from manufacturing into services.

There has never been a more exciting time to work in Shared Services, to lead Shared Services’ evolution, or to take a seat at the executive table – at least for those who understand how to grasp the opportunities.

SSON’s annual market report highlights the underlying trends driving these shifts, identifies the ‘new and improved’ profile of a modern Shared Services team, and points to strategic value-add embedded within the Shared Services model.

We hope this report will guide you as you move forward.
