These days, if you want to progress your career in finance or HR, be the person driving digital transformation or help your organization go global, then shared services is undoubtedly the place to be. Gone are the days when business services were merely transactional, servants to the business; modern global business services are empowering the enterprise through crucial data, bespoke services, and agile support. If you’re not there yet, no problem. SSO Week Europe Digital brings together best-in-class GBS organizations to talk about how you can become an engine for growth within your organization.
Via exciting keynotes and panel discussions we’ll discuss how to re-brand shared services as THE place to work, and a crucial driver of business. We’ll also be looking for the first time at how GBS can become drivers in sustainability and ESG and finally how you as a shared services professional can develop your career and leadership potential.
