12:40 PM Keynote: Redefining GBS In the Next 10 Years: How Will Value Be Redefined, Measured and Delivered in the Future?

Today, shared services value is measured in cost, efficiency and productivity. In the near future, progressive companies will redefine value through intelligence, insights and strategic partnering. Join this session to hear what that would look like:

·       How value creation has evolved in the past decade and what are the key trends for the next 10 years?

·       Stepping beyond the term of “value-add” activities to understand what you can be doing to support your SSO and the wider organisation

·       Stepping up the play through intelligence and insights: how important is that and what are the key steps to move towards this direction?

·       Driving innovation around data, process and systems for greater value creation
