Influencing End-to-End Process Optimization Across Functional Silos
Description:
To maximize the value of Shared Services, a broader enterprise view of how work flows across the enterprise needs to be considered. In most cases, the efficiency (or inefficiency) can significantly impact costs not only in Shared Services, but the entire company. Engaging non-Shared Services functions in these efforts can be extremely challenging.
This Peercast will feature a company that has made progress in this type of effort and they will share their experiences up to this point in time.
