2006 was the year that this conference last visited the beautiful
city of Lisbon. Although just 10 years ago – the world in which we
now operate is very different. The digital age is truly upon us. It
affects not only how we do business, but how we interact with one
another and how we behave as consumers and employees.
While many businesses have started to adopt these digital
technologies, most shared services and Global Business Services
organisations have much work to do. Do you have a single ERP
platform, enhanced with process specific enabling technologies,
robotic process automation and cognitive technology? Have
you eliminated the need for manual intervention in transaction
processing so that your colleagues can focus solely on analytics
and other value creating activities? If you can answer yes to these
questions this conference is not for you – you are pretty much
done! But we have seen very few organisations that are anywhere
near this vision – despite the fact that these technologies are now
all available.
These topics will form the basis of many of our discussions this
year – steered by an expert panel of speakers from Deloitte and
companies such as: AstraZeneca, Akzo Nobel, BT, Campbell Soup
Company, Computacenter, Diageo, ESPAP, GE, Hampshire County
Council, ISS, Johnson & Johnson, Lloyds Bank, Procter & Gamble,
Siemens, Solvay, Sonae Sierra, Tarmac, Tetra Pak, & Vodafone.
Specific topics for discussion include:
•Is this the age of Global Business Services? Is Global Business
Services a stand-alone model or simply an evolution of shared
services? How do you set a course for success?
• Robotics – are we on the verge of a revolution? To what extent
will robotics change the make-up of our future workforce?
•Social media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) – have
applications in the workplace now caught up with applications on
the street? Where should you invest?
•The war on talent – how do you attract and retain a globally
mobile workforce? What technologies do you need in your
arsenal to get the most from the tech-savvy generation Y?
• Analytics – how do you extract and use ‘big data’? Where does
the true value lie? What does this mean for the role and make up
of shared services centres?
•Continuous Improvement (CI) – what do we now recognise as
being best practice and how can you push the boundaries in your
CI approach. What additional value can be unlocked this way?

Plenary sessions
These sessions are targeted at all conference delegates. Plenary sessions will pick up on what we
consider to be the most pertinent topics this year led by influential shared services, Global Business
Services and BPO leaders. There will also be a number of panel sessions, where leaders in their fields
will debate some of the key topics of interest in the industry today.
Breakout sessions
These sessions are designed to give delegates the opportunity to explore specific topics in detail.
They will be facilitated by subject matter experts who have deep knowledge of the topic. These subject
matter experts will either guide you through the latest trends and thinking, or share with you practical
advice from their own organisations to inspire you to make a change when you return to the office.
Discussion forums
The discussion forums are your opportunity to discuss topics of interest with your peers and share
insights and experience within a smaller group in a less formal setting. A subject matter expert will be
on hand to provide facilitation and structure to the meetings, but there will be no PowerPoint slides.
Analytics demonstrations
These demonstrations will show how analytics can be applied to solve business questions, by
delivering previously-hidden insight from data available both inside and outside an organisation. At the
conference we will showcase a selection of demonstrations relevant to Finance, HR and other topics
which will be of interest to the audience.

Plenary 2: Vodafone – Implementing a large mixed ownership Global Business Services model
Over the last seven years Vodafone has built one of the largest Global Business Services organisations in the world. It is now
home to some 19,000 people providing a wide range of services including finance, HR, IT, customer operations and procurement.
Whilst the debate continues as to whether the landlord or owner model is preferable in a Global Business Services organisation,
Vodafone’s model combines both. Steve McCrystal will drill down into a number of interesting areas including:
• Which works best; the owner or landlord model, and why?
• How Vodafone is progressing with numerous robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) pilots and what the long-term impact and
benefits of these technologies are likely to be.
• Why Vodafone now sees its Egypt Global Business Services location as one of the best, with language skills comparable to
Eastern Europe and costs close to India.
• How Vodafone has managed to grow so rapidly whilst keeping its internal customers on board.

Plenary 3A: AstraZeneca – The case for functional shared services
While many organisations have migrated to a Global Business Services model over the past few years most still focus on
optimising their existing functional shared services, often supported by one or more BPO providers. AstraZeneca (AZ) is one such
organisation. During this session Tony Glynn will focus on:
• Why AZ has so far resisted the move to a Global Business Services model.
• How it has renegotiated its finance BPO contract to an outcome-based deal where the BPO provider has far greater
accountability.
• How you can still get end-to-end, cross-functional process benefits without having multiple functions under one Global
Business Services roof.
Tony Glynn, Former Vice President Global Finance Services, AstraZeneca
10:10
Plenary 3B: Panel – HR shared services in the Cloud: A silver lining or thunderstorm on the horizon?
Today we cannot open an HR webpage or magazine without the mention of Cloud – HRs most disruptive weather system. Since
the introduction of the HR Cloud, over 15,000 organisations buried their legacy ERP systems and entrusted the heavens with their
precious HR data, records and processes. This has brought a step change in the approach to design and delivery of HR shared
services, better suited to a highly mobile customer base, demanding 24/7 access to HR anywhere any time. Customers want and
need more, which is driving the next phase of HR transformation and HR service delivery.
In this plenary, we hear from three worldwide market leaders in their business area about their journey to the Cloud and the
effect it has had on their service delivery model for HR.

Breakout 1: Panel – Will Robotic Process Automation truly transform the shared service operating model?
Whether or not you are of the opinion that the term ‘robotics’ is nothing more than a clever marketing ploy – the technology and
application within shared services has gained significant traction and seems to be here to stay. During this session we will draw
on experience from a number of companies who have already implemented robotics to debate:
• To what extent can robotics penetrate the processes typically performed in shared services?
• Robotics is making head-way, but will robotics truly transform the make-up of the workforce in a shared services organisation?
• Does robotics now present a valid alternative for going offshore and even BPO?
Panel to be chaired by David Wright, Deloitte
Breakout 2: Panel – Trends within public sector shared services
In this panel our UK Public Sector Lead for shared services Deborah Gregg will lead a discussion on the unique success factors
that enable the establishment and management of shared services in the public sector. The discussion will explore areas such as:
• Stakeholder and people engagement in a complex political environment.
• Advances in technologies – which ones are gaining traction in the public sector market.
• How to accelerate the speed of change.

Breakout 3: ISS – Developing a mature relationship with BPO providers: Maximising potential and adding strategic value
Founded in 1901, ISS has grown to become one of the world's leading facility services companies. It offers local operations
in more than 50 countries across the globe, serving thousands of public and private sector customers. In 2014, ISS selected
Cognizant as its strategic BPO partner to provide Finance and Accounting (F&A) business process services across all territories
to enhance quality, further optimise and align their finance processes and reduce costs. The transformation will take place over
a period of 7 years. As BPO Director, Lars Nordestgaard Nielsen has overall responsibility for this transformation. During this
session Lars will provide insights into:
• The approach and strategy behind this transformation.
• How you can select and establish a relationship with a BPO provider that allows you to derive and capture continued strategic
value.
• ISS’s transition to BPO – including achievements to date, challenges encountered and lessons learned.
Lars Nordestgaard Nielsen, BPO Director, ISS
Breakout 4: Computacenter – War stories from the front line. The battle to retain talent in Budapest
The BPO and shared services centre market is booming. The days of these centres being purely ‘back office’ are over and
employees want, need, and demand more. With mature markets saturated with shared services centres, the war for talent is
on. Employees treat employers as a commodity, if the product (employer) doesn’t work for them, they can easily change and
pick another product off the shelf. Computacenter’s shared services centre in Hungary has invested to drive overall employee
engagement, keep a lid on attrition and generate improvement initiatives with impressive results. Jamie Davies will share
practical ideas with impressive results on:
• The agile framework you can put in place to ensure you hire people with values that match, improve overall employee
engagement and reduce flight risk.
• The focus on developing the emotional intelligence competencies of managers and team leaders.
• Doing this in parallel to improving efficiency, service delivery and expanding scope.
• How you can get buy-in for this investment from the wider business.

Breakout 5: Becoming an insight-driven organisation. The role of shared services and global business services in
enterprise-wide analytics
Analyst firm IDC estimate that, by 2020, the amount of digital data produced will exceed 40 zettabytes (or 44 trillion gigabytes).
To put that figure in perspective, that’s the equivalent of generating 5,200 GB of data for every man, woman and child on Earth.
Organisations are already beginning to leverage data and analytics to provide better customer service, improve operational
efficiency and development of new products and services, as well as to enhance the decision-making process. But how can
shared services or Global Business Services organisations build sustainable analytics capabilities which consistently deliver value
to the business. In this workshop, David Anderson & Natalie Williams will explore:
• How centralised analytics capabilities in shared services can not only drive operational effectiveness, but how the shared
services can become the engine room for analytics.
• Non-technical elements of analytics, including putting in place an analytics strategy.
• Finding the right talent, organising for success, and developing an ‘insights process’.
• Building credibility for analytics led out of the shared services.
David Anderson & Natalie Williams, Deloitte
Breakout 6: Will Global Business Services/SSCs prove to be the pioneers of technology-led workplace innovation? Or an
opportunity missed…?
With the ever-increasing “collision” and complexities of corporates’ talent, technology, global location and physical workspace
agendas, this session brings together a diverse range of Deloitte and Herman Miller research to question whether the Global
Business Services/SSC environment should be the pioneer of the “future of work”, successfully capturing the benefits of
technology-led workplace innovation, the energies and aspirations of the Millennial workforce and the power of the connected
corporation. Or will it be an opportunity missed?
The session will demonstrate how innovative organisations are already tearing up the rule book of functional and “departmental”
thinking of the past half-century to adapt to the hybrid workforce and teaming models of tomorrow. And how this approach is
coming through in the innovative blending of talent, technology, location and workplace decisions in Global Business Services/
SSC environments.

Breakout 7: Transforming your Tax operating model
Increasingly organisations are reviewing their tax function to determine the optimal mix of insourced and outsourced capabilities,
leveraging their Global Business Services structures where possible. This session will explore how Deloitte has partnered with
a global corporation to transform their EMEA Corporate Income Tax Return process through the establishment of a captive
centre of excellence (CoE) for Corporate Tax activities. It will also focus on the client’s mixed model, partnering with Deloitte Tax
capabilities to deliver compliance across Europe.
James Tooley & Demian de Souza, Deloitte
Breakout 8: J&J – Continuous Improvement (CI) within P2P: How they used CI in the P2P process to improve effectiveness
and grow the organisation
J&J started its shared services journey in Europe over 10 years ago with the establishment of a centre in Prague focusing in on
Procure to Pay. Following its early success, the centre’s scope quickly expanded and today the organisation consists of around
400 employees delivering services in the area of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Reporting and Closing,
Master Data, Transition, Testing and Indirect Tax. Over the next two years, the organisation will expand beyond finance to
bring into scope around additional 300 FTEs delivering Procurement and HR processes in a bid to standardise and centralise
all ‘support’ activities in Europe. This scope is also in line with the 4 other regional J&J centres around the globe. According to
David Mansfeld, one of the foundations for the centre’s success has been the establishment of a Continuous Improvement (CI)
framework operated in collaboration with a network of global process owners. Here, David will illustrate how this approach has
been applied – with specific examples in the P2P space:
• The creation of a CI team to support and optimise the P2P process – with real life examples.
• Enabling technologies used in P2P.
• How the CI framework is applied and the role of the global process owners.
• Plans to evolve the CI approach and framework to fit the new global services model.

Breakout 9: Celgene – Delivering statutory reporting in shared services centres
Celgene’s international Finance team, based in Neuchatel, Switzerland, has benefited from the management and delivery of their
statutory accounts by Deloitte and they have now invested in technology to enable the insourcing of the statutory accounting
process into their Shared Services Centre. Celgene manages together with Deloitte the production of statutory accounts for over
40 legal entities, covering Europe & APAC. The insourcing project is phased and focusing on key EMEA jurisdictions for the first
year of insourced production. Celgene has deployed a secondary ledger for entities managed in-house and is leveraging our
Deloitte GAAP conversion tool for other jurisdictions. This session will cover:
• Key components of an integrated statutory accounting and corporate tax process.
• Outsourcing vs insourcing: key considerations.
• Roadmap to insource – Objectives of the insourcing, how to leverage the benefits of the outsourcing to facilitate the insourcing
project, Project Plan: design & implementation and management of the plan.
• Year One – Debrief on experience.

Visual Decision Xccelerator™ (VDX) – ‘what if’ shared services/GBS scenarios assessment tool
Many organisations are now thinking about how best to implement analytics capabilities and how far analytics can transform
how business decisions are made. Deloitte’s Visual Decision Xccelerator™ (VDX) is an example of how analytics can transform the
way data analytics is used to make business decisions. VDX provides real-time, visual representation of the impacts of key options

Breakout 1: Tarmac – Transforming control and compliance with enabling technology
The merger of two large organisations (in March 2013 by the merger of Anglo American’s Tarmac and Lafarge’s UK operations)
with different systems, processes, people and locations brought challenges to the formation of Tarmac’s shared service centre.
Despite a less than ideal foundation for establishing a shared services centre, it continues to face the same challenges that any
centre does: demands from the business for better and more cost-effective service. At last year’s conference Andrew shared his
insights into the challenges the team faced and how they managed successfully to accelerate stabilisation at the same time as
improving services. Now stabilised, its organisation has shifted into delivering better controls and compliance through enabling
technology. Andrew Parris will share:
• A brief history of the centre and progress since the 2015 conference.
• How they identified and selected technologies to improve controls and compliance – the Blackline solution.
• The change management approach around the technology implementations.
• How they have moved from stabilisation to optimisation – what that means for the make-up of the team.
Andrew Parris, Director of Shared Services, Tarmac – a CRH Company
Breakout 2: Shared services & Global Business Services feasibility
Though many organisations are tempted to skip this stage, a feasibility study is an important step in transforming your backoffice functions. Whether you are just starting out or looking to redefine your business model, the foundations you lay during this
time will be critical to achieving your desired vision and end goals. It’s also an important tool in your change management arsenal.
So how do you justify this investment and make the most out of this? During this session, Dorthe Harding Keilberg will share her
recipe for success, including:
• Key steps: why it’s important to start by defining a clear vision.
• Tried & tested tools and techniques.
• How you can get the maximum stakeholder engagement even in the early stages: what skill sets will you need and where in
your organisation should you source these?
• Considerations when building a robust business case: to what extent is it worth trying to quantify ‘value’ above and beyond FTE
head count savings?
• How do you prepare to realise the benefits lined up?
Dorthe Harding Keilberg, Deloitte
Breakout 3: BPO panel
We are moving into a new phase of relationships in BPO contracts. As we enter the age of third and fourth generation deals,
a number of companies are looking to leverage more than just the labour arbitrage and technical innovation provided, and are
wanting to build deeper partnerships, with more tightly integrated teams and new ways of working. However, the road to this
new world of BPO is not smooth and there are significant barriers to be overcome. During this panel, we will discuss, benefits and
challenges and share ideas and war stories with three Clients that have extensive BPO contracts.

Breakout 4: Creating value through transforming the ‘retained’ function – enhanced business partnering to create a
‘Front Office Finance’ of the future
As the cost and size of Finance is being driven down through centralisation and automation, the future of Finance lies in its role as
a strategic partner to the business. Centralisation of high-value activities such as decision support has become the new normal,
and there has been a drive towards redeploying or freeing-up resources locally in ‘retained’ finance to focus on value-enhancing
business partnering. But many organisations often treat the definition of the ‘retained’ function as a slimming-down exercise,
expecting local teams to simply stop doing their old activities and pick up partnering activities which were non-existent before.
The risk of a poorly defined business partnering vision, strategy, and talent and capabilities assessment can be that business
partners are not clear on what they should be spending their time on, and how they best support the business priorities with
insight and agility. It is the front line business who feel the pain when they are unable to get the strategic advice they really need
from Finance. This workshop will look at the view of ‘Front Office Finance,’ for example:
• How to redefine a holistic vision for Finance, with Finance being at the forefront of business decision-making through business
partnering, whilst leveraging data and insights generated by Global Business Services or CoE.
• How to build commercial knowledge in Finance in order to support the growth agenda of the business.
• How to ensure your retained Finance teams and business partners understand the changing business priorities and how best
to support them.
• How to develop and enhance the people skills and capabilities that are needed to build trusted-advisor relationships, and
proactively partner the business.
David Anderson & Alice Stephen, Deloitte
Breakout 5: Swiss Re – A stakeholder view of shared services, Global Business Services and BPO
The transition from old ways of working to new is fraught with challenges, both for individuals and teams at all levels of an
organisation, as expectations about their core responsibilities and behaviours change significantly. While the business case for
starting this journey and target operating model may be different, one thing that all these organisations have in common is how
tricky it can be to address the change challenges of various stakeholder groups involved. Failure to manage both the people and
cultural aspects of a transformation programme effectively can prevent the realisation of initial and indeed continued benefits,
no matter how compelling the business case is. During this interactive session, Peter Hämmerli, Head of Service Delivery at Swiss
Re & Jayanth Poorna, Global Business Services change management expert at Deloitte will share:
• How a well-designed change management plan can assess and address the change impacts effectively for each identified
stakeholder group.
• How you can approach and maintain employee engagement and alignment when you are dealing with different centres,
functions and talent pools.
• Hints and tips to gaining acceptance and reducing the risk of ongoing tension within a multi-function, multi-business, multilocation and multi-sourcing environment.
• Ongoing challenges and considerations: how important is it that you have the same governance, service delivery, talent
management and culture in the shared services organisation as with the retained organisation? Is this even possible?

ESPAP is responsible for development and administration of shared services within Public Administration in Portugal. Assisting
over 150,000 employees, its services cover finance, HR, procurement, IT services, vehicles and logistics, and infrastructure
services. At last year’s conference Dr. Jaime Quesado shared his insights into the challenges they faced establishing a multifunctional shares services in the public sector. Now 12 months on, their focus has shifted to expanding the remit of its virtual SSC
network solution using enabling technologies. During this session Dr. Quesado, will share:
• How can you attract new customers in an environment where adoption of services is voluntary?
• Expanding the remit of virtual shared services. A deep dive into e-procurement and Cloud.
• Achievements to date, lessons learned and vision for 2017.
Dr. Jaime Quesado, President of ESPAP – Entidade de Serviços Partilhados da Administração Pública, I.P. (Portuguese Shared

Breakout 7: Selecting your location, and how to make it work
Over the last 2 years companies have been presented with a wider choice of locations for their Global Business Services and
shared services centres. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are being explored across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas. But as Global
Business Services and shared services increasingly take-up more complex and higher value-adding processes, carving-out the
optimal service delivery model and selecting the locations to suit is far from simple. In parallel, the growing global war-for-talent
often means that implementing a location decision and growing the Global Business Services or shared services comes with
challenges – even in the most favourable locations. Here, DFDS and Deloitte’s site selection professionals will dive into these
themes, using practical examples to address such topics as:
• What goes where? – latest insights into location trends.
• The future of the tiered/dispersed service delivery model.
• What does location really mean to the SSCs operating environment?
• How do you mitigate location challenges as you set-up and build-out your centre.

Plenary 7: Panel – Emerging Technologies
In the 18 years that this conference has been running, we have seen trends come and go. If there is one trend definitely not in
doubt this year – it’s the re-emergence of enabling technologies. Just 3 years ago, the enabling technology market seemed to
have plateaued. Now there is a wealth of new solutions on the market gaining traction. Technology seems to be in…not just as
an alternative to low cost locations and labour arbitrage, but as a means of creating value in a shared services/Global Business
Services environment and elevating operations above the realms of ‘back-office’. But with a myriad of new ‘buzz words’ from
robotics to Artificial Intelligence (AI), to Cloud…where should you really spend your limited time and resources. Our panel will
debate:
• Of the new enabling technologies on the market – which are the ones that are gaining traction?
• Hype versus reality….? To what extent will Cloud replace the ERP market? To what extent will we all be employing robots
by 2020?
• How does the business case/change management challenge change with some of the new solutions which are less reliant on IT?
• How do you ensure you are bringing your IT team along for the ride?
• What can we learn from the SMAC which is available on the street…are we catching up in a business environment?

Plenary 8: Integrated Global Services – The newest brand fuelling growth at Campbell
In 2015, Campbell Soup Company embarked on an ambitious agenda to improve company agility, grow faster, and unlock
shareholder value. Integral to that strategy was the creation of Integrated Global Services, led by Ed Carolan and reporting
directly into the CEO. Comprised of nine operational functions providing a range of transactional to knowledge-based services
around the world, IGS is quickly transforming the way Campbell works to fuel growth, and helping to reshape our company for
new generations of consumers.
During this session, Ed Carolan will argue that the traditional thinking and positioning of shared services has held us back. He will
share his unique recipe for shared services success, which include:
• Run it like a brand
• Build it to lead change
• Make it a cool career

Plenary 10A: Panel – Centres of Excellence (CoE) – From providing shared services to delivering excellence
Most shared services implementations start with transactional processes such as P2P or O2C. However once this transactional
scope has been fully migrated there are still typically many activities still left in the retained organisations that could be
centralised. Many organisations choose to build centres of excellence to handle such higher value add activities. In this break out
we will explore what leading organisations are doing with their CoE initiatives and touch on topics including:
• Are CoEs required for higher value activities or can these simply be put into an existing shared service centre?
• What governance structure is required for a CoE and who should it report to?
• What activities are best served from a CoE?
• Can CoEs be located nearshore or even offshore?
Panel to be chaired by Miguel Eiras Antunes, Deloitte
Plenary 10B: Human Capital trends and the implications for HR shared services
2016 will be a disruptive year, as new models of management, open feedback, new HR platforms, and organisation design take
centre stage for the human capital agenda. Brett Walsh leads Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Practice and consults at the senior
level on HR strategies, merger integrations, organisation design and major transformation programmes. During this session, Brett
Walsh will cover:
• The key Human Capital trends which are disrupting the workforce landscape.
• Areas of particular importance for HR shared services teams: digital technology, robotics, service delivery model, employee
experience.
• Examples of how organisations are stepping up to meet these challenges and opportunities.

Breakout 1: Shared services/Global Business Services centre transition and migration planning
Since the start of this conference, we have covered hundreds of shared services centre transitions… so why do companies still get
it wrong and why have we not learned from some of the lessons in the past? Hear from Mark Craddock who has managed multiple
transitions about the intricacies and pitfalls which most often trip companies up:
• To what extent is it important to fully plan and scope out a transition versus a just get on with it approach…is there a happy
medium? Is there such a thing as a transition plan which doesn’t change?
• Getting your ducks (or rather stakeholders) in line before you start. How should the relationship with stakeholders affect your
approach to transition assuming you may not always have everyone on board?
• Why you need to elevate change management to a critical path activity. How you need to manage change differently in different
geographies.
Mark Craddock, Deloitte
Breakout 2: Tetra Pak – Regional shared services model for mid-size organisations – How Tetra Pak progressively built a
hybrid regional delivery model
Tetra Pak began its shared services journey around 12 years ago with the establishment of a shared service centre in the UK
delivering transactional finance services (PtP, OtC and RtR) to European and North American legal entities. This was meant to be
the first step in a journey with plans to extend the model to the rest of the world. A few years later, with the UK service centre
falling short of the original benefit case, Tetra Pak decided to outsource the activities of the service centre to a third party service
provider and closed the operations.
In 2010 Tetra Pak had in-shored the RtR activities which had been outsourced to the third party provider.In 2011 Tetra Pak started
formulating a new strategy and operating model which they have implemented over the following years. The new streamlined
operating model has consolidated the RtR activities of all the geographies into five regional hubs and the PtP/OtC activities to a
third party service provider with operations in China & India.
This story provides an impressive take on what can be achieved with a vision of the end state, sound stakeholder management
and a structured & pragmatic approach, despite initial set-backs. During this breakout session Christian Moraldo will share Tetra
Pak’s story and outlook, including:
• How they incorporated learnings to avoid the errors of earlier setbacks.
• How they managed to deliver the expected savings and benefits.
• Big bang versus phased? – Why a more pragmatic ‘stepped’ approach made sense.
Christian Moraldo, Vice President Group Financial Control, Tetra Pak

Breakout 3: Building quality and consistency of service with well-applied contact centre operations. Practical tips for
Global Business Services and shared services leaders
In today’s increasingly mobile and real-time world, customers’ satisfaction has never been more important. Their feedback,
both good and bad, is integral to shaping service quality and overall brand. Though many organisations are tempted to skip
this thinking, developing the right customer contact model and operations is an important step in transforming your back
office functions. Whether you are just starting out, looking to refine your model or move towards Global Business Services, the
investment (financial, time and effort) spent here will be the critical element in order to gain trust, deliver service excellence and
ultimately achieve your desired goals. During this session Richard Small will focus on:
• The step change in customer mind-set – why we are increasingly seeing ourselves as consumers both in and out of
the workplace.
• Considerations when building a robust and scalable contact centre.
• Emerging trends, technologies and engagement tools.
• His lessons learned: how not to forget your customers.
Richard Small, Deloitte
Breakout 4: Leiden University – Continuous Improvement (CI)
An inspiration for both public and private organisations – Leiden University has transformed from a decentralised finance
administration with paper intensive processes to a finance shared services with fully digitalised processes which draw daily on
data analytics as a means of achieving continuous improvement. By stacking up project results from several smaller projects, it
has created a multiplier effect allowing far greater results than those expected. During this presentation, Rob van den Wijngaard
from Leiden University and Dirk Westra van Holthe from Deloitte will discuss:
• Applied technology implementation, the basic principles, pitfalls, best practices and delivered results.
• Action management in a shared services environment.
• VAT coding, compliance and continuous improvement.

Breakout 5: Voith – The impact of Cloud on HR process optimisation and the shared services operating model
Voith’s HR transformation journey started three years ago, with an initial feasibility study into the creation of a global HR shared
services organisation with a global HR Process Framework to support more than 20,000 employees who were located across 50
countries. Following a process-led approach, Voith has successfully started to implement Cloud functionality (in parallel to global
process design) across end-to-end HR processes (170+ in total) and shared service hubs in Germany (Europe scope), the US (North
America), Brazil (South America), and China (Asia Pacific).
During this session, Ralf Clausen & Markus Helle will provide insights in to:
• The strategy behind the HR transformation.
• Features of a successful process-led design approach.
• The impact of Cloud on process optimisation and the shared services operating model.
• Lessons learned and critical success factors when moving to regional shared services and the Cloud.
Ralf Clausen, Head of CoC HR Information & Service Management, Markus Helle, Head of HR Process Management & Analytics,
Voith & Hendrick Schmahl, Deloitte
Breakout 6: National Health Service: Going digital – NHS Shared Business Services
NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) has one of the biggest supplier networks in the whole world: it’s story is unparalleled, with
many lessons learned along the way (not all of them good). Previously NHS SBS was crippled with a disconnected Supply Chain
and 30,000 daily inbound invoices from 175,000 suppliers worldwide. Processing time lagged and managing paper was accounting
for a significant chunk of its operating costs. The solution came in the shape of ‘Lean’ tools and enabling technology. NHS SBS call
centres have seen a significant reduction in invoice status inquiries. They have been able to eliminate up to 14 million pieces of
paper each year. E-invoices sent through Tradeshift went from zero to almost 25,000 per month in 17 months, meaning that all of
those invoices were received, registered and fulfilled digitally. Gary Connolly will cover:
• A brief overview of the NHS Shared Business Services operation.
• The invoice challenge, enabling technologies investigated and how they built a business case.
• Continuous improvement at NHS SBS and why it choose Lean.
• The structure NHS SBS put in place to support the roll out of Lean and lessons learned.

Breakout 7: Insight-driven shared services centres – unleashing the power of predictive intelligence and analytics
For decades, shared services have understood the notion that “what gets measured, gets managed”. Consequently, small
incremental levels of improvement gain in efficiency and effectiveness can undoubtedly be attributed to the process of
measurement and monitoring. The recent challenge has been how to embed smarter and more intuitive mechanisms of
continuous improvement that yield even greater improvements than achieved historically. This session will explain how the
advent of machine-learning applications, combined with more holistic data management approaches, can now reveal the
complex set of relationships and linkages that exist between the various elements that drive service management effectiveness.
The session will include:
• What do we mean by insight-driven shared services?
• Machine-learning applications – who are the providers?
• How do you build a business case? What is the payback and to what extent do you need to rely on IT?
• Case studies and an overview of Watson Analytics in a shared services centre context.
Laurence Collins & Neera Mayor, Deloitte
Breakout 8: Getting your BPO relationship and governance model right
UBS have a long history of implementing large scale offshore and outsourced operations, and adapting its governance structure
to comply with evolving business and industry standards. After briefly summarising UBS’s journey to date Derek Smith will open
discussion up to the audience to drill down into a number of interesting areas including:
• What are the key considerations when defining or changing your relationship model? How much could be centrally owned and
what can be managed ‘in function?’
• The ‘art of the possible’ – what can be owned by whom?
• How do changes in industry regulations impact the way you define or redefine your governance model?

Breakout 9: Internal controls – Service Centre controls and impact of Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Cost reduction remains a key focus area to support profitability and growth. The business is increasingly asking the Internal Audit,
Controls, Compliance and Ethics teams how can they participate and support the cost reduction journey, while maintaining a
solid internal controls environment. There is a significant opportunity for organisations to leverage the existing shared services
arrangements and build a centralised, cost-effective risks, controls and compliance function. Ani Sen Gupta will share:
• How organisations can transfer transactional as well as certain specialised one-off activities under the risks, controls and
compliance functions to an offshore shared service centre.
• The business case for offshore shared services compliance centres.
• The opportunity for controls service centres to improve their use of leading edge technologies, robotics and the ERP platform
across the organisation.

Plenary 11: Solvay – Global Business Services, making the ‘owner’ model a global operating success
Solvay, a €10bn chemicals company, implemented a full owner Global Business Services model in 2013 – with all employees in
the Global Business Services organisation reporting operationally to the Global Business Services leader and the process owners
being nothing else than the corporate head of functions. While many organisations have struggled to implement this model fully,
Solvay is now reaping the benefits. During this session Guy Mercier will cover:
• Why the owner model was chosen over the landlord model and what the benefits have been.
• How it has managed to effect significant change from taking an ‘end to end’ process view.
• Why senior people were put into Global Process Owner roles and how they have made a difference.
• Why Lisbon has been chosen as a key location in its global footprint.
Guy Mercier, Executive Senior Vice President – Head of Global Services Strategy & Delivery, Solvay

Planey 12: Panel – Functional shared services, Global Business Services or aggressive BPO – which model works best,
when and why?
Over the two days of the conference we will have heard from organisations that have stayed with functional shared services,
organisations that have moved to a Global Business Services model and, in both cases, from organisations that have adopted BPO
to greater or lesser extents. In this final panel debate, with two of our industries most experienced shared services and Global
Business Services leaders, we will review the alternatives and debate some of the biggest and toughest questions including.
• Under what conditions should companies stay at functional shared services or move to Global Business Services?
• What are the “conditions for success” that are required for each model?
• To what extent does multi-sourcing impact each of the models, and what are the practical considerations to ensure an
integrated service delivery environment?
• How aggressive should companies be with RPA and/or cognitive technologies? Has this rapid automation technology sufficiently
matured to the extent that it can tactically affect structural and sourcing questions?
