Shared Services and What the Future Might Hold: Peter Allen,
partner & managing director, will co-present with Filippo

Leader of the Year recipient, on the ways a leading global
firm positions its SSO through resources, accountabilities,
performance metrics and strategic alignment.
-- Developing and Implementing Governance Models for SSOs: Shawn
McCray, partner, will focus on how to develop a framework to
effectively align SSOs with business goals, providing a
step-by-step process for developing and implementing a
strategic governance model.

Savings: Bill Frech, partner and managing director, CFO
Services North America, and Sue Danino, project director, will
address the demand for improvement found today in many mature
SSOs by exploring expansion opportunities and its benefits, as
well as critical success factors based on best-in-class case
study examples.
In addition to presenting, Bill Frech will also moderate a panel
session entitled Increasing Your Shared Service Offerings to Become a
Strategic Partner. This session will focus on how to maximize value
through aligning SSOs with business needs and determining the global
versus regional service delivery footprint.
