DETAILS: Global options in business process sourcing are having a significant impact on many executive decisions. The cost and quality of benefits available through service globalization are driving a fundamental mindset change. Not only is the prospect of leveraging low-cost labor markets affecting decisions on business models and the placement of planned centralized transactional activities, it is also forcing a reexamination of fundamental decisions about which processes should be considered for centralization. Simply put, potential cost savings, combined with the quality and capability of talent available in these markets, are helping to change the entire business process sourcing analysis. Listen to Karen Bowman and other outsourcing suppliers discuss the outsourcing messages that are resonating with CEOs and CFOs, lift and shift versus transform and shift, and the challenges being faced by their industry short and long-term.
The theme for this year’s annual conference is Leveraging Synergies: Myth or Reality? Synergy is defined as the interaction of two or more agents so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
In the business world, synergy is often the anticipated benefit of corporate reorganizations, cooperation between business functions, or mergers and acquisitions.
But many actions aimed at achieving synergy fail to deliver the expected gains. So how is it that some companies successfully and repeatedly reduce costs and achieve other benefits by leveraging synergy? What are world-class companies doing differently to make synergy work?
The idea of the synergy myth will be considered in light of several best practice themes:
· Proven techniques for reducing business process complexity
· Driving effectiveness and efficiency at the enterprise level
· Focusing on attracting and retaining top talent
· Providing real-time information in a real-time world
· Maximizing ROI on technology investments
