Corporate & Shared Services National Insights – Fall Edition

Online

Event Overview Optimizing Service Delivery Through a United Approach As our governments look to further their transformation journeys, it is important to look back at what we’ve accomplished and yet acknowledge the work that still has to be done. While many sectors have successfully implemented strong foundations for sustainable development, the adoption of consolidated and integrated corporate and shared services operations has presented many challenges. It is crucial that we address those barriers and find viable solutions. This webinar will explore the shift to consolidated government functions and examine key factors both driving success and hindering efforts. While many of our government departments have been operating sufficiently with the legacy systems as is, it is essential to understand the risk this poses to our government and our communities. Policies need to further address the transformation needed to keep up with shifting demand and priorities. Adopting more innovative and flexible solutions to procurement, finance and operational processes will only strengthen our governments. Creating policies that are more adaptable and amenable to change will leave room for growth. Embracing a centralized approach through modern digital solutions, enforced by leadership, will create more resilient and future-focused enterprises.
