Workforce evolution, talent acquisition challenges, and technology innovations often trigger organizations to reinvent themselves. At the same time, the chatter of an approaching recession combined with the pressure to unveil long-term return-to-work strategies is quickly putting organizations on defense, reluctant to innovate. However, it’s arguably more important during disruption to invest in your corporate and shared services delivery models that position your organization to provide an elevated customer and employee experience, uncover new efficiencies, and gain operational insights.
For shared services organizations (SSOs), innovation and growth are driven by the need to meet customer demands and provide new corporate and shared services offerings. Transformation is not always an overhaul but commonly a refinement. For example, an organization acquires a new business, and the SSO expands support to the new company. To achieve continued success with your SSO, you can consider developing your services, expanding to serve new geographies or customer groups, adopting new technology to improve service delivery, incorporating new approaches to drive data insights, and others. As your SSO matures, the goals and nature of innovation also change, as shown below.
