ScottMadden and APQC Host Webinar Discussing Finance and Shared Services Benchmarking Study

January 26, 2017

ScottMadden, Inc., a general management consulting firm, partnered with the American Productivity & Quality Center (APQC), a benchmarking and best practices research organization, to host a webinar discussing results from their joint Finance Shared Services Benchmarking Study. This study focuses on processes within shared services organizations (SSOs) and provides benchmarks on costs, staffing levels, and productivity measures. The study also reveals how SSOs are adopting various trends and technologies in their operations.

Mary Driscoll, APQC’s senior research fellow for finance, moderated the discussion between ScottMadden’s Corporate & Shared Services partners, Brad DeMent and Trey Robinson. The webinar focused on the key findings from the benchmarking report and discussed trends and leading practices for Finance SSOs and Global Business Services. Participants learned about characteristics of top-performing SSOs, the adoption of advanced technologies, the benefits achieved from end-to-end process models, and differences seen with global models.

“ScottMadden’s benchmarking survey is unique in the industry because it focuses on aspects of shared services that are rarely found in other surveys. We are excited to share the results of our survey and hope that participants found the information insightful as they continually advance their SSOs,” says Mr. Robinson.
