Annual Australasian Shared Services & Outsourcing Week 2013

Working in an ultra-connected, highly competitive yet economically volatile environment is altering the way we approach operational excellence.

Cost savings, whilst still a strong driving force in business transformation, are being balanced with the need to harness disruptive technologies such as social media and big data, and new approaches to partnering such as smart sourcing, to create a truly agile and efficient operational framework able to flex with our rapidly growing region.

What’s New for 2013?

• Strategic Sourcing & Procurement Summit: In recognition of the growing importance of Smart Sourcing & Procurement within SSO success, we have introduced a half-day interactive Summit within SSO Week to help bridge the gap between procurement, finance, suppliers and the core business.

• Close & Comfortable: This year, in response to your requests, we have returned to a more intimate hotel setting with an adjoining plenary and exhibition room for maximum networking opportunities and have shortened the conference days to allow further networking activities, including a Structured Industry Vertical Networking Grand Finale Lunch on Day 3.

• C-Suite Presence: The CFO & CIO Forums have been better integrated into the main program to encourage even more strategic discussions. We will also see an increased representation of C-Suite on the speaker faculty.

• A Fast-Paced Live Tech Drive: Technology is progressing so quickly these days it’s hard to keep up! So we have introduced a live Tech Drive showing the latest in automation technology and innovative systems to bring you up to speed.
