Shared Services in Asia 2008

For the 11th consecutive year, Shared Services Week Asia 2008 will bring together over 100 executives engaged in transforming the Finance, IT and HR functions and provide the answers on the what, how and when of the Shared Services transformation in accordance with the latest industry trends.

Join this superior Summit to benefit from:

• Best-practice case studies by corporate leaders to benchmark your own Shared Service Center performance
• Stimulating panel debates between experts
• Innovative networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities
• The Blue Sky Innovation Room

New in 2008 - the Blue Sky Innovation Room

In uncharted waters? Facing phase 3 challenges no-one has yet solved? Find it hard to learn anything new from reflective PowerPoint case studies anymore? Feel like you’re so mature you’ve seen it all before?

- Sounds like you should be part of the brainstorming roundtables in the blue-sky innovation room.

For the most advanced SSOs practitioners at the very front of the innovation curve, it can be hard to find something new to learn by reflective case study alone. You’ve been there, got the tee-shirt, right?

That’s why, especially for practitioners of your stage of maturity, we’ve created an EXCLUSIVE BLUE-SKY INNOVATION ROOM to run parallel to the two main conference streams during the event.

So why is this different? How does it work?

Extended in length, these highly interactive roundtable sessions provide you with a brand new environment, where together with the Shared Services Summit presenters and other pre-qualified mature delegates you can brainstorm solutions to the very latest challenges.

IMPORTANT! PRE-QUALIFIED PARTICIPANTS ONLY

If you believe your level of practitioner experience in Shared Services means you should be part of these discussions, make sure you indicate when registering that you want to be considered to join the “off duty” speakers in this exclusive room.

N.B. There are a limited number of places available in the blue-sky room, issued on a ‘first-come-first-serve’ basis.
