Description: Shared services enable companies to retain internal control of core functions while still maximizing cost efficiency. The concept is simple: bring together functions that are frequently duplicated across divisions, subsidiaries or operating units and offer these services at up to 25-40% lower cost, through a shared services center that operates as a freestanding business. Shared Services: Mining for Corporate Gold is the first definitive guide to the subject. Discover what shared services means -- and how it differs from yesterday's bureaucratic centralized support functions. Assess the viability of shared services for your organization, and learn how to plan and implement them. You'll find in-depth coverage of sizing, determining what to share and what to outsource, establishing the infrastructure, and changing your company's internal culture to support shared services. The book includes Fortune 500 case studies, expert advice, and processes -- plus sample presentations, tools and templates you can use right now.
