Why should I attend the 3rd Annual Nordic Shared Services and Outsourcing Forum 2009?

In a climate fixated with cutbacks and recession, it has never been more appealing for organisations to consider establishing shared services and business process outsourcing in the Nordic Region. Or perhaps you have already implemented a Shared Service Centre and your CFO demands continued cost savings?

This is the only forum for Shared Services that’s dedicated 100% to addressing the challenges of operating Shared Services in or for the Nordic region. This isn’t just a European event that’s being held in the Nordic region, this is a Nordic programme for Nordic SSCs and practitioners.

You need to combat high costs, drive continued cost savings, deliver excellent customer service and increase productivity whilst continuing to boost the bottom-line.

Sound familiar?

Balancing these demands as your SSC develops is not an easy task, but that’s exactly what you need to do if your SSC is going to consolidate its position as a value-adding business partner. However as you know, the real challenge for Nordic SSCs is not only achieving this balance, but doing so effectively whilst combating high operating costs and an ongoing credit crisis.

Who will I meet and who is speaking?

Spanning Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Baltic Region, the 3rd Annual Nordic Shared Services and Outsourcing Forum is uniquely focused on addressing the challenges that SSCs operating services in and for this region face. No-one understands the specific pressures that you face better than someone else who faces exactly the same challenges, which is why this event has been created after extensive market research with experienced Shared Services practitioners from the Nordic region.

This is your opportunity to meet with and learn from your peers, so that you can brainstorm solutions together to the specific regional challenges you face.
