Shared services provides
an opportunity for almost every organization in the current economic crisis and
the age of cost cutting or cost reductions. Whether outsourced or captive, shared
services organizations provide an attractive and proven option to reduce back and
front office costs, while improving levels of service to customers and the business
itself. This, in turn, provides a personal opportunity for shared services leaders
themselves.
The right shared services strategy will create value, reduce costs and provide flexibility.
The wrong approach, without due consideration to risk, balance and long-term flexibility,
will be a costly exercise.
Shared Services
PGS can guide your company as an independent consultant to carefully select solutions
for using shared services techniques to:
Improve liquidity - often implemented as a long-term solution, shared services
can be used as a tool to help with immediate liquidity issues.
Provide flexibility – any organization adopting shared services should think
about flexibility.
Improve performance – proven shared services and outsourcing maturity models
can help fine-tune the performance of an organization and point to further benefit
realization opportunities.
Take action – it is easy to prevaricate but difficult to be bold, especially
with a whole organization and shareholders watching your personal performance. Making
bold shared services decisions in this climate requires a blend of strategic sourcing
and practical action. This combination is deeply embedded in PGS's culture and is
enabled by the type of people and partners we work with.
