Announcing the first training course within the Shared Services and Outsourcing space

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 2, 2010 - The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) is pleased to announce the launch of our NEW Managed Certification® and Online Learning Program for global Shared Services & Sourcing Professionals - providing process-specific training and skills management to the business services community at large.

The new SSON Managed Certification® and Online Learning Program - fills a much-needed gap in the skill level of the current shared services talent pool. Given the trend of staff entering shared services from what is generally a purely functional background, many are finding themselves not well-equipped to provide the value-adding, customer-centric services required by today’s ever more savvy business customers.

In designing this program, SSON has researched skills requirements and core competencies across a range of functions and industries. We have taken advice from some of the leading practitioners in the global marketplace, and are delighted to offer a comprehensive, monitored online program.

Specifics of the course:

The certification covers 10 areas we have identified as core skills or competencies, eg, customer satisfaction, financial, contracting, quality assurance, etc. The program includes a Management Track as well as a Practitioner Track, aligned to the requirements of individuals’ internal roles.

Upon completion of the program, and having passed tests in each module, participants will acquire the professional accreditation Shared Services Outsourcing Professional (SSOP).
