ScottMadden to Chair the 2013 Shared Services & Outsourcing Exchange

ATLANTA - June 19, 2013 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., a general management consulting firm, is pleased to chair SSON’s 8th Annual Shared Services & Outsourcing Exchange (http://www.sharedservicesexchange.com/), taking place June 23–25, 2013, at the Barton Creek Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. This event is a unique gathering for shared services executives from North America’s leading corporations, offering practical case study sessions, roundtable discussion, and one-on-one business meetings with leading service and solutions providers. Brad DeMent, partner and finance and accounting practice area leader at ScottMadden, will serve as conference chair.

This premier event is for senior-level shared services and sourcing practitioners who are evolving their service delivery strategies, capabilities, and operations. This three-day event will offer interactive learning opportunities through conference sessions, one-on-one business meetings, and strategic networking opportunities.

“Shared services operators are facing more strategic decisions than ever before,” said Mr. DeMent. “Though interest continues in launching new shared services organizations, mature operators must determine how to advance the ball with expansion into multiple functions, international coverage, new centers of excellence, hybrid captive/outsourced models, business analytics, and much more. These forums are a great medium to efficiently exchange ideas and lessons learned for such critical decisions, and build important networking relationships to continue discussions after the conference.”

Mr. DeMent will also facilitate the panel, “Implementing a Best-In-Class Hybrid Outsourcing Model.” This interactive discussion will provide insights to determine which activities will become true outsourced activities and which ones will continue to be delivered via a shared services “captive” structure. This session will also provide lessons learned from the early adopters of a Hybrid Delivery Model.
