As Patika Global Technology, we took our place in the 16th Shared Services & Outsourcing Week Europe Autumn 2022 event to be held in London this year. Just as they began to get to grips with the post-COVID normal, Europe’s Shared Services and GBS leaders have once again been thrown in at the deep end. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has put significant strain on many organisations, increasing talent and operational risk, compromising their supply chains and threatening sustainability initiatives that were already impacted by the pandemic. As risk frameworks are reassessed and scenario planning is carried out in response to this upheaval, many GBS and shared services organisations are once again adapting rapidly, re-balancing their operating models and transformation strategies with a key focus on their people. An effective re-appraisal of current and potential risks will be key to expanding and diversifying service portfolios, ensuring that Shared Services and GBS can continue to drive value for the wider enterprise business. This October, SSON brings Shared Services & Outsourcing Week Europe Autumn 2022 to London to confront these pressing topics and challenges. Following the Lisbon edition, the 16th annual Autumn show promises a critical second touch point for shared services and GBS leaders in Europe to explore best practices and learn from the best in the industry. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to come together as a community and be inspired by your peers, colleagues and others who are continuously striving to adapt and to drive value.
