MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER! – DEVELOPMENT OF THE
BUSINESS SERVICES BASED ON COMPETENCES
- Interview with Krystian Bestry, CEO at Adaptive Solutions & Advisory Group
Capita - Putting innovation at the heart of RPOEmma Mirrington
What is the meaning of innovation in RPO and how can the market become more innovative? New research from Capita seeks to find out what innovation means to resourcing leaders. The research provides an in depth insight on how RPO models can be better configured to realise the benefits from innovation.
Research participants included HR directors and resourcing leaders from large enterprises, with the likes of Arup, BSkyB, The Cooperative Banking Group, Lockheed Martin, TalkTalk, Thales and Virgin Money, among others.
Most of the respondents felt that the sector needed to improve on how it engages with candidates and hiring managers, and improve its capabilities around candidate sourcing. There was a strong sense of a need for research-led RPO, which could help improve conversations with active and passive candidates as well as boost the development of talent pipelines and pools.
Some respondents reflected challenges back on themselves; for instance, respondents linked several shortfalls to their organisations’ tendency to contract on cost alone, a failure to challenge how resourcing was perceived as a business discipline within their own organisation, and a lack of both focus and investment in workforce planning and talent management.
The Innovation in RPO white paper proves to be an interesting and upfront read. Its frank and honest view of the state of RPO comes with recommendations for driving positive change.

The Rise of Digital Darwinism and the Real-world Business Drivers for Digital...Brian Solis
Digital transformation (DX) is shaping the future of business. While it can mean different things to different leaders, DX is about migrating from on-premises and labor-based models to the cloud, then complementing migration with cloud capabilities and agility. But to stop there would miss the full potential of using the cloud to enable DX.
The potential of DX is the sum of its parts: “digital” and “transformation.” Explored in isolation, we’re limited to either the constant pursuit and implementation of new technologies that enhance capabilities or a focus on change to modernize and become more efficient and innovative. Combined, they represent the future of business, how it operates, how it serves customers and employees, and how it adapts to industry evolution.
DX is continuous, never ends, and never a “won and done” series of checked boxes. DX is how organizations continually respond to disruptive events, trends, and technologies – beyond IT. The most effective partners in a DX journey explore existing states and capabilities within, benchmark those results against industry best practices and customer needs, and apply those insights to a strategic digital transformation plan of their own.
Future-proofing public sector and commercial businesses starts with future-proofing partner businesses. The PTP is an accelerator to drive DX and business modernization from B2B all the way to B2C. The PTP provides partners with the guidance to accelerate the development of their AWS skills and expertise to better serve their government, education, or nonprofit and also commercial customers’ journeys to the cloud.
Introducing the AWS Partner Transformation Program eBook
For PTP partners to get started, AWS created a DX playbook “The AWS Partner Transformation Program: Setting the Stage to Transformation Your Business.”
The eBook explores digital trends, DX methodologies, and the needs and areas of opportunity for partner organizations. The eBook can help PTP partners chart a “transformation plan” to set the stage for their customers’ digital transformation.
The time is now to future-proof your business to future-proof your customer's business.
Today’s most forward-thinking IT leaders view outsourcing not as a cost reduction tactic but rather as a strategic vehicle and catalyst for transforming the organization into a digital business. They have learned that taking an approach that drives alignment with business requirements, transforms the state of IT, and changes the “work” that is being done not only produces better service levels but also delivers exponentially greater cost savings. In this new white paper, "IT Outsourcing Is Not About Cost Savings", The Outsourcing Institute and WGroup have teamed up to provide guidance to help you rethink IT outsourcing and how you can deliver increased shareholder value.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER!
– DEVELOPMENT OF THE
BUSINESS SERVICES BASED
ON COMPETENCES
Interview with Krystian Bestry, CEO at Adaptive
Solutions & Advisory Group
Wiktor Doktór: To begin with, let’s
present your company to our read-
ers. Where did the idea for Adaptive
come from?
First, there was a need... To be more
precise, a demand for highly specialized
expert skills and managerial compe
tences in the still relatively new industry
of business services.
The scale of growth of this sector in
recent years – in Poland, the region and
globally – has substantially exceeded all
forecasts and estimates made by business
analysts a dozen or even a few years ago.
Strong development of IT system and IT
operations, programming or designing
applications, similar to all types of cus
tomer service in the telecommunications
or banking sector has been observed for
more than 20 years now, and has been
associated with the growth of these in
dustries and technological development
in the 21st
century, the centralization of
other business support processes and,
recently also, basic operations in the
model of shared services centres has
been a surprise to many. The peculiar
popularity for outsourcing and offshoring
of process operations to more attractive
locations in terms of costs emerged at
large international corporations some
10-12 years ago, that was also the time
when the biggest players in this market
entered Poland and other countries from
our region. At the same time, a large
number of projects have a very“delicate”
nature for parent companies, because
they are linked with employment reduc
tion inWestern European countries or the
United States. Many initiatives are kept
secret, even within own organization’s
structures, until the very last moment.
Hence, this is not conducive to active
corporate communication regarding the
nature of established service centres, and
it generates a certain form of opposition
in relations between companies from the
sector, and also brings about questions
in local labour markets and misunder
standing with reference to the role and
the scope of services offered by such
new units.
Even today, when the sector of modern
technology services, business services
and outsourcing is the third biggest in
dustry in Poland, we still have to deal with
a high level of unawareness as regards
the actual business activity of the com
panies from this industry; we encounter
many stereotypes, including – and this
may be considered significant – not only
from representatives of the world of busi
ness, and administration science, but
also from representatives of consulting
companies or market analysts! Remarks
about the low complexity of operations
and absence of added value, about
a doubtful future of the sector or the risk

of services to Asia, are just a few exam
ples of complete ignorance and today’s
approach presented by many internation

Despite a substantial contribution made
by BPO/ITO companies or an increasingly
greater number of organizations, which
through their actions improve the aware
ness of the market with regard to the
characteristics of work and professional
career opportunities created by services
centres, the recognizability of the sector
and its attractiveness for potential em
ployees are still not at the highest level.

led to noticeable shortages of quali

managerial competences, skills in com

transformation or operational manage
ment at services centres.
The idea to establish Adaptive Group
emerged from the scale of identified
needs, with the increasing importance of
services centres and, hence, the increa
sing expectations of the parent organi
zation in terms of the new services these
shared services centres already provide
Meanwhile, the market of shared services
is developing very dynamically, by at least
20% year to year, in each country from
our region, in Asia or in South America.
Medium-sized or smaller regional com
panies have started following in the foot
steps of international corporations and
have begun to realize that without busi
ness support centralization their compe
titiveness, as well as ability to adopt
new solutions, drops drastically.
Hence, the growth scale of the sector,

ledge between companies, and poor

4. • Speed of action;
• Flexible business model.
For us, consulting activity is not an end
in itself; the actual value comes from
the support in solving real problems,
taking over responsibility for running
transformation programmes or periodic
managerial and operational support with
a contractual obligation to achieve set
aims, irrespective of our level of engage
ment. This is what motivates us.
Our entire team is recruited from the
candidates we have cooperated with
before or who have been recommended
by our clients. All employees of Adaptive
S.A.G. have several to a dozen or so years
of experience working in the sector of
business and technological services –
often for the companies that pioneered
this model of operation on a global scale.
We have also worked out a list of compa
nies – business partners and several hun
dred of process experts – that we often
engage in our operations or recommend
to our clients.
Innovativeness of the solutions we pro
vide is based on excellent knowledge of
the market of business services and pro
cess transformations, monitoring of the
best operational practices and techno
logical trends – we use our long-standing
experience in the sector of commercial
services for the BPO/ITO business sup
ported by current cooperation with re
cognized market analysts.
We are aware of the fact that time is the
greatest value in the contemporary world.
Time, which means speed of action and
adaptation to changing needs. It some
times happens that we have to organize
teams for our clients’ projects within
just a few hours in order to either sup
port strategic discussions or responding
to on-going urgent operational needs.
Our flexible business model is based not
only on working at a given client’s head
quarters but, most of all, on a detailed
identification of objectives, expectations
and challenges of every organization as
well as joint discussion regarding oppor
tunities and risks of the solutions defined.
Depending on needs, we are able to en
sure competence-related, specialist and
technological support as well as opera
tional aid to help eliminate specific prob
lems in our client’s organization.
or will begin providing in the near fu
ture. Today’s innovativeness and ability
to adapt to changing market needs is di
rectly proportional to the competences
a given organization has or can have at
its disposal.
Working for many years with leading
corporations on transforming business
processes, including transferring and
building large operational centres in
Europe, the United Stated, India, China or
Africa, we came to the conclusion that it
was high time to open a competent con
sulting company in this part of the world
that would guarantee help to shared
services centres in achieving success
at every stage of their development.
Companies often notice challenges but
do not know how to cope with them;
they often work out business plans with
out being aware of the challenges they
may be facing.
So, what do you actually do? What ser-
vices do you provide?
The value we deliver is based on many
years of practical experience, a proven
methodology of building shared services
centres, including business transition be
tween locations, process transformation,
managerial competences, and conti
nuous monitoring of trends and the best
solutions in the market.
As part of our collaboration with clients,
we provide mostly services related
to building and implementing an ope
ration strategy for shared services cen
tres, standardization and centralization
of support departments (such as finance,
accounting, purchasing processes, HR or
IT), project realization, knowledge trans
fer, optimization of processes, effective
monitoring and process improvements,
as well as creating and implementing
communication strategies or employer
branding initiatives. Furthermore, we
help to select suppliers of technological
solutions and, often, to make decisions
and seek outsourcing partners.
What distinguishes a competent con-
sulting company in the market?
The five most important elements
include:
• Responsibility for the results of con
ducted projects;
• Managerial competences and
a broad range of process experts;
• Innovativeness of solutions;
The future of busi-
ness services is asso-
ciated with integrated
services, which means
deeper centralization,
combining individual
and highly frag-
mented service lines
with one another,
and the application
of technology
in their operation.

BUSINESS
Outsourcing&More | January – February 2018
5. When talking about characteristics
and trends another question comes
to mind. Where is the outsourcing and
business services sector heading?
The future of business services is asso
ciated with integrated services, which
means deeper centralization, combining
individual and highly fragmented service
lines with one another, and the appli
cation of technology in their operation.
The whole world is talking now about
robots and artificial intelligence; this di
rection can also be clearly seen in the out
sourcing sector. Many companies already
use cloud databases, analytical appli
cations based on technological solutions,
automatic processing and reporting
modules, or robot-supported systems of
knowledge management. Certainly, this
trend will continue to reinforce, parti
cularly due to the fact that with reference
to business support processes we have
been observing increased popularity
of the approach based on the so-called
design thinking, i.e. continuous con
struction of prototypes of new solutions,
including technological, and testing them
in practice, improving and reinventing.
This favours innovation.
In response to expectations regarding an
increased effectiveness of business ope
rations, an ability to implement new pro
jects quickly, comprehensive support of
the parent organization, and enabling the
automation of services on a large scale,
further standardization of processes will
be a significant factor.
Surely, we can expect the continued
development of shared services or
BPO centres, because this business
model opens the path to the full inte
gration of processes and the application
of technology also in the environment
of services. The commercial outsourcing
market will still develop intensely based
on an increasingly greater scope of ser
vices provided.
Where is Poland in all of this?
Poland is still the leader in our part
of Europe and the world in terms of the
number of operational units; for many
companies it is also the main country
where research and development cen
tres with business transformation func
tions are established. Several years ago,
we demonstrated our chief assets as an
attractive place to establish production
units; then, we became one of the top
places for business operation and logis
tics centres; now it is time for expert and
R&D centres, analytical centres and, hope
fully, for the designing of automated solu
tions for business services.
Not only globally but also in centres
based in Poland will we observe auto
mation of simple standardized processes
based on algorithms or repeatability of
actions. Especially due to the fact that
this is no longer secret knowledge but
“open source” solutions or “code free”
applications.
Will robots take away our jobs?
In countries like Poland robots can
even generate more work for people.
Please remember that many years
ago ERP systems provided companies
with a platform for data integration;
shared services centres also guarantee
a platform enabling integration and
coordination of key elements of business
operations. Technological solutions have
been strongly affecting our industry in
recent years, e.g. optical character reco
gnition (OCR) systems eliminate to a sig
nificant extent the manual introduction
of data, the use of cloud-stored databases
have provided users with access to data in
real time, while mobile applications have
enabled personalized access to data and
information.
Just like the solutions mentioned above,
robotics will also guarantee labour cost
saving through the elimination and auto
mation of successive operational areas
– thanks to the application of designed
algorithms and artificial intelligence
modules. Still, someone has to design
these algorithms. Just as a centralization
of processes provides access to better use
of resources, robotics provides business
services centres with, on the one hand,
a potential for greater effectiveness and,
on the other hand, new areas of business
support with the application of techno
logies. It seems that robotics will rather
serve as a cure for manpower shortage,
which is noticeable in many countries,
or for unfavourable demography, rather
than an actual“thief”of jobs.
How to acquire competences of
the future?
Most importantly, it is necessary
to shorten the path of their acquisition.
We need to remember that most of the
challenges and problems an organization
faces someone has already solved; hence,
getting the precise knowledge or infor
mation about “how” these problems can
be solved is of crucial importance. In the
Everyone, without
exception, should
use the platforms for
knowledge exchange
that already exist
such as the “SSC
Lions” initiative –
a unique networking
project, which allows
smaller centres
to demonstrate
their presence on
the map of shared
services but also, and
perhaps most of all,
provides access to the
experience of other
organizations.

event of services centres, many challen
ges repeat themselves, especially due
to the fact that these organizations are at
varied levels of advancement.
The companies that have been opera
ting the outsourcing model for a dozen
years, have an appropriate scale and an
established model of action, must look
for unique competences which enable
the combination of future technologies
with advanced analytical processes,
whereas smaller services centres, which
have been operational for a short time,
should draw from the experience of the
sector; they need to share knowledge,
not be afraid to ask for help, participate
in special events, like the BSS Tour, or
workshops, webcasts and other solutions
dedicated to that.
