This session covers the latest research from the Business Learning Institute (BLI) about what it takes to create a magnetic firm culture and scores the latest issues facing CPA firms, top skills needed, and an innovation index.

2. EVENT DIRECTOR’S WELCOME NOTE
SSO WEEK 2015:
Delivering Increased Value through Digital Transformation,
Data Analytics and Enhanced Partnerships
A common refrain in the shared services and outsourcing community used to be that the industry in
Australia and New Zealand was 4-5 years behind the rest of the world.
But 2015 is the year that many of the global trends we have seen at SSON, such as Global Business
Services and Global Process Owners, hit the mainstream in Australia and New Zealand, bringing the
industry in line with global developments.
With that in mind, SSO Week 2015 will be focused on ‘what’s next’ for Australian SSOs, with particular
reference to:
• Global Business Services – With organisations like BP, ANZ and Rio Tinto adopting a GBS model, what
does it mean for Australian businesses and how can they leverage it to deliver increased value?
• Partnering – With the global BPO market now worth over $460 Billion and on the increase, how can
businesses transition their partnerships from transactional to value based agreements, and how can
they build on their relationship management capabilities?
• Robotic Process Automation – is robotic process automation set to change the shared services and
outsourcing industry as we know it, with 24/7/365 processing capabilities, or is it just another buzz phrase?
• Future Work Places – with two out of three companies set to have a BYOD solution by 2017, the rise of
activity based working, remote agents and an increasingly mobile workforce, what does that mean for
the SSO operation of the future?
To reflect the innovation taking place in the industry, we have also taken a fresh approach to how the event
will be delivered. For the first time in our history, we will be reserving the main stage for practitioner
case studies and benchmarking studies only, with bespoke solution provider break out sessions targeted
towards your specific challenges and needs.
I hope you find the program we have put together for 2015 relevant and valuable and I welcome your
feedback on it.
I look forward to meeting you in Melbourne in June.
Kind regards,
Ross Clayton
Head of A/NZ, SSON
WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2015?
More than 50 case studies, with over 90% of the
speakers brand new to the line up, ensuring that we
keep the content fresh every year
Four international case studies bringing you global
best practice in Global Business Services, outsourcing
partnerships and government shared services
Two exclusive site tours to NAB and BP Elite, giving you
the chance to take a sneak peak at the shared service
operations of some of Australia’s leading brands
Six Master Classes, designed to give you tools and
takeaways for your current role, on topics as varied as
change management, vendor relationship management,
benchmarking, establishing a shared services
organisation, leveraging global business services
and overcoming the hurdles to shared services in a
government context

4. GOODBYE
ONSTAGE
SALES
PITCHES.
HELLO, ALL PRACTITIONER-
LED PLENARY AND
TRACKED SESSIONS...
Ever find yourself zoning out the moment you realise someone is selling you
something you didn’t ask for? Well, we do – and so do a lot of our customers.
That’s why starting in 2015, SSON has done away with vendors taking the stage to
pitch their products and replaced it with an all practitioner-led speaker faculty for
our plenary and tracked sessions.
This means you’ll get access to a practitioner’s point of view every time you come
to one of our events. Your time spent with us will be 100% more effective as you
learn from peers about their experiences, lessons learned and their roadmap to
success.
Now, don’t get us wrong – our vendors still have a very prominent place at
our events, because we know they provide an enormous amount of value and
knowledge for you. (If anything, many of the practitioners you’ll hear from owe
their success to a partnership with a solution-provider!)
However, it will be up to you when and where you hear from solution-providers –
whether through a 1-to-1 meeting to discuss a specific challenge, during a master
class or workshop catering to niche groups or within the Exhibition Hall to get an
understanding of all the new technology available to empower your success.
It is our primary responsibility to make sure you widen your networks and hear
the content you signed up for when you attend an SSO Week. This is our first step
(of many) to stick by our word.
Here’s to a new standard in the events industry for the shared services and
outsourcing community.

8. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NETWORKING!
Every year the SSO Week audience tells us that networking opportunities are the
number one benefit of the SSO Weeks around the world.
That’s why each year we hone and refine the networking functions and
opportunities to give you even more time to interact with your peers…
• Back by popular demand, the Functional Roundtables split the audience along
Finance, Procurement, HR, Customer Service and Digital Transformation lines
to allow you to debate the issues that matter to you with the people most
relevant to you.
• Following its successful launch in 2014, the SSO Week Networking App is
returning in 2015. This mobile platform enables you to start your networking
before the conference even starts, by setting up your profile, finding and
connecting with like-minded professionals and pre-arranging one-to-one
meetings.
• Once again the Exhibition Hall is at the heart of the networking at SSO Week,
giving you the opportunity to connect with leading consultancies, BPO advisory
services and solution providers, as well as mingle with your practitioner
colleagues. And with the new additions in 2015 of the Technology Cube
and Surgery, there is even more to gain from your time spent here!
• No SSO Week would be complete without the SSON Excellence Awards Gala
Dinner, the night we where we recognise and celebrate our industry’s
achievements over the past year. With a record number of nominations in 2014,
who knows what the 2015 awards have in store!
• Plus all the usual fun and informal networking opportunities, including the

MASTER CLASS C:
Friday, 12 June 2015 | 14:00 – 16:30
SHARED SERVICES IN
GOVERNMENT: TODAY’S
CHALLENGES, TOMORROW’S
OPPORTUNITIES
In this master class participants will be able to share their
experience and build on their understanding of:
• Why has the experience of implementing shared services
in central government been so mixed?
• What are the key requirements to get public sector
shared services off the starting blocks?
• In-house or outsourced – what are the specific benefits of
these models to public sector organisations?
• How important is benchmarking to success?
• Who is delivering ‘best practice’ in public sector and what
makes them different?’
Participants will be able to share their own experiences and
learnings, as well as accessing current best practices from the
US, UK and other European governments.
Master Class Facilitator:
Roy Barden
Shared Services Director
UK Cabinet Office
Roy is a Director of the UK Government Cabinet Office with
responsibility for the first Outsourced Shared Service Centre. He
has spent the last 17 years implementing and operating both in-
house and outsourced Shared Service / Global Business Services.
He has worked in delivery roles and as a consultant and advisor.

MASTER CLASS B:
Tuesday, 9 June 2015 | 14:00 – 16:30
STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING
THE PERFORMANCE OF OFFSHORE
PARTNERSHIPS
A strong partnership between clients and vendors is a key ingredient to
high performance of the offshore activity. Yet, with all the noise around
analytics, reporting, SLAs and commercial metrics, it often gets the least
conscious effort. Offshoring relationships can start to sour and ultimately
performance starts to slip. Onshore and offshore leadership is often not
strong enough to redirect performance virtually and across cultures. In her
previous role as Business Relationship Manager, Div was able to develop
an effective framework for dealing with scenarios such as these in Mumbai
and Manila. Div uses this framework currently in her practice to support
Australian leaders to lift performance in Asian offshore activity.
During this master class Div will share this framework and provide
attendees with:
• An understanding of how to conduct a diagnostic of their current
arrangement
• Tips on how to align metrics and desired outcomes to ensure that
the correct behaviours are prioritised
• Learning on the most effective leadership traits for improving the
performance of partnerships across cultures
• Strategies to ensuring on-going maintenance of the relationship
Master Class Facilitator:
Div Pillay
Director
Mindtribes
Over 16 years, Div’s recognised area of specialty is in knowledge transfer and
leadership in the BPO space. She led the cultural, product and system knowledge
transfer for both Optus and MYOB, gaining sustainable performance improvements
within 12-18 months collaborating with two vendor partners in India and Manila.
Over the last two years she has extensively coached senior and operational leaders
to manage their performance and careers during offshoring activity in the manufacturing,
banking, automotive and pharmaceutical industries. She currently consults to companies in the
insurance, banking and oil and gas industries on cross-cultural performance.
MASTER CLASS A:
Tuesday, 9 June 2015 | 14:00 – 16:30
A-Z OF PLANNING AND
LAUNCHING YOUR SSO
Setting out on your Shared Services and Outsourcing

Neil Padley is one of the leading experts in the shared

check out his bio below) and in this workshop he will
guide the participants on the common pitfalls and
things to consider, with particular reference to:
• Creating a service, rather than a transactional
processing, culture
• Understanding which processes represent the best
candidates for the initial launch of your shared service
• How to choose the right pricing model for your
organisation
• Balancing standardisation vs specialisation
• Overcoming resistance to change
Master Class Facilitator:

MASTER CLASS E:
Tuesday, 9 June 2015 | 16:30 – 19:00
DEVELOPING A FOOL PROOF
CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Often shared services professionals are drawn to the role
due to their focus on process and they can sometimes lack
some of the softer skills necessary for effective change
management. But change management is a discipline that
can be learnt and trained, and central to effective change
management is developing a framework and a plan.
In this session, Daryl will draw on his background in both
shared services and disaster response planning to outline
the key fundamentals necessary for your next change
management plan, by focusing on:
• Understanding the key pillars of a successful change
management plan
• Addressing the key communication channels and the
relative merits of each
• Discussing business continuity planning and how it can
be effectively integrated into a change management plan
Master Class Facilitator:
Daryl Cornish
Director Professional Services,
Victoria University
Daryl’s professional interests focus on educational administration
services to support scholarly activity. He was approached to
set up the entire shared professional services unit for Victoria
University and once established, was appointed to the position
of Director of Professional Services. Professional Services is
responsible for the delivery of valuable support services to individuals and
groups across the university, and to senior executives and college offices. High
quality, cost effective services are available across the university, including

MASTER CLASS D:
Tuesday, 9 June 2015 | 16:30 – 19:00
DEMONSTRATING ROI AND
MOVING TO BEST IN CLASS
THROUGH BENCHMARKING
As an increasing number of organisations look to shared
services and outsourcing to improve operational agility and
reduce their operating costs, the need for ‘best practice’
rings louder than ever. During this workshop Richard will
outline how you can leverage developments in the wider
industry to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your
operation.
Specifically, he will address:
• Drawing comparisons with local competitors and world
class cases
• Using benchmarking for more tangible performance
optimisation discussions with the business
• Selecting promising areas for business process
engineering initiatives
• Correctly identifying areas for additional investment in
your SSC
