Designing
The
pressure begins to mount. Based on your evaluation exercise, Senior Management
have bought into your case, carved out funding for you, promised they’ll support
you based on certain deliverables, and permitted you to take the next, and
possibly most crucial, step – designing.
At this stage critical elements require detailed design and then agreement by the
Group CFO and the executive. Getting the CFO to back: the shared services model
and vision you decide (basic or competitive, cluster, regional or global); the
charging model and mechanism; the service level agreements; the communication
and message to the rest of the business; and the shift of responsibility from
local function management to central will prove invaluable.
sharedserviceslink.com can help you ensure that this design phase covers all
bases, from successfully securing senior management buy in, to communicating
your shared services plan elegantly, to selecting a location, scoping out
functions, timing your migration, selecting a phased or big bang approach,
selecting your accounting system, managing the change, setting up the pricing
model and SLA, and inspiring customers to love you and help you. Our reports,
events and information will help you manage your design stage efficiently and
successfully.
