Innovation is of value in shared services as it helps teams to get better results more efficiently. People also enjoy trying new ways to do things and take pride in the results. Our clients have spoken to us lots about innovative ways of working. We all know that they key to innovation is the ability to share ideas and information with people who share the same challenges and opportunities as we do.
Innovation is typically at its strongest when companies work together – sharing ideas, challenging each other and trying to understand what others have done to overcome issues and barriers. We are fortunate to have a large number of clients who are open to sharing ideas and suggestions with other companies – in the hope that they will also gain some insights in return. We all know that there are conferences and large benchmarking and research organisations who can provide good insights – but this would be an opporutnity for something a little less formal. A kind of ’starter’ if you like -just a brokered introduction with like minded individuals and an opportunity to share ideas. If you would be interested in meeting with some colleagues in a similar shared services operation to yours then please do get in touch and we’ll see what we can do!
