Exclusive Industry ContentLess capital expenditure, increased cash fl ow restrictions and a heavy emphasis on short-term business objectives.... It’s a familliar sounding story.

The Australian market place may not have escaped the effects of the Global Financial Crisis, yet the message from the Shared Services industry “Down Under” is loud and clear: 2011 is most defi nitely Shared Services’ time to shine.

I caught up with a few of the esteemed practitioners contributing to the SSO Week agenda in Melbourne to fi nd out...

Barbara Hodge, Premium Content Editor, SSON

How have developments in the Australian market affected SSO activity over the last 12 months?

Bessi: The extreme levels of uncertainty that we’ve experienced over the past two years -- and the resulting conservatism -- have affected shared services through cash fl ow restrictions, pressures to reduce discretionary costs, a stringent focus on overhead functions, and an emphasis on achieving short term objectives rather than building longer term relationships or developing sustainable activities. It has been a tough time for all organisations, but the crisis has provided an opportunity for mature shared services and outsourced service providers to shine. Given the fi nancial pressures placed on our organisation, we’ve undertaken opportunity analysis with our outsourced business process providers, renegotiated our service level agreements and commercials, and engaged in further outsourcing and offshoring for back offi ce functions.

Morris-Smith: One of the things that I have noticed among the not-for-profi t sector is an increased awareness of the lack of suffi cient scale or expertise to access best-practice models and research. As a result, there’s an emerging conversation about the possibility of perhaps either collaborating to create a captive service provider of our own or outsourcing. Generally, the level of shared services activity in the not-for-profi t sector is much less mature – Mission Australia is one of the few to have suffi cient scale, which makes a more mature shared services model possible.

Davood: The Global Financial Crisis has cut the capital expenditure available to SSOs. As a result, decreased capital expenditure has increased the stress on SSOs as they are forced to be reactive.

Miller: Across the Australian marketplace, the Global Financial Crisis appears to have encouraged companies to look more closely at opportunities to gain effi ciency through transferring activities to shared services centres. At BP Elite, we have seen increased interest from other corporates trying to understand what we do and how we deliver results, as they start down their own shared services journey.

What are your predictions for the Australian marketplace over the next year?

Bessi: The Australian market is increasingly being affected by the mega-trends of exponential IT developments, increased focus on environmentally sustainable practices and products, changing work force demographics, and signifi cant cost pressures. In the coming year, my predictions are for varying levels of uncertainty in our two-speed economy, with organisations moving from a “we have gotten through the Global Financial Crisis” mindset to one of “we are now going through even more turbulent and volatile times.”

In the medium to long term, I think that there are a lot of opportunities to be found in value added activities such as spend analytics and data mining; evaluating a paradigm shift in what SSOs believe is possible; and continued strong stakeholder engagement through uncertain times in order to control expectations.

Morris-Smith: I see a growing interest in the effective deployment of shared services in the not-for-profi t sector. We have recently seen larger transactions – such as the purchase by a consortium of not-for-profi ts of the former ABC Learning business. ABC Learning, when it was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, had a market capitalisation in excess of A$1billion. A growing realisation of the opportunities related to scale has now been triggered which is, in turn, encouraging a focus on how the back offi ce can strategically enable the purposes of not-for-profi t organisations.

Davood: The weak US dollar compared to the strong Australian dollar have created the ‘perfect storm’ for higher levels of SSO offshoring.Miller: As the Australian marketplace emerges from the Global Financial Crisis, I expect the war for talent will continue to escalate. As a result, it will be more important than ever that the shared services sector offers a strong value proposition and development opportunities to current and prospective employees.

What are the greatest challenges you are facing for the year ahead?

Bessi: We are under pressure to continue reducing discretionary costs and accelerating value initiatives for the organisation. In addition, we need to hit increased targets, year-on-year, with a reduced workforce made up of baby boomers who are now close to retirement age. At the same time, the new Y and I-generations are expecting increased fl exibility and career choices, as well as rapid progression. So there will be a need to balance individual needs with talent attraction and retention.

Morris-Smith: The continuing challenge for us in the not-for-profi t sector is to persevere in the drive towards best-practice processes, economics and enabling services – and to manage this in an environment where many of us, as individual operators, lack suffi cient scale. It is likely that many in this sector will increasingly be open to considering selective use of outsource providers – especially in specialist/expert areas like procurement.

Davood: We’ve implemented a full end-to-end network cloud computing capability. We’ve also fully virtualised our IT environment.

Miller: The continuing challenge for service centres is to ensure that the entire team is 100% focused on the customer and their needs. Variables such as the economy, employment market, customer offer, ERP, etc., may change throughout the year, but a business services centre needs to maintain its focus and offer a continuous, seamless result, day after day. The only way to achieve this successfully is to ensure your team has a laser-like focus on the customer and a “can-do” attitude to deliver.

How are you moving from administrative supporter to strategic business partner?

Bessi: BlueScope has outsourced transactional activities to our BPO provider, which allows our internal shared services to focus on the paradigm shift and transformational activities that are taking place across the business (eg, spend analytics, automation of processes, and leveraging -- through category management -- corporate services and IT across our global footprint).

Morris-Smith: A key issue here is to hire leaders who understand the concept of “relationship leadership,” rather than just “process leadership.” Another important factor is to create structures and organisational frameworks that enable stakeholders from across the organisation to meet and seek win-win outcomes. In our organisation, we have leadership councils for key areas such as fi nance and IT, where leaders from each division (our internal customers) join with national functional executives, such as the CFO and the CIO, to ensure cohesive strategies and to help the shared services teams engage with their clients and partners more effectively.

Davood: ‘Strategy’ means transitioning the company to a stronger commercial position. Strong IT Leadership is the key.

Miller: To be an effective business partner you need to deliver more than just “the process.” At Elite, BP’s business services centre for Australia and New Zealand, we have focused on ensuring that we deliver not only specifi c outcomes to our partners, but also the benefi t of insight that our data analysis offers. This requires the development of analytical capability and commercial acumen - but also a curiosity about “the story behind the data,” and its implications for the customer.

How are you tackling talent acquisition and retention challenges?

Bessi: BlueScope Steel, the shared services group, and our BPO partner invest in our people to develop their skills and capabilities, and broaden their experiences across our global footprint. This includes developing our talent beyond their functional and business unit boundaries through secondments, project work, and rotations. Our service provider provides an opportunity, through offshoring, to tap an additional talent pool of strongly educated, motivated and aligned employees in new markets.

Morris-Smith: Again, I would emphasise that great leadership is the key to winning the talent game. If people realise your organisation is doing good things and has good leaders, people will want to join you – and stay. Selecting the right management team; retaining and motivating them through a clear vision; providing interesting work; being willing to engage in continuous change; and showing a commitment to fair pay, are all critical elements.

Davood: I leverage staff in roles which I know they enjoy and are challenged by.

Miller: Elite has a strong focus on ensuring our employee value proposition supports our goal to attract and retain the best talent. We regularly survey our employees to ensure we understand their values and motivations, and then review the components of the value proposition to ensure there is alignment. Similarly, we focus on the development of leadership and technical capabilities, and align these to potential career paths throughout the organisation.

To be an effective business partner you need to deliver more than just ‘the process’.... we have focused on ensuring that we deliver not only specifi c outcomes to our partners, but also the benefi t of insight our data analysis offers.

Our mission stays the same: to provide an unbiased platform to counter end-user cynicism and confusion around the growing complexity of sourcing models and solutions. Thanks to your feedback, we have made some changes.

So here’s how we’ve changed:

Individuals NOT Companies2011 is about the unique personalities and their voices, not about companies. You choose the top 6 sell-side industry “gurus” via the G6 voting poll on the website who you believe have personally made a difference in the sourcing community.

‘6 is the New 8’You told us that “G8” were a few “G’s” too many - so we’ve reduced the group to 6. Result: G6 is now the new G8. All of the fi re and brilliant insight - less of the noise.

Vote NowThe questions asked are provocative enough to rival those usually saved for coffee breaks, and the answers are, too - now that the G6 members can use their own voice.

Defi ning a unifi ed, company-wide vision and designing a road map to ensure you reach your desired destination

Instilling a culture of change management amongst leaders for a top down approach

Strategies to prevent failure when instigating cultural and organisational change

09.00 FROM COST-CUTTER TO REVENUE GENERATOR: CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE NEXT WAVE OF VALUE

Shared Services has the opportunity to offer more value and be seen as a greater asset to the business. The increased focus on effi ciency means it is Shared Services’ time to shine. Once the major consolidation steps have been taken and refi ned, SSOs must look to widening their role to become a more prominent player in overall business strategy through high value, advisory services and aligning with business goals. Long utilised elsewhere in the world, Centres of Excellence continue to drive the next wave of value to SSOs globally.

14.15 THE GREAT DEBATE: CAPTIVE, OUTSOURCED OR HYBRID – DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

Attitudes in Australia are changing – outsourced and hybrid are becoming more common models of choice. This discussion will help you to analyse the current trends in the market and typical questions posed by SSCs at each stage of the maturity curve:

Making the leap from captive to outsourced – is it really a natural progression? Is there a right time?

Mix and match: Assessing what options are available in hybrid models and how to prioritise what goes and what stays

Square peg, round hole: What happens when the numbers stack up but outsourcing doesn’t look like a cultural fi t?
