“We are delighted to co-host this event with JPD Financial and have the opportunity to discuss such important topics with many distinguished professionals”, said Phil Searle, “The concepts of Shared Services has been in practice for around 30 years now and continue to evolve.  We are again entering a new era with numerous factors creating uncertainty but also opportunity.  Despite the changing environment, it is still critical to balance the four critical success factors of people, process, client and technology for any business transformation or Shared Services operations.”
