IACCM’s keynote session kicks off on Tuesday, March 23rd at
5:00pm. The IACCM provides the services and knowledge required
to enable organizational and professional excellence in contracting
and commercial management. As our partner, the IACCM will
deliver a brand new track, From Contracting to Collaboration, on Wednesday and Thursday.
This is a key breakthrough at the Shared Services & Outsourcing Week. After all, an increasing number
of global leaders, academics and senior executives acknowledge the key role of contracting in 21st
century business. Commercial and contracting competence has risen to the forefront as a tool for
managing and overseeing trade relationships, ensuring the quality of governance and delivering
improved bottom-line performance.
During this track, we will reveal the capabilities that lead to ‘most admired’ status and hear from some
of the leaders to understand what they have done already and where they plan to go in order to
maintain competitive edge. This track is a must-attend for anyone who wants to explore cross-
functional shared service models or is already engaged in structuring, negotiating or managing
complex, outcome-based contracts and relationships.
See IACCM’s track sessions on Wednesday, starting at 11:00am. You can also read more about the
IACCM on their website at www.IACCM.com.

participants include the following: 5+ years’ strategy and delivery experience, 100+ seats, more than pure
transactional, multifunctional responsibility, multinational scope of customer base and current practitioner.
The discussions in this room will craft a vision for the next generation in shared services and outsourcing,
providing a unique platform for industry-wide thought leadership and as luminaries in the space. In the Blue
Sky Innovation Room, participants will help establish guiding principles and benchmarks for others to follow.

7. A Focus on Business Outcomes Based on
the Core Fundamentals
No matter from which angle you’re
approaching challenges, Shared Services &
Outsourcing Week has it covered!
We surveyed our attendees to get a refresher on which core fundamentals make their
shared services operation a success, irrespective of function.
Here’s what you said:
• People & Change Management
• Governance, Risk & Compliance
• Process Transformation
• Climbing Up the Value Chain
We take feedback seriously, so this year’s agenda topics are founded on these key
principles. In addition, we’ve added functional tracks to tackle specific HR and Finance
issues. Lastly, to fully optimize the learning experience at the event, there are numerous
opportunities to meet peers based on experience level via the Blue Sky Track, Speed
Networking and the multi-tracked agenda! See the agenda to find out which sessions
make the most sense for you.
“This conference is important to me because it tells me what I shouldn't do, what to
watch out for, to not jump the gun; it shows me the road where I need to begin.”
- Penny Formella, Shared Services Leader, Actuant Corporation, 2009 Shared
Services Summit attendee
