5th edition Dutch Shared Services Forum (DSSF)

Recently, Accenture’s research report “Trends in Shared Services: Unlocking the full potential” confirms that shared services organizations are enjoying the benefits of cost savings, efficiencies and better service. But the shared services model continues to evolve. One of the main outcomes is that “the gap between what is and what can be will continue to be bridged by the innovative spirit of pioneering shared services leaders”. With this knowledge it is key to have insights in the developments and challenges of Shared Services professionals.

Since December 2009 Finance & Enterprise Performance and Talent & Organisation facilitate the Dutch Shared Services Forum twice a year. During these events structural Shared Service challenges are discussed by Shared Services professionals and Accenture representatives. Although the focus of the event is on HR and Finance, Shared Services Directors from all functions in the Netherlands and Belgium are welcome. By discussing structural challenges, the participating members share knowledge and experience to help each other take Shared Services to the next level.

T&OP supports foundation ‘De Regenboogboom’

With the determination to inspire, foundation ‘De Regenboogboom’ (the rainbow tree) believes that children are within themselves true super heroes and shows them that regardless of their illness (or any other ‘bad’ situation) they are still brave, strong and special. With their unique holistic approach and over 165 volunteers, the foundation offers children the confidence, strength and inner peace in their heavy journal often facing severe life threatening diseases.

By visiting children in hospitals, schools and at home, and using a crystal as an illustrative tool (let the sun shine through it – and a real rainbow appears), the foundation reminds children that it is not their illness that defines them, but the princess or superhero they dream to be. Inside each one of them lies true beauty and greatness.
