    Flexible departmental culture best suited for “Compete”

  • Deconstruct existing shared services based on competing values

  • Continue Traditional Shared Services
    Transactional and Administrative
    Primarily back-office centered

    Combine internal and external data for Predictive Analytics

    SaaS Partnerships for scalability
