IAOP’s OWS21 | Event

Everest Group’s Amy Fong and Michel Janssen and will present the keynote session at  IAOP OWS21. The theme of this year’s event – which will be virtual –  is Change is Good: Transformation Through Technology & Business Services to Drive Your Organization and the Global Economy.

Michel and Amy’s keynote presentation, titled, Recalibrating for Resiliency – a Deep Dive into 2021 Key Issues, will kick off the event’s content sessions on February 17.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world as we knew it in 2020, affecting lives and livelihoods across the globe. It forced citizens and countries to find creative ways of living through lockdowns. Most significantly, it catapulted the world into the digital economy (just to stay connected and to survive), which has led to innovative business solutions and a new appreciation for geographic risk. This keynote address examines the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy; touches on the role of innovation in times of crises and opportunity; and sets the scene for the need for greater leadership and cross-regional collaboration than ever before. The presentation will be centered on the latest global research undertaken by Everest Group for IAOP, as its research partner.

Eric Simonson, Managing Partner, Everest Group, will follow, leading the second keynote session titled, 2021 Key Issues: An Advisor View.

Shared Services Forum Virtual Annual Conference 2020 | November 10-11 | Event

Anurag Srivastava will be delivering a session titled 2020 and Beyond: Key Learnings, What Will be the Impact on the Future of Delivery & Location Strategies. 

In this session, Anurag goes beyond commiseration and conjecture and provides a fact-based view of the already-visible effects of the pandemic based on our tracking of outsourcing deals, new global business / shared services centers, location-specific trends, and service provider developments.

He will also take a deep dive into the implications of these developments on future delivery and locations strategies, such as key changes to delivery portfolios, trends in onshoring vs. offshoring, locations portfolio consolidation vs. diversification, rise in large scale hubs vs. small scale centers, and adoption of a remote / work from home delivery model. Questions that Anurag’s session will address:

• How has COVID-19 impacted outsourcing and offshoring services?
• How do global enterprises seem to be changing their delivery strategies (e.g., sourcing model, shoring mix, investments in digital and transformation)?
• What changes are we already seeing in leverage of delivery locations (onshore/nearshore/offshore); how are things likely to change going forward?
• What changes will we see in how enterprises orchestrate their delivery portfolios (e.g., integrate remote delivery, hubs vs. spokes vs. satellites, growth in tier-2/3 cities)?
• How should firms navigate this massive disruption by going back to design principles?
