Overcoming the Hurdle: Doing More With Less

In 2017, Turner relaunched its leading practice HR service delivery model to improve operational performance and boost employee satisfaction. HR needed to invest to be more efficient while remaining nimble—the ability to do more with less. Improvements to the model allowed HR to adequately support Turner’s strategic initiatives and the new pace of change. This session will dive into what was different this time, including changes to its original delivery model and the addition of new technologies, and where Turner is a year later.

Our Journey Aligning Autonomous Shared Services under an Enterprise Wide Model

We suspect our journey is a little different than others. The Enterprise Shared Service group at Kaiser Permanente must deliver enterprise-wide results, but without a direct reporting relationship to ESS for many of the functions. We all know it’s a “journey” with multiple phases needed to achieve our vision, but selling that journey to our stakeholders from the outset is easier said than done. This is a story of how Kaiser Permanente began with 60+ Shared Service opportunities, narrowed down to focusing on 22, and then selected 10 to accelerate and deliver Enterprise wide results. Join this session to hear how we established multi-function shared service governance without a GBS (or multi-function) structure, created a baseline for consistency in measurement across very different shared services, and motivated progress and tangible movement to get results. All of this while leading the affordability conversation in US healthcare – from one of the most expensive markets in the country!
