Shared services organizations have become an indispensable part of modern project management. They provide the necessary support to project management and the resources to ensure the success of initiatives. Shared services organizations build teams responsible for the design, implementation and execution of services. Expert teams can be instrumental in achieving efficient results thanks to their multiple cross-functional capabilities.
Markets, technologies, stakeholder expectations, and other dimensions are changing faster than ever, and strategies that worked in the past won’t necessarily work in the future. Companies that cannot develop and implement strategy will lose their current advantages over time and miss the many new opportunities to create value in today’s dynamic global market.
Across all industries, there is a heightened focus on how organizations address Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. In response to an increased focus on metrics beyond traditional financial performance (e.g., carbon emissions, diversity of the workforce, etc.), many organizations are thinking about how best to embed ESG considerations into strategy and operations. As the universe of ESG issues is broad and continues to evolve, it is important that your organization ground any ESG efforts on those issues most material to your stakeholders.
ScottMadden can help you with identifying strategies that provide a competitive advantage while improving your ESG objectives and ensuring seamless integration into your overall organizational goals and business operations.
