- Getting Past the Basics Continuing to Add Value Beyond Cost Savings: Bill Frech, partner and managing director, CFO Services North America, and Sue Danino, project director, will address the demand for improvement found today in many mature SSOs by exploring expansion opportunities and its benefits, as well as critical success factors based on best-in class case study examples.

This session will focus on how to maximize value through aligning SSOs with business needs and determining the global versus regional service delivery footprint.
