Case study 05 · 2013—2016

Making shared services repeatable

Helped mature shared-service organisations across Commercial, Human Resources and Finance, turning experience into reusable standards and design learning.

Buildonce, learn always

The challenge

New shared-service organisations needed a clearer definition of good performance and a more repeatable route from design to operation.

What changed

  1. Helped shape and mature shared-service organisations across Commercial, Human Resources and Finance.
  2. Defined service performance standards and benchmarking approaches.
  3. Created a practical playbook for establishing new shared-service organisations.
  4. Ran lessons learned across organisations so insight was applied across the network and built into the design of new businesses.
  5. Captured design choices so later teams could reuse the thinking rather than restart from first principles.
Scale

A strategy and implementation approach designed for reuse across Commercial, Human Resources and Finance service organisations.

Result

A clearer performance language, cross-organisation learning and a repeatable path for standing up new capabilities.

What it enabled

Principles that later became part of the R&D Functional Expert operating model.
