Sub-Conference Themes HR Outsourcing: Creating Tomorrow’s HR Organization Today Driven by the need to reduce costs, refocus the HR staff and move HR administration to Web-based employee self-services, HR outsourcing has quickly become one of the top outsourcing opportunities for many companies. It’s a wide-open market with dozens of major providers scrambling for position and an almost dizzying array of options for potential customers to sort through. Who Will Benefit: HR professionals, at all levels of the organization, who are involved in evaluating, implementing or managing HR outsourcing contracts. | Information and Communications Outsourcing: From Revolution to Evolution – What’s Next for IT Outsourcing IT outsourcing is certainly not new, but it is an ever-changing field with each new deal redefining what’s possible. Offshoring has become a big part of the equation as has re-insourcing as some major companies, like Bank One and Ford, actually pull back-in activities once outsourced. This track will examine the latest developments in IT outsourcing from the perspective of the experienced practitioner. Who Will Benefit: IT executives, professionals, consultants and advisors with ongoing responsibility for the creation and management of outsourcing relationships. | Experienced Practitioner’s Forum: Creating Organizational-Wide Success For many customer executives and professionals, outsourcing now defines their jobs – whether they are responsible for supporting outsourcing from their company’s procurement operation, lead shared services operations or head-up their company’s outsourcing project office. This track covers the tough issues faced by these professionals day-in and day-out. Who Will Benefit: Experienced outsourcing practitioners and professionals from shared services organizations, sourcing, procurement, supply chain management, outsourcing project offices, and outsourcing competency centers. | Finance & Accounting Outsourcing Comes of Age CFOs and their staff from across all types of organizations are now examining finance and accounting outsourcing, especially for transaction-intensive areas of their operation, such as, accounting, receivables and payables. Who Will Benefit: CFOs, controllers, vice presidents of finance, senior department heads, shared services executives, IT professionals supporting their company’s financial services operations. | Real Estate & Facilities Management Outsourcing: Building for the Future Real Estate and Facilities Management Outsourcing is not new, yet the industry continues to evolve and change for the future. This track addresses the latest management practices in blending the spectrum of facilities outsourcing opportunities from real estate portfolio outsourcing to facilities services outsourcing. Who Will Benefit: Vice presidents of corporate real estate, facilities planning and site managers, managers of site services, such as, mailrooms, copy centers and food services. | For Providers Only: Succeeding in Today’s Outsourcing Industry This track is designed for marketing, sales and delivery executives and professionals in outsourcing service provider organizations. It addresses contemporary issues in building and managing an outsourcing company. Who Will Benefit: Executives and managers in outsourcing service provider companies with responsibility for marketing, sales, finance or delivery. | Manufacturing Services Outsourcing: Taking Lean Manufacturing to the Next Level Manufacturing Services Outsourcing, or MSO, is to manufacturing what BPO is to the corporate headquarters. It represents all of the services that surround the manufacturing operation, from logistics and warehousing to facilities maintenance to by-product management. These activities represent a significant portion of a product’s final cost and outsourcing can not only reduce these costs, but increase the flexibility of the entire manufacturing operation. Who Will Benefit: This track will be designed for manufacturing executives and managers, from engineers through plant managers. | Special Topics: Changing Fields – Timely Coverage The special topics deal with additional, often emerging outsourcing opportunities.
