Capacity • Does the provider have the requisite scale? • Does the provider have the capacity to meet current and future demand? • How secure is the access to the provider’s capacity? Viability • Is the provider financially strong? • Are there market/competitive developments that are likely to threaten the provider’s survival? Track-Record • Does the provider have a proven track record of delivering successful results? • Does the provider have a history of innovation in the space?

  14. PLANNING:Setting up for success Define the strategic intent • Cost reduction • Value creation • Improved controllership • Improved business controls • Enhanced flexibility / Plug and Play • Operational Excellence 1 2 3 Define the operating and organization models Develop the business case Senior Management Sponsorship • Project benefits • Project risks and mitigation plans • ROI and payback • Scope of operations • Process model • Technology architecture • Pricing model • Service Level Agreements • Organization model Robust program management

  15. PLANNING:Aligning the “WHY?” with the “WHAT?” Establish the strategic intent • Develop senior managementconsensus regarding vision for the Outsourcing and why it needs to be implemented • Essential to define prior to defining operating model and organization design • ALL downstream decisions require a clear understanding of the ultimate goal Define the model 1 • Define comprehensive Front Office/ Back Office process model covering • shared transaction services • Centres of Excellence • Business partners • Understand real business opportunities and constraints • Take holistic approach to org, design including ‘retained operations’ • Leverage technology Develop the business case • Critical input for the investment decision • Necessary to convince management and businesses to pursue Outsourcing • Forms baseline for measuring progress and success • Identifies constraints / requirements for later design • All subsequent steps undertaken if the business case is attractive 2 3

  16. PLANNING:Addressing “HOW?” – “Make or Buy” Strategic Fit Which structure will best help us meet our strategic and operational goals given our core competencies, competitive landscape, and growth objectives? Economic Impact What are the required investments (time and money) versus the anticipated benefits (savings and service level improvements) of each option to our shareholders and stakeholders? Required Timing What is the required timeframe to reach steady state and achieve payback on investment? Operating Model Which structure will best enable us to achieve best-in-class performance in our required timeframe? Cultural Fit Can we view an outsourcer as a partner and will an outsourcing partner offer best-in-class capabilities vs. In-sourcing? Risk Management What are the regulatory, operational, socioeconomic, and financial risks of each option and how can they be mitigated?

  17. PLANNING:Aligning the “Make-Buy” outcome to the strategic intent How to Decide? “Make”: In-source “Buy”: Outsource Strategic Fit • Process is not unique and/or core to company Economic Impact • Significant investment required to make internal processes competitive • Constraints on capital spending Required Timing • Required payback period is 2-3 years Operating Model • Need to upgrade systems and technologies to be competitive • Need to leverage multi-client volume to gain maximum scale advantages Cultural Fit • Suitable outsourcing partners available • Senior management support for outsourcing Risk Management • Low risk of intellectual property loss • Need to leverage outsourcers’ disaster recovery infrastructure • No regulatory constraints • Strategic Fit • Process is unique and/or core to company • Economic Impact • Internal processes are competitive • Few constraints on capital spending Required Timing • Required payback period is 4-6 years • Operating Model • Fully integrated systems environment in place with access to innovative technologies • Adequate volume to achieve maximum scale advantages Cultural Fit • Lack of suitable outsourcing partners available • Lack of senior management support for outsourcing Risk Management • High risk of intellectual property loss • Disaster recovery infrastructure in place • Regulatory constraints / uncertainties

  18. PLANNING:What goes wrong • Mis-alignment between strategic vision and operating model • Organisational model does not support strategic objectives • Insufficient investment in supporting technology • Sub-optimal scope through: • failure to address areas outside transactional shared services • lack of fact based analysis of potential functional scope • weak project sponsorship • Mis-alignment between financial business case and strategic vision • Business case built around labour arbitrage and efficiency only • Lack of clarity around the As Is • full current costs • baseline performance and service levels • Over-promise on financial business case to help drive buy-in

  19. GOVERNANCE:Avoiding ‘Them’ and ‘Us’ Executive Governance Council “Set strategic directions and develop long term outcome goals” Management Steering Council “Manage overall service performance and changes” Operations Control Committee “Manage day-to-day operations” • Managing the relationship • Define structured processes to manage the relationship effectively and efficiently • Service delivery should be monitored at eachlevel at a predefinedfrequency • Performance measurement should cover the end-to-end process • Should include members from all business units being serviced by the Outsourcing Services Organization

  20. GOVERNANCE:What goes wrong Executive Governance Council • Fails to set direction and update vision for changing business environment • Fails to set challenging targets • Does not promote culture of ‘one finance organisation’ Management Steering Council • Narrows focus to performance of Outsourcing organisation • Loses sight of overall process health and process performance Operations Control Committee • Not empowered to resolve issues • “Talking shop”

  21. Management of Change (MoC):What goes wrong • It doesn’t happen!

  22. Performance Management:Measuring what matters Defining structured Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is essential • Defines accountability • Assures businesses that service levels would not suffer “Helps build trust among stakeholders” • SLA / KPI definition • Linked to overall strategic objectives for Outsourcing • Based on genuine business requirements – Output based • Defines roles and responsibilities of all parties involved • Measures overall health of process not just spot performance As the relationship matures, move from measuring operational SLAs to business objectives linked SLAs for maximum benefits

  23. Performance Management:What goes wrong No baseline • performance of current operations not baselined Poor design • not built into process / technology design so difficult to measure on a timely or reliable basis • insufficient involvement from stakeholders reduces buy-in to measures Poor definition • too many / too detailed • used as a tool to gain project buy-in so based on current finance performance (or belief) not real business requirements • wrong focus - measuring shared services only, not process as a whole Poor reporting • reduces trust in Outsourcing services organisation Weak review process • not updated for changes in business environment and priorities so fail to provide ongoing challenge to performance of Outsourcing organisation

  24. Operational excellence:Not just about engineering Data Production Line Continuous Improvement post implementation of Data Production Line CONSOLIDATION QUALITY C0MPLIANCE • Drive out process defects through programs like Six Sigma • Embed quality at the source • Ensure standardization through certifications (like ISO), documentation standards etc. • Economies of place Operational Excellence STANDARDIZATION • Economies of scale • Improved processes and policies • Information harmonization PROCESS IMPROVEMENT • Eliminate waste through techniques like Industrial Engineering, Lean etc. AUTOMATION • Improved processes (Straight through processing) • Reduced touch-points and errors Operational Excellence should not be bolted on after implementation – it needs to be built into each stage and workstream of the project

  25. Operational excellence:What goes wrong • Costs (infrastructure and headcount) and benefits (value creation and cost avoidance) not identified and built into business case • Operating and organisation model do not incorporate elements required to deliver long term operational excellence • Performance monitoring encourages focus on narrow, tactical issues and misses broader, and more significant, strategic benefits available • Objectives and challenges not renewed and updated based on external benchmarks and changing business requirements and priorities • Recruitment, training, mentoring and development not established to support operational excellence • HR, reward, recognition and promotion policies not aligned to needs of operational excellence • Management of change does not address changes required in retained organisation and other stakeholders to deliver end-to-end excellence • Solution and technology focuses on enablement of remote operation not enablement of value creation, process efficiency, control and excellence Operational Excellence must be embedded into all aspects of the BPO Transformation programme

  26. Compliance • Transition controls • Process documentation • Ownership definition • Knowledge transfer procedure • GAAP compliance • Policy compliance • Operations controls • Segregation of duties • Transaction audit trails • SOX • Steady-state controls • SAS 70 reporting • Self audits • Forensic audits • Account reconciliation • Privacy impact assessment • Operational risks • External disasters • Internal process breakdowns • Brand risks • Non-compliance • Accounting lapse • Privacy breach • Information breach Data privacy and information security • Meet all legal requirements with minimum intrusiveness • Policies for collection, storage, usage and sharing Continuity • BCP planning, testing and execution built into our price • Global team for pre-incident planning and post-incident response and recovery • Financial risks • Customer defections • Revenue leakage • Fraud impact Transparency • Standard and proprietary tools to monitor and report operations • SLA violation prediction • Resource optimization Creating the Value - Mitigating Risk

  27. Reduce finance transaction processing cost by 20 – 30 % through global consolidation • Further reduce cost by 20 – 30% by automation Develop a compelling business case • Strive to be in the first quartile by cost in the industry • Improved controllership Define the strategic intent • Define accountabilities – For O2C (Debt Management – Retained, Cash Application – Shared Service) • Pricing – local controllers charged based on transactions Set expectations upfront Senior management support • CEO / CFO / COO responsible for SSC / Outsourcing • Position Shared Services leader as a peer of business leaders Develop a tiered Governance structure • Plan what needs to achieve over the next 3-4 year • Monitor performance through SLAs Ten tips to ensure success

  28. Develop a communication plan targeted at various stakeholder groups • Anticipate and manage risks proactively Manage organization change • Train internal resources for new responsibilities • Invest in hiring resources with skills in Shared Services implementation Invest in training and recruitment Manage transition risks • Give the organization time to digest changes due to Outsourcing and then transforming • Standardize processes – Challenge legacy and move towards best practices • Automate to reduce touch-points Set up a data production line Embed Operations Excellence in Shared Services DNA • Focus on quality and build quality at all stages and in all workstreams of the programme • Focus on compliance and improvements • Focus on building a sustainable operation Ten tipsto ensure success
