Formula 1's Elvis and Financial Times Columnist Weigh In on Shared Services
LONDON, February 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) has partnered with Marc Priestley, also known as the Formula 1 industry's Elvis, and Ade McCormack, a regular Financial Times columnist specialising in digital strategy, for the 15th Annual European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week, to share their individual view-points and specific knowledge areas to the wider Shared Services and Outsourcing industry.
This partnership comes during SSON's 15th Anniversary of their Flagship European Conference, which will be held at the Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 19 - 21 May, 2015. McCormack will present a "Big Ideas Keynote" at the event, which will focus on a special look into digital strategy, and linking this into the current hot topic within the Shared Services and Outsourcing community: Robotic Process Automation. Priestley will also be presenting a "Big Ideas Keynote", comparing his work in securing marginal gains as a mechanic on the McLaren Formula 1 pit crew, to the shared services equivalent, where the aggregation of marginal gains can make transformative ripples in the industry.
