The latest challenge for Eastern Europe Service Centres is to stay ahead of the competition in regards to talent, digital disruption and harnessing value or risk losing out and being left behind. This is something Simona Simion-Popescu, BSO Director, Coca Cola Hellenic is very aware of. When asked what she thinks Coca Cola Hellenic and the industry as a whole will look like in 5 years she stated, "I am sure in 5 years we will see things we do not even imagine today!" Simion-Popescu went on to add "Besides that we will see more and more automation using artificial intelligence, more value add services and great customer experience provided by in-house/ shared services and more transitional activities outsourced to the BPOs."

This is something Simona is likely to touch on during her panel discussion on Conference Day One at the event, where she will be joined by Szilvia Bogdán, International Region, Project Director HR SSC, Avis Europe and Tomasz Brzostowski, Director - Global Finance Shared Services, Hitachi Data Systems to discuss Benchmarking across CEE: Assessing regional development, talent and regulation to keep ahead of a rapidly changing market.

SSON's 10^th Annual Eastern European Shared Services Week is being held in Budapest, Hungary from the 10^th -12^th October. The event will gather 150+ senior executives for four days of frank case studies, unique regional specific information sharing sessions and benchmarking exercises.
