Shared Service Skills And Knowledge For Your Organisation

Organisations who are entering into shared service discussions have an obligation to ensure that they are "collaboration ready". Prof. Chris Huxam, a world leader in the academic study of shared services, describes it as having "collaborative advantage".

Collaborative advantage is when you are considered by the other partners to be, not only a good partner to share with, but also they perceive you as the "lead partner" amongst equals.
