Shared Services Program Overview & Report 

The Leadership for a Networked World Program recently hosted a custom executive education program entitled "The Next Frontier of Shared Services in the Public Sector." The program was supported by Accenture Consulting and Microsoft and focused on analyzing and developing strategies and tactics for shared services and the leadership skills needed to enable the sharing of information within individual organizations, across jurisdictions, and in multi-sector alliances. 

In attendance were over seventy senior practitioners and industry leaders from federal, state and local governments in the United States as well as senior leadership from Australia, Canada, Peru, Romania, and the United Kingdom. Together they worked on framing where the public sector stands today regarding shared services; where it might be tomorrow; and what action it can take, individually and collaboratively, to create public value.

The ideas and strategies developed during this event were captured in a report for general use. Access the report here:
