Corporate & Shared Services
National Insights – Summer Edition
Online: Thursday, May 5, 2022 | 12:00-2:30pm ET • 9:00-11:30am PT
Event Overview
Reimagining Business Processes to Enable the Evolving
Government
Corporate functions play a crucial role in department-wide decision-making and excellence. Coupled with modern approaches to strategy, analytical insight reporting, and ever-evolving trends and expectations, working to deliver value internally and externally means the back-office must always look to optimize their ways of working, and fast.
To aid further exploration of how corporate functions can lean into new technologies and processes to accelerate efficiencies, we’ve put together this ‘Summer Edition’ Virtual Event as part of our 2022 Corporate & Shared Services Community National Insights series.
Join us as we hear case studies from corporate-focused peers and discuss how to further integrate modern practices into all corporate service roles across Canada’s public service. Current corporate challenges, successes and everything in between will be addressed in two concurrent panel sessions, allowing you to choose the one that piques your own interests the most.
