Revolutionalising Value: Intelligent Automation, Data-Driven Service Innovation, and Impactful Next-Gen Talent Strategies
Value-add within Business Services is not a new concept, and yet according to
SSON's 2019 Global State of the Industry, 70% of Business Services are struggling to define or to transition into a model where they are successfully adopting a knowledge-based, value-add framework. Those that are showing a strong and obvious commitment to moving away from "traditional, transactional" to true value-add are doing so by widening their scope, by championing intelligent process improvement, automation and data analytics, creating centres of excellence and internal competencies that will demonstrate their value to the business.
However, technology is only one part of the puzzle. In order to develop a service-centric organisation, pioneering organisations need to be continuously evolving to changing business needs. Change management and culture creation needs to be embedded into the heart of service organisations, and companies need to be prioritising innovative talent management solutions to ensure engagement, productivity and in turn retention remain high.
Innovative Business Services organisations need to be gaining the trust and support of their businesses through data-driven service innovation, intelligent automation and next generation talent management strategies in order for them to truly create value added agile service. Are you ahead of the curve, or chasing it?
