Over 50 leading Shared Services organizations competed for 3rd Shared Services Excellence Awards in five categories: Best Mature Shared Services Organizations (winner Procter & Gamble), Best New Shared Services Organization (Surrey County Councils), The most advanced Automation of a Shared Services Organization (Reuters), Shared Services leader of the Year (Tetrapak) and Shared services Employer of the Year (Diageo).
It is a great success that next year will see the 7th annual Shared Services Week 2007 move to Prague. The Czech republic is a rising star in the region due to its attractive location, competitive infrastructure, lower costs, stable business environment and particularly strong education system.
