According to our buddy Bill Johnson, who runs global finance Finance Shared Services for Coca-Cola Refreshments:<\/p>\n

“Launching a Shared Services organization more than a decade ago was a bit like assembling an airplane in mid-air.” <\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And to add to the experience, try on-sourcing some of these processes to an F&A BPO provider… \u00a0Bill is very involved with our conference partner, SSON, and he adds, “We ultimately prevailed thanks to knowledge sharing on the part of our fellow practitioners, many of whom with which we connected at SSON events.
