This PPT slide, part of the 33-slide Cost Reduction Methodologies PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for developing Shared Services, emphasizing three distinct horizons: Executive Alignment, Validation & Buy-In, and Detail Design & Implementation. Each horizon represents a different level of detail and engagement with leadership and stakeholders, crucial for establishing key decisions and parameters.
The first horizon, Executive Alignment, involves high-level evaluations by key executive finance leaders. This phase focuses on aligning strategic objectives with potential solutions and implementation options. It results in critical decisions and parameters that guide the overall direction, including a high-level financial model and organizational alignment plans.
Next, the Validation & Buy-In horizon engages a broader team, including division and business unit stakeholders. This stage is about refining the service model and ensuring alignment across various initiatives. The emphasis here is on developing additional details that inform the business case and implementation options. Scenario selection and validation are key outcomes, ensuring that the proposed solutions are robust and aligned with organizational goals.
The final horizon, Detail Design & Implementation, is where the specifics are fleshed out. This phase involves a dedicated team that focuses on creating detailed designs and implementation plans. It is where the theoretical frameworks established in the previous horizons are translated into actionable steps.
The slide concludes with a note on the importance of decisions and parameters, highlighting their role in validating the path forward and securing stakeholder buy-in. This structured approach ensures that all levels of the organization are engaged and aligned throughout the development process, ultimately leading to more effective Shared Services implementation.
