Shared Services Workshops Underway
Participant Quote: Absolutely hit on all the marks and great personal experience shared
The Trachtenberg School is partnering with the Shared Services Leadership Coalition to offer Basic and Advanced Workshops to Federal Government representatives pursuing or considering starting a shared service approach to delivering on their mission. The presenters have experience with shared services (e.g. in NASA, GSA, DoD and private firms) that are engaged in Quality Service Management Offices (QSMOs) or other mechanisms for using shared services to create efficiencies and reach agency priorities. The first session on January 23 drew 30+ learners. They include GW's Steve Redburn and Costis Toregas, along with many GW alumni. A workshop slide is above.
