The search for business value should be top of mind for all of us.

Not just because value creation is the reason we are all employed, but because our stakeholders and customers demand and expect it.

Without demonstrable value, we are all just “overhead”.

Getting results in any complex endeavour needs great value creation and stakeholder alignment.

Leaders that demonstrate sustained business value creation generate high levels of credibility with executive stakeholders and have greater “luck” in “winning hearts and minds”.

Phil Priest, Senior Vice President Global Shared Services at International Flavors & Fragrances (Yes, he was at Smith & Nephew until recently), joins me for a 30 minute virtual “Fireside Chat” to discuss the “4 Ways to Create Business Value” and win Stakeholder “Hearts & Minds”.

Under Phil’s leadership, the Smith & Nephew GBS organisation was ranked “world class” by The Hackett Group for the past 2 years, from a start of “very poor” on their first benchmark for full year 2017.

If you are a current or aspiring leader in GBS, Shared Services, Finance, Procurement, HR, Digital, CI, IT/IS (sorry if I missed anyone!), this is worth 30 minutes of your day.
