Message to Shared Services Community – Coronavirus Contingency Plans
In light of public health concerns and the ongoing threat of the coronavirus, SSLC and our partner organizations are either re-scheduling or making remote participation options available for upcoming shared services events. Our monthly “Shared Services Forum for Agency Implementation Leaders,” co-sponsored with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) and the Senior Executives Association (SEA), will continue as scheduled from 10am to 12 Noon on the second Thursday of each month via teleconference until further notice. Other Forums and events will also be held through remote participation for the duration of the emergency. More details about future events will be communicated when available. We hope our response will enable our important work of supporting the government’s shared services initiatives to continue with a high level of participation from our community with a minimum of disruption. Thanks to all for continued support as we pull together in service of our shared interests in improving government efficiency and effectiveness. If you have questions about particular events or other matters related to our coronavirus response, please feel free to contact us at: Info@SharedServicesNow.org
Shared Services Forum for Agency Implementation Leaders and QSMO Forums
SSLC’s latest collaboration with the National Academy of Public Administration and the Senior Executives Association is off to an exciting start. Our “Shared Services Forum for Agency Implementation Leaders” is a monthly workshop in which government executives who are leading shared services initiatives in their agencies bring their toughest challenges to the table for real-time collaborative problem-solving with their counterparts in other agencies and SSLC, NAPA and SEA leaders. The “pre-designated” Quality Service Management Office (QSMO) leaders representing Financial Management, Human Resources, Grants and Cyber Security are also participating in the Forum. Over 50 government executives representing over 20 agencies are participating, and the agencies who have presented their challenges as cases studies have all received high value, practical feedback and are experiencing encouraging early results. The sponsors believe the Forum represents a breakthrough in effective problem-solving that can become a model for other modernization efforts.
SSLC, NAPA and SEA are planning to offer additional Forums to assist the QSMOs in conducting market research to identify customer needs and market capabilities to serve the emerging shared services marketplace during the current year.
Forums are open to all interested government executives and industry shared services solution providers. Dates of upcoming Forums are posted here: Upcoming Events. For more information about participating, please contact us at: Info@SharedServicesNow.org

Shared Services – Now!
What are Shared Services? “Shared services” is a business model for delivery of common back office administrative services, e.g., human resources (HR), financial management (FM), purchasing, etc., and common mission-support services, e.g., geospatial services, in which customer organizations receive services from experienced third party providers with high capacity platforms who can serve multiple customers more costeffectively than individual customers can serve themselves.

Why is legislation necessary? Shared services implementation has been underway in the Federal Government for decades with support from Presidential Administrations of both parties. Progress has been excruciatingly slow and discontinuous across administrations. LEARN MORE>
