Who We Are and What We Stand For  

The Shared Services Leadership Coalition (SSLC) is a non partisan, non profit organization committed to accelerating the federal government’s efficiency and effectiveness through the consolidation of common services and functions through the adoption of shared services business models.

SSLC envisions a modern, competitive, and outcomes focused shared services ecosystem where government and industry work together to deliver high performing, continuously modernized services that strengthen government mission delivery.

Core Mission

SSLC works to advance a federal environment where shared services are the default model for delivering mission-support and mission-delivery functions that are common across agencies. SSLC promotes policies, governance structures, and marketplace conditions that enable shared services to deliver measurable improvements in performance, cost, and customer experience.

Guiding Principles

SSLC works to advance a federal environment where shared services are the default model for delivering mission-support and mission-delivery functions that are common across agencies. SSLC promotes policies, governance structures, and marketplace conditions that enable shared services to deliver measurable improvements in performance, cost, and customer experience.

1. The default delivery model for common functions used by multiple agencies. 
2. Defined using clear, accurate facts about current capabilities and intended outcomes, and designed to consistent government-defined performance and data standards, regulations, policies and best practices.
3. Managed to achieve and track efficiency gains, improved effectiveness and enhanced customer experience. 
4. Inclusive of a competitive marketplace open to both government and industry service providers.
5. Driven by a transformation vision and roadmap to realize full operational capability, defined policy and investment strategies, and strong support from Congress and the Executive Branch.
6. Incentivized to leverage industry solutions consistent with government “commercial first” policies to enable continuous modernization and industry-leading performance levels.   

Shared Services Benefits:

1. 25% to 40% savings over current state when fully operational.
2. More efficient and secure use of resources. Dramatically reduced duplication.
3. Improved services to taxpayers and federal employees. Standardized policy, process, and data.
4. Better decision-making enabled by enhanced government-wide data and analytics.
5. Repurposing of savings for under-resourced mission needs and/or deficit/debt reduction.

We achieve our core mission by:

• Bringing together government and industry leaders to engage in dialog and develop innovative solutions for consideration.
• Working with Congress and the Administration to define and propose innovative policies and solutions to improve government efficiency and effectiveness.
• Conducting data-driven research that provides critical performance and outcome benchmarks for government shared services.
• Bringing together government and industry leaders to engage in dialog and develop innovative solutions for consideration.

Our proposed legislation, the Common Services Consolidation Act, includes:

1. Mandatory use of a consolidated model.
2. Implementation of a strong governance approach.
3. Design of effective operating and business models.
4. Successful transformation to more efficient and effective ways of serving the American people and federal employees.
