Services: A Manager''s Journey, Dan presents the real business
cultural challenges along with human factors when taking on such a
change in a company''s processes. A must-read for any executive,
manager, or team member who is considering, decided to, or is
already in the process of converting a company from a decentralized
organization to a shared services environment." -Katherine M.
Ericsson Vice President of Membership, Project Management Institute
of South Florida and director of a project management office, in a
shared services environment within the distribution industry "A
how-tosurvival guide for those thinking about entering shared
services or beginning the journey...for the rest of us, an
entertaining look back at our journey both professionally and
personally. A great read!" -Steve K. Stone Senior Vice President
and CFO, Newspapers and Shared Services Morris Communications
Company "Over the past fifteen years, I''ve had the pleasure of
working directly with hundreds of companies who are implementing
shared services. What is striking is how very different ''real
experiences'' are from the stories spun by consultants or keynote
speakers at conferences. Getting to the ''real truth'' of how to put
the pieces together will help you keep consulting fees low and the
probability of success high. This book is a practical guide created
by someone who has been there.
