Future Ready Shared Services: From Transactional Hubs to Strategic Powerhouses

Join us for Cedar’s Exclusive Business Breakfast Event!

Cedar is hosting an exclusive business breakfast on Thursday 23rd October 2025 at 8:00am, taking place in The Wolseley’s private dining room.

This session will bring together senior transformation and finance leaders to explore how Shared Service Centres (SSCs) are shifting from traditional cost-saving models to becoming strategic drivers of innovation, analytics, and enterprise-wide decision making.

We’re delighted to welcome Anup Juneja, a senior transformation leader with over 22 years’ experience delivering AI-enabled change and large-scale digital transformation.

A former Expert Associate Partner at Bain and Senior Manager at KPMG UK, Anup has led programmes scaling AI and automation across financial services, private equity, and global corporates. With deep expertise in AI strategy, operating model redesign, and post-deal value creation, he is ideally placed to discuss the future of SSCs.

Key themes for discussion:

• The Strategic Evolution of SSCs

How leading organisations are repositioning their SSCs from back-office functions to high-impact drivers of innovation, insight, and business strategy.

• Location Strategy 2025: Optimising Your Global Footprint

In a landscape shaped by automation, talent shortages, and geopolitical risk, we’ll explore how businesses are rethinking SSC location models to optimise cost, access, and resilience.

• AI & Automation: Threat or Opportunity?

From RPA to generative AI, we’ll examine the real ROI of automation and what it means for your SSC workforce, roles, and reskilling strategy.

Spaces are limited and are allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
