🧠 Collaborator Connect - Understanding Gen AI: The Next Wave of Shared Services Transformation Our next Virtual Collaborator Connect takes place next Tuesday April 28th at and we are delighted to be joined by The Hackett Group Inc. for an essential session on Generative AI and the future of Shared Services. Gen AI is fast moving from experimentation to real, practical impact and many of us are asking the big questions: ➡️ What exactly is Gen AI? ➡️ How does it differ from the AI we already use? ➡️ What does it mean for roles, skills and talent in Shared Services and GBS? 💡 This session will explore: ✅ The real impact of Gen AI on operating models ✅ How roles and skills will evolve ✅ What this means for workforce planning and future talent strategies ✅ The changing talent profile of a digitally enabled Shared Service function If you’re thinking about how Gen AI will influence your people, capabilities and operating model, this session is a must‑attend. 👉 There is still time to secure your place, visit the SSF UK website to register and we look forward to seeing you online next week!! #GenAI #Automation #Talent #SharedServices #Skills #Capabilities

🌿 Wednesday Wellbeing | Stress Awareness Month 🌿 Stress doesn’t always show up loudly. Sometimes it looks like constant busyness, skipping breaks, or feeling like you need to be “on” all the time. This Stress Awareness Month, today’s reminder is simple: 👉 Notice your early warning signs. What tells you that stress is building? Is it tiredness, impatience, distraction, or tension? Awareness is often the first and most important step towards managing stress more effectively. When you notice it early, you give yourself options. Pause. Reset. Adjust, even in small ways. #WednesdayWellbeing #StressAwarenessMonth #WellbeingAtWork #PauseAndReflect
