"In Shared 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-to/survival 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. It is
the truth!"
-Mike Hostetler Managing Director, Shared Services Roundtable
