“In a world that is rapidly changing, where everyday globally people are learning new and better ways of delivering processes and technology being part of the SSON online network is of tremendous value to share and learn from each other. More importantly being part of thought leadership forums, G8, interviews etc allows companies like Genpact who participate to lead the industry forward. We value the opportunity to share our vision and journey and learn from those of others and the SSON and we should all explore newer ways of leveraging this for the common good of the industry and the practice.”
