Description
There are many ways to partner with a functional service provider (FSP). This symposium will provide case studies of how several of these models have worked and how the appropriate model was selected, as well as discuss performance metrics/key performance indicators (KPIs) and governance and infrastructure of the various models. Pricing strategies including unit costing, cost savings and risk sharing, will also be explored.

Learning Objectives:
