Adaptive Solutions & Advisory Group is proud to announce that we will once again be a Silver Sponsor of SSOW Autumn 2026, taking place on 20–22 October 2026 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
As one of the leading events dedicated to Shared Services, Global Business Services (GBS), outsourcing, and enterprise transformation, SSOW Autumn brings together senior executives from around the world to discuss the trends, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of business operations. Each year, the conference attracts hundreds of GBS, SSC, finance, HR, procurement, IT, and transformation leaders who come to exchange experiences, explore innovative solutions, and build valuable business relationships.
At Adaptive, we have been actively participating in SSOW events for many years, both as attendees and sponsors. These conferences have become an important part of our annual calendar, offering an excellent opportunity to connect with industry leaders, share expertise, and stay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving GBS landscape. Following another successful presence at SSOW Europe 2026 in Lisbon, we are excited to continue the journey in Amsterdam as a Silver Sponsor.
Reinventing GBS for the Next Era
This year’s conference focuses on one of the most significant challenges facing organisations today: how Global Business Services can evolve beyond traditional cost-saving models to become true strategic business partners delivering measurable enterprise value.
Under this year’s theme, SSOW Autumn 2026 will explore how organisations can leverage end-to-end transformation, digital capabilities, and AI to build agile, resilient, and future-ready operating models. The agenda has been redesigned to provide practical insights, peer-to-peer learning, and real-world case studies that address today’s business challenges.
Among the highlights of the programme are:
- People & Culture Clinic – an interactive forum where senior leaders can openly discuss talent, leadership, and organisational culture challenges with their peers.
- End-to-End Operating Models – keynote sessions showcasing successful examples of agile and resilient operating model transformations.
- Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation – inspiring case studies demonstrating how Agentic AI is enabling true end-to-end business transformation.
- Next Generation ERP & Data – practical success stories emphasising the importance of strong data foundations before implementing AI at scale.
- Managing Change & Transformation – sessions dedicated to leadership, stakeholder engagement, and change management in complex organisations.
- Innovation Zone – Pavilion Stage – a showcase of the latest AI, automation, and digital technologies delivering measurable business outcomes.
- R2R Leaders Programme – a dedicated stream designed specifically for Record-to-Report professionals looking to exchange best practices and industry insights.
Meet Adaptive in Amsterdam
Throughout the event, the Adaptive team will be available to discuss the challenges organisations face on their transformation journeys—from building future-ready GBS operating models and accelerating AI adoption to developing practical transformation strategies that deliver lasting business value.
