Max Ribitzky, CMP’s VP of business development and Go to Market practice lead is exciting about presenting and engaging with Jamaican audience. Ribitzky hopes to “share insights on what the modern enterprise client look for in an outsourcing partner and how do progressive BPO’s add value, differentiate and win at business”.
The one-day conference, which is hosted by the Business Process Industry Association of Jamaica (BPIAJ) aims to promote the capital city of Kingston as a burgeoning outsourcing location for global services in the Caribbean.
The O2J Eastern Conference has over 100 confirmed attendees, who will leave with insights, best practices and industry trends and tools to modernise Jamaica’s fastest growing industry, according to Gloria Henry, President of the BPIAJ.
“As our Jamaican cluster expands, we increase our activities to match the evolving needs. It is in this regard that we are kick-starting 2019 with an O2J Eastern Conference. This year, our efforts will be dedicated to growing the Jamaican sector up the value chain and expanding knowledge process outsourcing. At the heart of the business are process, people and culture and so our theme has been aptly chosen to reflect just that Global Services: Transforming Processes, People and Culture,” she said.
Henry also said that companies should expect to leave the conference with ways to become more progressive BPOs, add value to its offerings, differentiate and win new business, as we continue to grow the local industry and remain a driving force worldwide.
