Positioning Global Business Services as the most powerful asset to the enterprise

These days, if you want to progress your career in finance or HR, be the person driving digital transformation or help your organization go global, then shared services is undoubtedly the place to be.

We’ll also be looking for the first time at how GBS can become drivers in sustainability and ESG and finally how you as a shared services professional can develop your career and leadership potential.
