10:45 AM What’s In Your Service Catalogue? Expanding Your GBS Offering To Increase Value For Your Organization

In SSON’s 2022 State of the Industry Survey we counted nearly 40 services offered by GBS organizations. Finance processes continue to be the most supported areas, but there is growth of services in new areas that are closer to the core business of the company, such as digital, data and sales support. In this session we discuss a case where such front and middle office services were included in the GBS organization on an opt-in basis, discussing: 

  • How to qualify the services that will add the most value to the organization? 
  • How to approach the design of solutions that meet business needs?
  • How to operate for sustainability?
