There is a different breed of GBS organisations. They might not look like traditional GBS organisations; they might not even be called GBS organisations. They are active in the non-traditional GBS spaces such as commercial, R&D, engineering or any other functions critical to the company. They don’t talk about “us” vs. “them”, instead, they have taken the time to bring business partnering to the next level and have earned the trust and the right to do more. They are strategic enablers to delivering major company goals. In this session, we bring leaders from this group to share HOW they are achieving these objectives and becoming a true transformation engine for their company:

·       GBS strategy vs the company strategy: why is this a meaningful point to discuss?

·       From the “Why” to the “How”: working hand-in-hand with the functions to move from good to great

·       Starting from small to build proof of concept and building trust along the way for scaling up

·       What does it take to build a culture that truly enables close business partnership? 

·       Why is location strategy a key component in making an impact?
