Planning and Launching Your GBS

Updated Full Width Box

SSOW Europe's goal remains to support leaders and practitioners at every stage of the maturity curve. In 2025, tracking progress along that curve becomes a more explicit feature of the conference, providing each of our core personas with a personalised content and event journey that can provide the best benchmarking and connect them with the right partners from within our vendor ecosystem.

For those just getting started on the journey, not only can you learn everything about developing foundational capabilities, but you will also be exposed to practical tips on how to achieve more with less.
