Professional GBS® Certification

2025 India Cohort Open for Registration

A Blended Format of Self-Paced Instruction + One Consecutive Week of Live Instructor-Led Training
August 4-8, 2025
20 Hours of Coaching from Industry Legends Who Shaped the Most Successful GBS Organization

India is the global hub for GBS and IT, but the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving. While demand for transactional roles is declining, transformational leadership is in high demand - creating both opportunity and risk for professionals.

GCCs are struggling to upskill GBS leaders quickly. Existing training focuses on operations and functional expertise, but leadership development has been lacking - until now.

SSON and Inixia have partnered to launch the Professional GBS Master Certification in India, offering coaching from GBS pioneers like Filippo Passerini and Tony Saldanha.

This rigorous program equips professionals with cutting-edge GBS methodologies and leadership capabilities - preparing them to drive value and digital transformation in 2025 and beyond.

Now’s your chance to become a certified GBS Master.

Professional GBS® Master Certification
Agenda At-A-Glance

This program includes five core areas of training: Foundation, Service Management, Operations Management, Transformation Management and Leadership.

The Foundations course is based on a common set of terminologies. Having a shared language is important for any discussion around the business model/operating model and understanding how to operationalize work through GBS.

The three pillars modules that build on that foundation are: Service Management, Operations Management, and Transformation Management.

The overarching module, Leadership, incorporates the skills and knowledge needed to truly liaise with the business. Leadership includes how to articulate the value proposition, constantly discover new opportunities for the business, reinvent the business model, automate, and, importantly, build key capabilities for the business.

Why is Professional GBS® Certification So Important?

GBS is now a key driver of digital transformation and business efficiency, with the industry expected to reach USD 2.5 trillion by 2025. Yet, many GBS efforts still fail due to poor understanding, inconsistent execution, and lack of standardization.

Professional GBS® Certification solves this by teaching the proven model pioneered by Fortune 20 companies like Procter & Gamble. The course covers five core areas: GBS Foundations, Service Management, Operations, Transformation, and Leadership—delivered 100% online.

Get certified and ensure your GBS strategy succeeds.
