PROFESSIONAL GBS
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Provided by Inixia in Partnership with SSON
Why is Professional GBS Certification So Important?
Global Business Services (GBS) is one of the hottest areas of corporate development in driving optimized performance across business support services. GBS is also the primary vehicle for driving digital transformation. According to SSON's 2020 survey, 60% of shared services around the world already operate as GBS and another 18% plan to move to the model within five years. And yet, GBS as a practice lacks the standardization and broadly acknowledged certification that such an influential operation would be expected to have.
With the GBS industry poised to hit $111bn by 2025, the fact that we still see so many 'failures' is simply unacceptable. Most of these are due to a faulty approach, framework and implementation. That is why today, more than ever, a trusted and proven methodology is key.

1. Professional GBS™ Certification
Professional GBS™ is a training module that teaches critical Global Business Services (GBS) skills. With the term ‘GBS’ often approached incorrectly, this has led to too many sub-par executions. There is a right way to execute GBS, as witnessed by the incredible success of the model in many of the Fortune 20 companies, including Procter & Gamble, where the term was first invented in the early 2000s.
That model has now been encapsulated into five areas: GBS Foundation, Service Management, Operations Management, Transformation Management, Leadership.
This is your opportunity to become certified in GBS, entirely online!
*Program available for practitioners only*
2. GBS Applied Knowledge Series Training Bundle
Most of the challenge in Global Business Services is applying its concepts to your unique situation. We all know that driving scale and productivity via shared services (whether within the GBS or CIO framework) is a proven success model. We know that climbing up the value ladder from cost savings to creating new business value is the way to go. The challenge is always in this "how". That is where the "GBS Applied Series" comes in.
This training bundle delivers live, instructor-led use cases that gets to the "how" and delivers answers to specific questions, not on the concepts and theories of GBS.
Participants may customize their bundle, choosing 6 out of 10 use cases, designed to answer your critical business questions.
The use case short courses are delivered entirely online.

Professional GBS™Certification
Agenda At-A-Glance
This program is divided into 5 major components:
Foundation, Service Management, Operations Management, Transformation Management and Leadership.
The foundation course is based on a common set of terminologies. Having a shared language is important for our discussion of the business model/operating model, understanding how to operationalize the work in GBS.
The three vertical pillars that rest on that foundation are: Service Management, Operations Management and Transformation Management.
The overarching theme, 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 a business model, automate and, importantly, build key capabilities for the business.
The Professional GBS Certification program is 51 hours.
Applied Knowledge Series
Agenda At-A-Glance
We know that climbing up the value ladder from cost savings to creating new business value is the way to go. The challenge is always in this "how".
The Applied Knowledge Series Training Bundle is focused on a series of specific questions, not on the concepts and theories of GBS.
This training bundle allows you to choose 6 out of 10 critical use case scenarios and get the answers you need, delivered live by industry experts.
A sample of the use case scenarios include:
- How to determine which services should move to GBS vs. staying in the business?
- What is the best strategy to transition work from the business into GBS?
- How to fund GBS continuous improvement & innovation initiatives?
- How to determine an optimal GBS resourcing strategy: insourced vs. outsourced?
- What is the "future generation GBS"?
