GBS Applied Knowledge Series Training Bundle
About the GBS Applied Knowledge Series Training Bundle
Most of the challenge in Global Business Services is in 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. It gets to the "how". It is focused on a series of use case scenarios, not on the concepts and theories of GBS. Through a series of live, instructor-led use cases, attendees will receive insights on the tips and tricks that seasoned, successful GBS leaders know.

The training begins Monday, February 8, 2021 and goes until Monday, April 19, 2021. The trainings are conducted on Mondays from 1-2 PM EST. The specific dates, times (EST) and topics are listed below.
