Professional GBS® Certification
Agenda At-A-Glance

This program is divided into 5 training areas: Foundations, 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 our discussion of the business model/operating model, understanding how to operationalize the work in GBS.

The three vertical pillars that rest on Foundations are: Service Management, Operations Management and Transformation Management.

The overarching training, 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.
