9:10 AM Case Study | Change as a Service: How GBS Can Operationalise AI to Deliver Enterprise Value

 As Global Business Services (GBS) evolve from cost efficiency to enterprise value creation, AI is no longer a future capability - it is a leadership imperative. This session explores "Change as a Service" as a next‑generation GBS model - one that embeds AI into core enterprise platforms and operating models, while enabling frontline teams to continuously improve processes at speed and scale. 

  • How GBS can orchestrate internal teams, technology platforms, and external partners to scale AI capabilities across the enterprise
  • Designing an influenced operating environment that enables innovation while maintaining governance, risk management, and control
  • Using AI to accelerate and enhance traditional continuous improvement approaches, compressing cycles beyond Lean and Six Sigma
  • Positioning GBS as a strategic value hub, delivering tech‑enabled, non‑traditional capabilities that drive enterprise‑wide impact
