Conference Day 1: Wednesday 22nd October

11:30 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: EXPANDING GLOBAL BUSINESS SERVICES FUNCTIONS FOR INNOVATIVE STRATEGIC GROWTH


As businesses navigate economic uncertainty, talent shortages, and digital disruption, GBS must evolve beyond traditional back-office functions. Many struggle with fragmented processes, limited automation, and a lack of strategic integration. To stay competitive, GBS must embrace end-to-end process ownership, data-driven decision-making, and digital transformation and expand their offering outside of the traditional GBS functions. This panel discussion explores how organisations can expand GBS into high-value areas like analytics, cybersecurity, digital marketing and customer experience—unlocking efficiency and innovation.

·       Enhance efficiency by owning end-to-end business processes

·       Boost decision-making by leveraging AI, data analytics, and automation

·       Strengthen security by embedding compliance and cybersecurity within GBS

·       Drive business value by aligning GBS with strategic growth initiatives
