Conference Day 1: Wednesday 22nd October

12:30 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: THE FUTURE OF GBS LOCATIONS - NEARSHORING VS. OFFSHORING VS. HYBRID MODELS

With rising costs, talent shortages, and geopolitical uncertainty, GBS leaders are rethinking where and how they deliver services. While offshoring has long been the go-to for cost savings, nearshoring, hybrid models, and managed services are gaining traction as businesses seek greater flexibility and resilience. The challenge? Finding the right mix to keep costs down without sacrificing service quality. This session explores how to future-proof your GBS location strategy and stay ahead of the curve.

  • Keep costs under control by weighing up the true cost of different location models
  • Build resilience by spreading operations across multiple regions to reduce risk
  • Tap into top talent by choosing nearshore hubs with strong digital expertise
  • Boost agility by combining onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams for maximum flexibility
