Global Process Owner, Procurement Excellence Konecranes

Conference Day 1: Wednesday 22nd October

11:00 AM LIVE DEBATE: CAN A GPO BE TRULY END-TO-END IF THEY’RE SAT WITHIN GBS?

As businesses push for seamless, end-to-end process ownership, the role of Global Process Owners (GPOs) remains under scrutiny. The challenge is that many GPOs sit within GBS, limiting their authority across business functions. Without direct influence over enterprise-wide processes, how can they truly drive transformation? This live debate will explore the barriers—siloed decision-making, misaligned incentives, and resistance from business units—and offer practical solutions to embed GPOs effectively.

·       Drive true process ownership by aligning GPOs with enterprise-wide objectives, not just GBS KPIs

·       Break down silos by establishing models that connect GPOs with business stakeholders

·       Gain executive buy-in by demonstrating how end-to-end ownership improves efficiency and outcomes

·       Enhance cross-functional collaboration by embedding GPOs into business decision-making forums
