DRIVING END-TO-END TRANSFORMATION THROUGH GBS
Tuula Tuononen
Global Process Owner, Procurement Excellence Konecranes
Pre-Conference Workshops & GPO Leaders Programme: Tuesday 20th October
4:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: REDEFINING THE GPO ROLE IN GBS TRANSFORMATION
As enterprises race to transform through GBS, the GPO role has emerged as a critical, yet often undefined, lever of value. New GPOs are expected to cut costs, simplify complexity, and deliver measurable impact without clear mandates or structures. This panel examines how GPOs move beyond transactional oversight to become enterprise change leaders, unlocking end-to-end ownership, stakeholder alignment, and P&L value through capability building, analytics, and continuous transformation.
• Clarify the GPO mandate by intentionally defining scope, authority, and success measures
• Strengthen end-to-end ownership by anchoring the GPO role in both delivery and change
• Shift value creation toward measurable P&L impact through disciplined “value hunting”
• Build influence across teams and leadership using operational credibility and data storytelling
