Service catalogue and portfolios are vital for GBS organisations, enabling them to communicate effectively with customers using a consistent taxonomy and language. This customer-centric approach enhances the perceived value of GBS offerings and improves customer experience. However, many GBS organizations face challenges due to poorly defined and inconsistently structured service catalogues that prioritize internal terminology over customer understanding. Whilst some GBS invest in creating these resources, they often neglect ongoing maintenance.
• The necessity of a well-defined service catalogue - serving as GBS's customer-facing "menu" - and a strategic service portfolio for effective service management
• Explore strategies for developing these resources and transitioning from reactive to proactive service delivery.
• By leveraging AI, GBS can better anticipate business needs, drive innovation and facilitate growth. Join us to discover how to create a more dynamic and responsive GBS
