2:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: WHAT DOES END-TO-END REALLY LOOK LIKE FOR A GPO?

As businesses push for seamless, end-to-end process ownership, the role of Global Process Owners (GPOs) remains under scrutiny. But what does end-to-end really look like from a strategic perspective? This panel will discuss how to truly deliver an end-to-end strategy, aligning goals and KPIs that strive for real process efficiency and not functional success.

• 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
