Pre-Conference Workshops, Focus Stages & Main Conference Day One: May 20th, 2025

8:00 AM Workshop A5 GLOBAL PROCESS OWNERSHIP - DELIVERING ENHANCED VALUE WITH THE “END-TO-END” PROCESS EXPERIENCE

“End to End” & “Process Excellence” are on every leadership agenda. GBS and Shared Services deliver services that support functional elements of “end to end” business processes, but rarely, if ever, “own” these true “end to end” cycles. Despite the ambiguity, there are high expectations, aspirations and value in a well-executed “end to end process” and “Global Process Owner” (GPO) approach. 

Sharing best practices with interactive discussions and exercises, this session will explore some of the opportunities and challenges in enabling “end to end” process excellence and introduce tools and tactics for the GPO and other stakeholders (both “enabling” and “beneficial”) to drive successful outcomes.

The workshop will cover:

  • What problem are we trying to Solve?
  • End to End Processes & the GPO
  • Aspirations & Challenges
  • Strategies for Success 
  • Influence vs Control
  • “Outside-In”
  • Business Value
  • “Think like a CFO”
  • Stakeholder Engagement
  • The Art of Execution
  • Critical Capabilities
