Why Location Strategy Is Central to GBS Success: Participants will examine why the question of where work is sourced and performed is not a one-time decision but an ongoing strategic responsibility. The session establishes location strategy as a foundational driver of GBS performance and a lever that must be actively managed alongside the broader organizational agenda.
-
A Shifting Landscape: Changing Expectations and Emerging Challenges: GBS organizations are asked to do more over time, moving from cost reduction to process transformation to innovation. Simultaneously, the external environment introduces new pressures including tariffs, pandemics, and rapidly evolving technology. This session explores how those shifts affect the skills and talent a GBS requires, and why location strategy must be reviewed and refreshed in response.
-
Proven Frameworks for Talent Access and Risk Management: Participants will gain structured approaches for ensuring their organization has the right skills and talent, at the right cost, in the right volume, and at an acceptable risk profile. The session includes practical guidance on financial modeling and how to build and present a location strategy recommendation that stands up to executive scrutiny.

Who This Course Is For: This course is designed for GBS leadership team members, strategy and transformation leaders, and operational managers who are responsible for talent access or who need to evaluate how and where their organization’s work is best performed.
