Global capability centers (GCCs) have evolved from supporting standardization and efficient delivery of corporate operations to becoming centers of excellence that provide significantly enhanced value to enterprises. They provide access to top talent, build differentiating business capabilities, and drive transformation, innovation, scalability and business growth.
However, the rising challenges of war for talent, the emergence of remote work as the new norm, and the rising expense of popular GCC locations present a complex set of dynamics for companies seeking to establish a GCC. For established centers striving for enhanced outcomes, the rapidly evolving landscape of advanced digital technologies, including AI and intelligent automation, has created an urgent need to reimagine GCC operating models, dimensions and even the entire sourcing strategy.
Modern GCCs must consider:
- How can organizations effectively access, develop and leverage the necessary talent at scale?
- What is the optimal GCC operating model for our organization: should we insource, outsource or co-source?
- Which locations are most suitable for our needs; should we focus on onshore, nearshore or offshore options?
- How can we harness the power of AI to drive transformative impact?
