Capgemini Keynote Session

A panel discussion on the future of GBS: how to elevate the value and strategic positioning of a GBS organization in the age of Gen AI

Date: May 14, 2024
Time: 2:05–2:35pm GMT
Venue: Big Idea Stage

In the digital age, post-pandemic reality and economic headwinds, Global Business Services organizations need to revisit their target operating models to navigate disruptions effectively, drive transformation and digitalization, create end-to-end value, and enable customer-centric process flows across their organization to deliver business outcomes.

The future of GBS lies in its ability to help organizations seamlessly orchestrate an intelligent, connected ecosystem of people, processes, data, and technology – with AI, analytics, and GenAI at its heart – to drive sustainable business outcomes, enhanced value, and continuous innovation. This, in turn, enables organizations to transition to – what we call – the Connected Enterprise. By embracing intelligence and digitization, GBS ensures relevance, elevates its strategic positioning and success in an ever-evolving landscape.

Join key GBS leaders and Dorota Góral-Abram from Capgemini for this session where our panel members will exchange insights and share their own experiences, guiding your future strategic pivots towards implementing intelligent GBS.

The session explores the transformative potential of a GBS organization and its role in shaping business to drive competitive advantage and value through answering questions such as:

  • What is the GBS model of the future?
  • How can GBS support enterprise transformation?
  • What bets must GBS leaders take to become future ready?

The future of Global Business Services is insights-driven, intelligent, and fully digitized.

Capgemini Workshop Session

Elevating the role of GBS in delivering enterprise-level outcomes across your organization

Date: May 14, 2024
Time: 10:30am – 12:00pm GMT

As new technology and generative AI continues to change the way we think and do business, GBS is evolving from simply delivering process efficiencies to being an experimental, ideating function that drives actionable insights, enhanced business outcomes, and continuous innovation.
This session shares experiences and key success factors on the role GBS can take in committing to and delivering real enterprise-level outcomes across your organization. We will discuss how you can elevate the value GBS delivers to the wider organization, including:

  • The main enterprise-relevant outcomes GBS can take accountability for
  • How GBS can identify, target, realize, and ensure adoption of these outcomes
  • The outcomes-led frameworks and practices that can inspire GBS
  • The critical success factors and key learning points the GBS can adopt to make an outcomes-led mindset more pervasive
  • The role partners take in establishing a more focused outcomes-led approach.
