Global Center Setup
The R&D landscape has evolved, with certain geographic locations being advantageous to lead global services delivery. In today’s business environment, building an agile, lean, and innovative organization is top of the mind for business leaders as compared to costs. Another draw for setting up a global center is the opportunity to connect with and possibly partner with disruptors and other technology players in the ecosystem, making way for co-innovation.
Zinnov has a decade and a half of experience in designing, setting up, and program managing global centers end-to-end for many an organization. From pre-design phase to defining the charter and governance of the global center, to implementing it and stabilizing it to full-fledged operations in the targeted geographic location, we help set it up in accelerated time, with lowered overhead risks and operational costs, with complete flexibility to scale continuously.
- How does globalization impact the business? What is the value that global centers can add to the HQ? Which business function should lead the globalization charter? What is the right time to expand global operations with minimal impact to customers? Which is the optimal model for globalization – BOT/Captive/other? We help our clients answer these pertinent questions and work with them to make a strong business case to justify setting up a global center in a specific geographic location.
- We assist our clients in charting out the complete GIC blueprint which includes the charter, portfolio that would be transitioned to, optimal location for setup, and the engagement model to establish and operate a highly matured center. We also identify all critical success factors and define a comprehensive implementation plan to set up the center.
- We help set up the GIC end-to-end to operate at high maturity and optimized cost.
- We define the governance model for the newly set up center till it stabilizes and scales. We also conduct periodical reviews to monitor progress, identify risks, and define mitigation plans.
