Global Center Setup
We assist technology organizations to set up, program manage and/or transition global centers capable of driving product ownership and innovation.
Setting up a new global center or transitioning product / service portfolios to global locations can seem daunting – navigating local regulations, understanding taxes & transfer pricing and hiring the right senior leadership – can all consume tremendous bandwidth. We leverage our proprietary frameworks on business model suitability, portfolio planning and talent strategy to establish and execute global centers capable of driving the innovation charter and product ownership roadmap, right from their inception.
We enable organizations to –- a) set up their own centers of excellence in an accelerated mode,
- b) program manage them end to end and transition it back seamlessly,
- c) handle change management at all global locations,
- d) find a suitable strategic partner to set up the center in a BOT model.
We work with technology organizations to make a strong business case for a global center, chart out a blueprint, identify success factors, implement and execute it end to end and set up optimal governance structure as well as outline risk mitigation plans.
- 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 GCoE 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 GCoE 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.
