Optimise your Global Business Services

From strategy to realisation: create a future-ready GBS model

How do you ensure your Global Business Services (GBS) model not only reduces costs but also adds strategic value? The challenge for many leaders is moving beyond centralising individual functions to building a global, integrated service model that optimally supports the entire business.

We help you achieve these results, tailored to your organisation’s priorities: from operational efficiency and cost reduction to empowering your front-office and accelerating growth.

Build a GBS model that works for you

An effective Global Business Services (GBS) model is more than a back office; it's a strategic partner that enables and strengthens your entire organisation.

Our Deloitte team combines deep functional knowledge with end-to-end expertise to move your vision from strategy to realisation. We provide hands-on support to build and optimise your global centres, ensuring the right balance between cost-efficiency and value creation. Because there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, we tailor the operating model (whether it's captive, outsourced, or hybrid) to your specific needs.

Unlike firms with a primary ‘operate’ focus, our independence as your advisor ensures we partner with you to make the best, most objective choices for your organisation.

Let’s shape the future of your service organisation together, with a GBS model that is agile, scalable, and ready for what’s next.
