The role of Global Business Services (GBS) and Global Capability Centers (GCC) are undergoing a significant transition. By 2030, GBS will evolve from a support function into the operating system of the enterprise. Our GBS 2030 framework guides this evolution, shifting the GBS mission from delivering operational efficiencies to orchestrating value across the entire enterprise.
GBS has historically been anchored in running operations: paying invoices, onboarding, purchase orders, and constant data reconciliation. With AI and a growing “digital workforce,” there’s an opportunity to reduce routine manual work and release capacity, so GBS can focus more on transforming the enterprise, not just keeping it running.
