About This Webinar

Join us for an immersive exploration of the evolving landscape of Shared Services and Global Business Services (GBS) within Western Europe (countries like Portugal & Spain) versus Central and Eastern Europe (countries like Poland & Hungary). In this session, we'll shine a spotlight on the dynamic interplay between risk, growth objectives, and the strategic expansion of GBS and shared services locations.

As the business environment continues to shift, the significance of location within the SSO/GBS model cannot be overstated. It's a critical factor that influences cost, quality, and risk, while also providing access to essential skill sets.

Our webinar will dissect this evolution, drawing on survey data to dissect the intricate relationship between these factors and strategic expansion. From understanding optimal service delivery locations to examining motivations behind shifts in global footprints, we'll equip you with the insights needed to navigate this ever-changing landscape.
