As the global business environment rapidly evolves, the strategic importance of location in Shared Services and Global Business Services (GBS) models is becoming more pronounced. No longer just a back-office consideration, location plays a pivotal role in shaping business resilience, cost efficiency, and long-term growth. In this webinar, we will explore how leading organizations are reevaluating their location strategies, using SSON Research & Analytics' survey data to uncover how risk, global expansion, and local market dynamics intersect.
