Today
Six out of 10 organizations with mature operational service frameworks are headed down the GBS path. External expenditure on GBS is growing at 15 percent year-on-year through 2017, with $40 billion this year. Analytics, talent management, governance and wide-ranging process management will provide the value-differentiator
for GBS organizations, but limited experience in these areas slows progress. Labor arbitrage has lost its shine among executives, and back-office centralization is table stakes—GBS is the dessert. Matrixed GBS organizational models fundamentally change the structure of organizations as GBS units evolve from
support to business units. The movement toward business-oriented GBS models must be led by the C-suite. Industry dynamics, varied regional growth patterns, and often weak global economic markets fuel the greatest incentives
to make operating model changes.

With no one at the wheel globally, companies are unlikely to realize anywhere near the full value that Global Business Services transformation can bring.

Advisors: Typical client organization GBS maturity
Source: KPMG Quarterly Global GBS Pulse Survey 3Q14
The typical GBS organization is still very immature on the KPMG maturity scale.
There are many impediments to driving increased levels of GBS maturity, including:
– Enabling end-to-end process ownership
– Evolving the GBS focus from a concentration on cost savings to providing more strategic business value
– Enabling an integrated IT model, systems & applications to support GBS operations
Fragmented, revolving door and under-powered GBS leadership is a common root cause for GBS problems and difficulties driving maturity. Despite proven results from organizations that have built a strong GBS foundation, many organizations still expect to see results before they are willing to invest in building their own GBS foundation.
Bottom line:

The position and scope of the typical GBS executive
Most GBS organizations are still organized and managed by function or geography.
In very few organizations does this functional or geographic leadership roll-up into a single global GBS executive.
The majority of organizations have no tangible plans to create a CXO-level GBS executive role.
Very few organizations have plans to elevate the GBS executive to a level where the role reports into the CEO; most GBS executives will continue to report into a functional lead or the CFO.
The fragmented nature of GBS operational and executive leadership and its relatively diminished stature compared to CXO level roles will continue to hamper organizations efforts to drive to high levels of GBS maturity, though it will create opportunities for organizations that take a contrarian position in defining a higher level and more influential role for the GBS executive.
“As globally managed GBS organizations grow more common, the fragmented nature of GBS
operational and executive leadership and its relatively diminished stature compared to CXO
level roles will continue to impede efforts to drive to high levels of GBS maturity. GBS leadership is
needed to set the vision for the organization and to get buy-in and alignment across the functions.”

Bringing GBS services into one organization, with a single executive-level leader, helps maximize efficiency and effectiveness and drive greater business value. Most global GBS organizations are still organized and managed by function or geography, thus resulting in fragmented approach that impedes achieving desired results. The 3 year trend, however, is a promising sign that change is coming.

Where GBS leadership reports
Due to the cross functional nature of GBS, there are inconsistent views in regards to where GBS should report. While there are growing efforts to move away from separate functional reporting, developing an executive position for the GBS lead would solve both the inconsistent reporting and overburdening of the current demanding CXO roles.

For most organizations the establishment and expansion of GBS operations has been a fragmented and bottom-up process by function and geography. Global leadership has been afterthought or an unachievable goal to achieve for both practical and political reasons. While not all organizations depending on the scope or maturity need a single global lead, organizations that hold to maximize GBS capabilities and maturity need to establish this role .

Removing GBS from the backroom
A successful GBS organization must operate as a business within a business, becoming a provider of choice to the organization and not a provider by default.
For the GBS organization to achieve the maximum results and overcome impediments and challenges in an effective and efficient manner, the function must be run on the same basis as a economically sound and customer focused service business.
To achieve this structure and desired culture, the GBS executive has to be an individual who has experience running a business to understand that success is more than just cutting costs.
GBS organizations’ goals and benefits sought, as well as operating model, must be tied to those of the business as a whole.

Biggest challenges facing GBS executives
Source: KPMG Quarterly Global GBS Pulse Survey 3Q14
Successfully addressing these challenges will enable a customer service culture within the GBS organization. The top challenges, however, will prove highly difficult to overcome without a central lead who is integrated with the executive level, which is ranked 8th on the key issues, yet non-existent in most organizations. A strong culture requires a strong leader.

Gaining meaningful corporate executive level support to adopt and/or expand GBS efforts

A lead GBS executive can help drive through a well-managed GBS organization, measurable value above and beyond cost reduction:
A GBS lead with strong ties into the executive committee can drive a centralized approach to achieving these business goals. Where as the current fragmented approach of many organizations requires more effort to attain less results.

Driving more value with GBS
Organizations that have taken the initiative to develop a centralized GBS organization coupled with a GBS executive who is closely aligned with the rest of the C-suite have achieved success such as:
A clear and holistic vision that is supported by the organization to ensure the initiatives of the GBS organization are aligned with the organization’s overall business goals.
Spotting opportunities or problems that would have been missed by functions/units operating in isolation.
Reducing overlaps and inefficiencies throughout the organization.
Identifying impacts of business decisions of one function on other parts of the organization through centralized data & analytics.
Changes to procurement strategies to address customs and sales tax implications.
Developed consistent standards across functions and geographies to reduce risk of regulatory compliance failure.
Enhancing the culture of the organization aiding both to requirement and retention of talent.

Summary
GBS organizations must focus more on driving measurable business value above and beyond cost savings:
– Driving increased business value should be a prime goal of GBS
maturity improvement efforts.
Developing an established and senior/CXO GBS executive role is critical to maximizing the GBS organization’s potential in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and driving measureable business value.
A centralized approach is the only structure for the GBS organization that will enable it to efficiently and effectively overcome the common GBS challenges and impediments.
The market is in the early stages of the development and spread of the GBS executive role creating opportunities for first movers, but key steps need to be taken:
– Need to define the GBS role specifically to your organizations
strategic goals
– Need to socialize the role and receive buy in from the CXO level
and all functions
– Need to structure the GBS executive position so that it is
attractive to a small potential candidate pool.
Provide autonomy to build the function as a business within a business
GBS executive should reside within C-suite.
“Despite these challenges, organizations that move early to define a higher level and more influential role for the GBS executive stand to drive value of
their GBS organization to new heights and win long-term competitive advantage.”
