Learn from the practitioners who wrote

Is one of these true for you?

These are some of the problems we have been asked to solve.

  • We’re asked to transform, but nobody taught us how.
  • Leadership wants global standards. Every market wants its exceptions.
  • Silos keep breaking our end-to-end processes.
  • We’re under pressure to use AI, but the activity isn’t leading to business value.
  • Several processes need to change. We want to lead it, not wait for the top.
  • Lots could improve, but we can’t tell what to prioritize.
  • The business sees us as a cost center, not a partner.
  • Our courses felt theoretical. We need something concrete we can apply.

In their own words

“The Professional GBS® Certification Program is a priceless training program for both seasoned and novice shared services leaders. The program equipped me with the knowledge, network, and practical tactics I needed to create a strategy for my HR Shared Services team and provide value to my clients.”

Bryan M Hauhe
Sr Manager, HR Services, DLA Piper

“Attending the GBS Certification Program has been both an eye-opener and a validation on what we are doing currently. Tony has a knack of explaining things with interesting examples, and correlating with real life scenarios. I have definitely taken a couple of to-dos for me from this program, and am looking forward to implement them in my SSC.”
