GBS transformations promise efficiency and savings, but how do we successfully manage the most critical component: the people experiencing and driving the change?

This session confronts the often-uncomfortable truths of GBS transformations, diving deep into the critical human capital considerations that can truly make or break your organisation. We'll explore strategies for ensuring effective communication and engagement with all stakeholders across diverse international contexts as well as approaches for retaining critical talent. We will discuss how you can navigate consultation across multiple countries without grinding your project to a halt. We will show how you can promote a positive transition experience for employees, and keep teams motivated even as roles evolve or new structures emerge. And crucially, how do you cultivate a high-performing GBS team that genuinely understands the cultural nuances, local regulations, and diverse needs of the global entities it serves?

Join Stijn Demeestere (Deloitte Legal Partner) and Annelies Verbruggen (Deloitte Human Capital Partner) as they draw upon extensive, hands-on experience in GBS implementations across Europe. They will share real-world strategies, robust frameworks, and invaluable lessons from the front lines of large-scale transitions. This isn't about theoretical models; it's about providing actionable insights to safeguard your most valuable asset – your people.
