Innovation is no longer a buzz word. Technological disruptions have made it more important than ever for organizations to be future-ready by building a culture of innovation. To accelerate their journeys and complement their efforts to build truly disruptive innovative capabilities, leading enterprises are leveraging their Global Business Services (GBS) centers / Shared Services Centers (SSCs) / Global In-house Centers (GICs) / Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
