FAQ

Curious about something?

Answers to the questions we hear most from GCC leaders getting started.

A GCC is an offshore or captive center a company builds to run functions like technology, finance, analytics, or shared services in-house at scale, rather than through a third-party vendor.

GCCs live or die on process consistency and measurable quality. Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC, SIPOC, control plans, 5S) gives new centers a repeatable way to design, launch, and audit operations from day one instead of retrofitting rigor later.

Yes. Every published post's downloadable templates (xlsx, ppt, pdf) are free to use as a starting point for your own GCC build.

Absolutely — adapt them to your governance, tooling, and controls. They're meant as accelerators, not compliance documents.

No. This site is a free blog and template library, not a consulting engagement — everything here is meant to be self-serve.

New posts and templates are added regularly as we work through common GCC build-and-scale challenges. Check back on the blog for the latest.
