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.
