Shared Services and GBS

Shared services and GBS organisations run the same process in every business unit, region or client they serve, and meeting an SLA is a starting point for understanding outcomes. IGX360 Insights gives shared services leaders a standardised, evidenced view of process performance across the whole estate, so improvement and automation decisions rest on evidence.

16 ways to get ahead in Shared Services and GBS

Establish how the work runs today

  • Process discovery
  • Current-state mapping
  • Operating baseline

In your words: “We do not know how work really happens”

A governed, connected view of how work runs gives every team the same starting point. It replaces individual descriptions with one baseline that can be queried, owned and kept current.

See who owns a process, what it depends on and what a change will affect

  • Process architecture
  • Operating model visibility
  • Change impact analysis

In your words: “We cannot quickly see who owns a process, what it depends on or what a change will affect”

When processes, roles, systems, risks and controls sit in one connected model, basic questions take minutes instead of analyst-days. Ownership, dependencies and impact can be seen together.

Bring your documented process and daily work together

  • Design-reality gap
  • Process validation
  • Execution alignment

In your words: “Our documented process is not how the work actually gets done”

When the process model and daily execution are connected, the model stays useful and governance reflects real work. Approved workarounds become part of the design.

Prove what to improve first

  • Improvement prioritisation
  • Process baselining
  • Evidence-based improvement

In your words: “We have dozens of improvement opportunities but no evidence for what to fix first”

Comparable evidence turns a long list of ideas into a ranked plan. Teams can set a baseline, agree what matters and show the value of each change.

Turn AI pilots into operating value

  • AI pilot-to-value
  • Operating model redesign
  • AI adoption

In your words: “Our AI pilots work, but they are not changing how the business operates”

Pilots deliver more when the work around them is redesigned. Defining purpose, authority, constraints, evidence, escalation and how to step back gives human, agentic and hybrid actors a clear operating model.

Turn execution evidence into learning

  • Learning from execution
  • Execution evidence
  • Governed learning

In your words: “Our systems tell us what happened, but not why the process failed or what to change”

When execution evidence is retained and connected, the organisation can see not just what happened but why, and what to change.

Make governance shape what people do

  • Governance execution
  • Policy-to-practice
  • Control observability

In your words: “Our governance says what should happen, but does not reliably control what people actually do”

Governance that changes tasks, decision thresholds, approvals, escalation and evidence capture is governance you can rely on in operation.

Explain and improve the outcomes behind green SLAs

  • SLA-to-outcome traceability
  • Customer experience measurement
  • End-to-end performance

In your words: “We meet the SLA but still cannot explain poor outcomes or customer experience”

Connecting service measures to the end-to-end process explains delay, rework and the customer's real outcome, not just whether a threshold was met.
