Global Business Group
Global business groups help businesses navigate the complexities of the international marketplace. They offer insight into trade agreements, investments, and intellectual property rights – creating an environment that allows global businesses to thrive.
Deep pockets and credibility let BG controlling owners conceal rewards or punishments for an official by affecting them through group firms not under that official’s purview or whose connection to the BG is unclear.

Access to Experts
GBS groups manage the many general and administrative tasks that occur on the back end of a transaction, giving business units more time to focus on product or customer-specific activities. This makes them a natural target for process-automation opportunities and innovative uses of digital technologies. GBS leaders also have a unique perspective on how the company functions, providing a valuable input to executive-leadership discussions.
GBS teams must be agile and responsive to customers. To do this, they need to be well staffed and have the right culture. In addition, employees must be able to easily switch between different areas of the business. For example, a finance employee may tire quickly of the repetitive nature of customer service work and want to shift to a more specialized role in another functional area. GBS teams should provide regular role-switching opportunities or offer “day in the life” presentations to encourage this type of transition.
The right culture will also ensure that GBS teams can deliver on their promise to improve the customer experience. This means that they must develop the capabilities required to provide end-to-end services, respond rapidly to changes in customer requirements and deliver value to the broader organization. GBS leaders should create and implement training programs to equip staff with the necessary skills to do this. They should also provide opportunities for GBS team members to collaborate with business customers to test new service initiatives in controlled experiments.
Credibility
This can also boost earnings capacity, generate synergies and heighten the overall strength of the group. This will allow the GBU to grow and provide even more valuable services for the business. This will also help the business to become more resilient to the ever changing global business environment.
