Driving Value in Business Services with KAIZEN™
The value proposition of the Business Services Centres was initially focused on cost synergies and resource centralisation. In recent years, these services have been transformed to become more and more relevant to the business units, through learning and implementation of a partnership mindset. This need to improve quality, cost and service level is common to areas such as IT, Human Resources, Legal, and Finance, among others.
This is the outlook of challenges that the coming years will bring to this sector: ensure the most talented people deliver the best, fastest, most efficient solutions, perfectly adapted to the needs of the business units.
