Unlocking the Strategic Potential of Global Capability Centers During Zinnov GCC Platform CXO Forum in Bangalore this week, it was evident that while India’s GCCs excel at executing company plans, there’s an incredible opportunity for them to transition into strategizing, creating, and driving these plans. To truly influence global strategies, here’s what GCCs can do: 1. Invest in Talent Development and Upskilling: Equip teams with strategic thinking and innovation skills. 2. Enhance Communication Channels: Foster robust interactions between GCCs and headquarters. 3. Empower Local Leadership: Influence global leaders to grant more decision-making authority to local GCC leaders. 4. Focus on Innovation and R&D: Encourage research and development activities. 5. Leverage Local Market Knowledge: Utilize insights from local markets to influence global strategies. 6. Align Performance Metrics and Incentives: Recognize and reward strategic contributions. 7. Pilot Strategic Projects: Allow GCCs to lead pilot projects that can scale globally. 8. Develop Customer Centricity Programs: Create programs to understand customer needs and drive customer-centric solutions. By embracing these strategies, GCCs can transform from being excellent executors to becoming influential strategists. Let’s unlock the full potential of our GCCs and drive global growth together! If you would like to explore what programs can work for your GCC reach out to the Zinnov GCC Platform team. #Leadership #Innovation #GCC #Strategy #GlobalGrowth #CustomerCentricity #TalentDevelopment #Zinnov #Bangalore #CXOForum #Empowerment #StrategicLeadership

To achieve the Viksit Bharat goal and transform India into a $40 trillion economy by 2047, we need a new tech driven playbook focusing on... 1️⃣ Significant R&D investment and IP generation 2️⃣ Transforming our talent pool into a hub of world-class talent 3️⃣ Becoming the global gold standard for large-scale technology deployment India stands at a pivotal moment in its economic journey. A Viksit Bharat is definitely within reach, with a strategic and concerted effort across all sectors of society. Yes, this will require tremendous collaboration and a strong commitment to a shared vision. But, in a country that developed its own vaccines and immunized over a billion people within a couple of years, achieving this transformation is clearly possible. nasscom Kavita Doshi LiveMint Link to article ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gnfvVRY4

Unfortunately, my inference about the “third winter” of AI is receiving more and more elements that confirm it rather than refute it. We are being influenced by massive marketing campaigns to believe that AI brings productivity in a fluid and easy way. And that it is a technology that will help promote ESG concepts. What is presented as reality is the opposite. On the E side, we see more predatory mining to meet the demand for rare metals. A new agenda resurrecting nuclear energy (see Three Mile Island) and using natural resources as cooling water without control. On the S side, we are investing billions of dollars in a proposal to increase global productivity that would improve prosperity for all, but even Nobel laureate Acemoglu has already warned about the discrepancies in the theoretical calculation of this gain - in some discussions he speaks of ~0.5% while some investment banks and analysis houses speak of ~10%. This savings will be lacking in the future and the most affected side, I have no doubt, will be projects linked to social responsibility. Finally, for G, we see the imminent risk of corporate information being shared without due control because it is used to train models. Disrespect for individual privacy and general data privacy regulations. In short, we still have time to think critically and try to mitigate the effects and once again have a “winter” that will postpone the intelligent use of technology to produce prosperity, not only for big tech and its executives, but for everyone.

Nandan M. Nilekani shares his thought on building great organizations. World does not need introduction of Nandan M. Nilekani. He is institution in himself. He has contributed not only to private sector but also to Government of India's initiatives. During conversation with MIT Leadership Center, Mr. Nilekani shares his insights on what it takes to build great organizations. 🎯 Build an institution which is beyond you. 🎯 An organization should exist beyond you, sustain beyond you and grow beyond you. 🎯 Sustainable organizations with a new set of leaders, continue to perform beyond you. 🎯 The creation of culture and values is psychic glue. 🎯 It is about attracting great talent and mentoring them. 🎯 The goal is to make a sustainable organization which outlives its founders. 🎯 I believe in a candid and open-door culture. 🎯 People can ask the most difficult questions and confront with me. 🎯 In today’s time, people must be aligned to the same goals. ✨ Bad news should come in the elevator and good news should come by staircase. Best wishes!
