The goal of my conversation is to encourage discussion and provide […]

Trust Builds Capability: Paula Ordoñez Angel on Growing a GCC Beyond the Original Blueprint
Heads of Global Capability Centers are often recognised for operational excellence, scale and efficiency. Yet behind every successful centre is a leadership philosophy that determines whether it remains a delivery organisation or evolves into a trusted strategic partner. In this edition of GCC Voices, I spoke with Paula Ordoñez Angel, former Americas GBS Site Director […]
Building a Distinct Global Capability Center
For the past several years, I have been working with and inside global capability centers – as a practitioner, as an advisor, and as someone who has watched what separates the centers that grow from the ones that quietly lose relevance. One thing I did not find, in all that time, was a course built […]
New Udemy course launched: Building a Distinct Global Capability Center
There are two kinds of global capability centers. The first kind delivers. On time. Within SLA. Year after year. And then it gets closed. Not because it failed. Because nobody could explain — clearly, specifically, compellingly — what made it worth protecting. I have watched this happen to centers that outperformed their peers on every […]

What Does Your Choice of Channel Say About How Much You Trust Your Employees?
In the space of a few years, the question of how to communicate major change to a workforce has produced answers as different as the organisations giving them. Looking at five global leaders side by side, the channel choice alone tells a story about organisational culture, leader confidence, and the relationship between internal and external […]

What is the real risk for Global Capability Centers right now?
It is not just about cost or finding talent. The real risk is relevance. Srinivas Sampath and I recently ran a webinar titled Global Capability Center Change and Communication Strategy Blueprint for the industry. In this short clip, Srinivas shares a perspective that many GCC leaders may recognize but perhaps do not openly discuss. Watch […]
Building the Internal Communications Community in India | Moving Beyond the ‘Lift and Shift’
A recent conversation on LinkedIn sparked an important question: why don’t we see more conferences, summits, or intimate roundtables in India dedicated specifically to internal communications (IC) and culture? It is a valid observation. Globally, there is a thriving ecosystem of IC-focused communities and thought leadership. In India, while incredible work is being done by […]
