GCC Beyond The Obvious
Nilesh Biniwale & Nilesh Kulkarni
Our GCC thinking is informed by industry practitioners and research. A practitioner-led exploration of how GCCs can move beyond efficiency and execution to shape global strategy, innovation, products, talent, technology, and competitive advantage.
The book and its practitioners inform the GCC context. EnterpriseJoy brings the strategy, experimentation, and execution mechanisms to help organisations build what comes next.
for Academia
Build the GCC talent before the GCC needs it.
We partner with academic institutions to identify GCC programmes worth building, design them, prove them together, and build the faculty capability to keep them relevant.
GCC academic portfolio Strategy in Under 5 Hours™
Craft a winning GCC education portfolio for the institution. Account for how AI is changing GCC roles, capabilities, work, and employer expectations.
GCC programme designing and building
Turn a GCC programme idea into something ready to deliver in 10-weeks. Curriculum, learning outcomes, modules, assessments, and assets.
Co-deliver pilot programmes and train-the-faculty
Prove the programme with real learners while preparing faculty to independently run it. We build faculty capability while we build evidence.
Programme refresh retainer and on-going support
Keep established programmes current as technology, AI, roles, operating models, and employer expectations change.
for Global Capability Centers
Seven ways to build an enterprising GCC. As a GCC, delivery is no longer enough. The opportunity is to build capabilities that shape how the global enterprise competes.
1. GCC Strategy, Setup & Scale
Build the GCC for what comes next. Establish, evolve, or scale the GCC as a strategic enterprise capability. Explore AI's implications for capability location, workforce shape, operating model, governance, and the future GCC mandate. Includes: GCC ambition and mandate • business case • location • establishment model • operating model • organisation design • governance • HQ-GCC integration • transition • ecosystem • resilience • new capabilities • new service lines • scaling.
2. GCC Talent Advantage
Turn talent into strategic advantage. Build the talent system required for what the GCC is becoming, not only what it delivers today. Build talent for human + AI work. Includes: Talent strategy • workforce architecture • Differentiators, Stabilisers & Feeders • acquisition • EVP • careers • mobility • succession • retention • learning • culture • leadership pipeline • academic partnerships • future skills • AI talent • human-AI role redesign • continuous re-skilling • AI-assisted work • emerging capability pipelines.
3. The Enterprising Leader - GCC Edition
As a GCC, you’ve proven delivery. What your leaders build shapes it as the ALT-HQ. If your GCC leaders had 12 weeks to turn unexplored ambitions into global business advantage, what would they build? Global products • Business lines • Capabilities • AI-native workflows • Operating models • Or something untapped? Includes: The Enterprising Leader Webinars, Enterprising GCC Leaders’ Strategies in Under 5 Hours™, The Enterprising GCC Leaders’ Cohort, The Enterprising GCC Leader Partnered, and The Enterprising GCC Leaders’ Inner Circle.
4. Product-Centric GCC
