GCC Assessment Framework


Gloplax has a proprietary assessment framework for Global Capability Centers (GCC) which involves creating a structured approach to evaluate the center’s performance, capabilities, and alignment with strategic objectives. Here are key elements that should be included in an assessment framework for a GCC:

  1. Strategic Alignment: Assess the extent to which the GCC’s objectives, activities, and outcomes align with the organization’s overall strategic goals and priorities. Evaluate how effectively the center supports the business strategy and contributes to value creation.

  2. Operational Excellence: Evaluate the center’s operational performance in terms of efficiency, productivity, quality, and cost-effectiveness. Measure key performance indicators (KPIs) related to service delivery, process improvement, resource utilization, and customer satisfaction.

  3. Talent Management: Assess the center’s talent strategy, including recruitment, retention, development, and engagement of employees. Evaluate the skills, capabilities, and competencies of the workforce to support current and future business needs.

  4. Innovation and Collaboration: Evaluate the center’s capabilities for innovation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration within the organization. Assess the center’s contribution to driving innovation, best practices, and continuous improvement across global teams.

  5. Technology and Infrastructure: Assess the center’s technology infrastructure, systems, and tools to support operations, data management, and digital transformation initiatives. Evaluate the center’s readiness for emerging technologies, scalability, and security.

  6. Risk Management: Evaluate the center’s risk management practices, compliance with regulatory requirements, data security measures, and business continuity plans. Assess the center’s ability to identify, mitigate, and respond to operational risks effectively.

  7. Customer Impact: Measure the center’s impact on internal and external customers, including service levels, responsiveness, feedback mechanisms, and value delivery. Assess customer satisfaction, loyalty, and feedback to drive continuous improvement.

  8. Financial Performance: Evaluate the center’s financial performance in terms of cost savings, revenue generation, return on investment (ROI), and cost efficiency. Measure the center’s contribution to cost optimization, revenue growth, and overall profitability.

  9. Governance and Compliance: Assess the center’s governance structure, decision-making processes, and compliance with regulatory, legal, and ethical standards. Ensure transparency, accountability, and adherence to best practices in governance.

  10. Continuous Improvement: Implement a process for ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the GCC’s performance. Establish mechanisms for feedback, performance reviews, action planning, and benchmarking against industry best practices.

By developing and implementing a comprehensive assessment framework that covers these key areas, organizations can evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of their Global Capability Center, drive continuous improvement, and ensure strategic alignment with business objectives.
