Students often study theory; you can provide the reality of how Fortune 500 companies actually operate. • Topic: From Shared Services to GBS: How companies move from simple cost-arbitrage to becoming value-driven "Global Capability Centers" (GCCs). • Topic: Operating Model Design: Explaining the "Build vs. Buy vs. Hybrid" decision-making process in global sourcing. 2.

Specialized GBS Domains Depending on your specific project history, you can deep-dive into: • Finance Transformation: Working capital optimization, ESG reporting, and tax transparency. • Supply Chain & Procurement: Building resilient global supply chains using GBS hubs. • HR Transformation: Designing a global "Hire-to-Retire" journey in a decentralized world. 5. Career Readiness (The "Consulting Toolkit") Students are always eager to learn the "unspoken" skills of a top-tier consultant. • Topic: Structured Problem Solving: Using MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) and hypothesis-driven approaches. • Topic: Storylining & Executive Communication: How to turn complex data into a 3-slide deck for a CFO. • Topic: The Life of a Consultant: Bridging the gap between academic theory and the high-pressure environment of GBS consulting.
