Questions

Questions, answered.

What is a global capability center?

An offshore center you own, staffed by your own team, that delivers work for your business, from operations support to analytics, technology and new capabilities.

Who owns the GCC?

You do: the entity, the team and the intellectual property.

What does Colab91 do in a GCC engagement?

We lead the design and setup of the entity with your approval, and support your leaders on hiring, quality control and administration.

How does a GCC mature?

Our maturity map runs in four stages: Foundation (cost optimization and operational efficiency), Satellite (service delivery excellence), Capability Hub (intellectual property ownership) and Innovation Hub (native revenue streams).
