The GCC Maturity Gap: What Happens After the First Year?

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are no longer experimental. For many organizations, especially mid-sized and high-growth enterprises, setting up a GCC has become a proven way to scale capabilities and drive efficiency.

But while the first year is often defined by momentum, hiring, and initial delivery success, what follows is far less straightforward. This webinar explores a critical but often overlooked phase in the GCC journey — the transition from setup to maturity.

Through practical insights and real-world experience, the discussion unpacks why many GCCs plateau after early success, what separates high-performing centers from the rest, and how leadership teams can rethink their approach to unlock long-term value.
