Global Business Services (GBS) is currently at an inflection point with unprecedented opportunities unlocked by AI technologies. AI is fast becoming the future of GBS technology-led transformation, and organizations that can adopt and adapt to an AI-first approach will undoubtedly accelerate their digital transformation and business growth. GBS leaders recognize that AI technologies, such as GenAI, can transform service delivery models, fuel growth, and drive substantial value. Hence, many of them are already making significant investments in AI. However, they are not turning into the proportional value that the AI-first approach could deliver.

But what does it mean to be AI-first in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape?

In a recent roundtable discussion on “AI-Driven Transformation for Global Business Services (GBS),” organized by EdgeVerve, industry leaders from finance, travel, consumer goods, procurement, and logistics gathered to share insights on implementing AI solutions. They also shared their expectations regarding the transformative role of AI in business operations. Let’s explore what these GBS leaders seek from AI. While the blog primarily captures insights shared by leaders from specific industries, most of the shared insights might also find applicability and value beyond their industries.

What do GBS leaders in the Consumer, Logistics, and Travel Sectors Seek to Gain from AI?

Looking ahead: AI transformation is inevitable

While cost optimization remains a top priority, GBS leaders are keen to harness the power of AI to transform operations, redefine workforce roles, and enhance operational efficiency to thrive in an increasingly evolving and competitive GBS landscape. That being said, the differentiator is not just technology but how organizations adopt and adapt to it (e.g., point solutions vs. platforms). Early AI adopters can gain a competitive advantage and achieve their transformation goals at speed and scale, provided they effectively embrace AI.
