In brief
- Intelligent Business Services fuel growth and place the user experience at the heart of the enterprise.
- The last decade has seen a business trend to evolve customer offerings beyond products to encompass experiences, convenience and services.
- A similar evolution is now occurring in the way that core business functions need to operate.
Intelligent Business Services—the next evolution of global business services—orchestrate human-centric, experience-led services enabled by digital that follow the needs of individual users rather than the linear steps of rigid, disconnected business processes.
It’s about people, not process
By adopting a human-centered point of view organizations can enhance the value of their business service functions in the eyes of customers, employees and business partners.
To make this happen, business services must evolve in two ways:
1. Operating model
Companies must adjust their operating model to break down the traditional functional siloes and organizational barriers between the ‘front’ and ‘back’ office.
2. Culture and mindset
They must develop a powerful company culture and mindset based on growth, customer satisfaction, experience and business value, rather than traditional levers of speed, cost, quality and efficiency.
