Operational Innovation & Global Business Services 

Operational Innovation requires organisations to further transition from Shared Services (SSC), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Global Business Services (GBS) towards the next generation of Global Services.

​

At Unique Excellence we have introduced Operational Innovative solutions that allowed these transactional centres to transition towards strategic centres and create:

• further cost reductions and global process efficiencies in back-office environments, e.g. IT, Finance, HR, Procurement,

• Centres of Excellence, e.g. Tax, Treasury, Sourcing, etc.

• Allowed further assessment to determine effective in-house vs. outsourced business models to drive better focus on key business areas

The transition from SSC & BPO towards GBS has shown a clear movement in creating coordination across the various "back-office services" for the next trench of incremental value. A large number of organisations have set-up these "centres", but haven't achieved the expected value.

Unique Excellence has led this journey in many global multinationals and is seen as a thought-leader to use Operational Innovative solutions to deliver further value. 

​

By introducing effective continuous improvement initiatives within this cross-functional, cross-country organisational model, it has allowed organisations to introduce global business ownership that incrementally introduces the right change to further transform your SSC organisation or your BPO engagement toward a better GBS. Unique Excellence has proven to continuously drive better innovative solutions that not only meet global, but also local business goals through the design, execution and deployment of Blended Operational Models.

Employee Engagement and Performance Culture

By working across multiple different country and business cultures, Unique Excellence fully appreciates how leadership, engagement and culture can enable or restrict business change. 

Through working extensively with "people" professionals, we have been able to understand leadership challenges and cultural differences. We know that it's imperative to implement change that supports these challenges and cultural customs. By working with local managers and leaders, Unique Excellence has been able to introduce effective methods that support different country and business cultures.

By active mentoring and guidance, we have introduced the innovative mindset in a number of operational and supply chain leaders, which have been able to drive trust in their organisation and deliver "small" innovative incremental changes that drive innovative excellence, support employee engagement and introduce a performance culture. 

Through working through the Agile Innovation Delivery method and a combination of internal and external specialists (e.g. Gallup), senior leadership was able to drive a higher employee engagement and performance improvements.

Innovation and New Product Development

Business innovation and new product development is an integral part of a business growth strategy and involves the creation of innovative business practices, products and services to achieve competitive market advantages and better address customer needs.
