The aim is to create an exceptional experience for both internal customers and GBS employees. Digital tools and platforms play a key role in achieving this.

Digitally enabled, embedding digital capability and adoption across the enterprise
An analytics and insights engine leveraging data from across the organisation
A hub for enterprise transformation by prioritising and delivering transformation
An empowered workforce operating with a digital mindset and reskilled to deliver next generation services
