13. Global Shared Service Model-
Service centers were set up in Costa Rica, Manila, and Newcastle, and work was spread across
these centers.
Shared Service Centers offer organizations the opportunity to eliminate redundant activities
and realize efficiencies in service delivery.
Most of the savings with the Shared Services model come from standardizing processes,
making it easier to provide support for multiple business units, while improving the speed and
quality of service.
The three Shared Service centers marked the first stage of a journey for P&G in the
development of a best-in-class service management organization.
In the next phase (2002-2003), GBS started an initiative to examine the possibility of
transferring some of the work that was being done by the Shared Services organization to third
party relationships.
P&G had gained some experience with third party providers by taking small projects to
offshore locations on a limited basis
