Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres
Introduction
GIC’s Next Frontier
“We believe that GICs, with their scale and process excellence capabilities,
and start-ups with their speed, agility, and innovative mindset could be
a potent force for any organisation to tackle disruption in this hyper-
competitive world.”
– GIC’s Next Frontier, April 20181
To discover new realities and explore
shifting industry requirements, global
in-house centres (GICs) are pivoting their
structure to a competence-based model
and transforming into global capability
centres (GCCs). These GCCs are pushing
their boundaries to gain a strategic
position in the global ecosystem to
co-create the future of enterprise.
Although no defined template exists to
gain this position, there is one common
element – defining an approach to drive
and support the parent’s innovation
journey. Some leading GCCs have been
forthcoming to experiment the open
innovation model by collaborating with
the external ecosystem.
The last paper focused on the
impact of technology disruption on
businesses and how local start-up
ecosystem can be used to make the
most of it. We defined two broad
ways to be considered while engaging
with start-ups – selecting a start-up
partner through market scouting and
setting up accelerator or an incubator
programme1
. Based on continuous
engagement with various GCCs on
innovation, we have seen multiple
variations to the two methods.
As a continuation to the previous paper,
this one shares our perspectives and
learnings on how a GCC can look at
executing the start-up collaboration
model. This paper’s intent is to provide
its readers a summary of a typical
execution playbook.
Realising the high-potential talent in
the country, GCCs in India (originally
meant to drive cost agenda of the global
enterprise) are now going beyond their
regular course of business. This new
mindset, focused on value creation,
has encouraged GCCs to look outside
their business as usual (BAU) areas and
experiment in ways to contribute to the
parent company’s innovation journey.
We notice multiple variations to the
model in which a few leading GCCs are
experimenting in this space (Figure 1).

BAU focus: Doing what a low-cost
market lets you do really well
GCCs’ focus is on increasing functional
breadth and depth. Innovation lens
is largely focused on routine and
incremental changes that help improve
ongoing operations. While we believe
being well entrenched in the enterprise
landscape is a critical factor for success,
we find many of our clients have high
expectations from parent companies
on tightening costs and streamlining
operations. In this category, the choice
for GCCs is to proactively disrupt
themselves or be disrupted.
Testing waters: Exploring the start-up
ecosystem
Start-ups are ahead in covering ground
in innovation and solving business
problems through low-cost/innovative
solutions. Being the world’s third-largest
start-up ecosystem2
with more than
20,000 start-ups (~8,800 tech start-ups)3
,
India has enabled multiple GCCs to
think outside the purview of BAU areas.
These centres are either exploring the
ecosystem or already working with
start-up(s) at a small scale to identify
high-value partnership areas.
An investment bank’s GCC in India
adopted a playbook on defining the
optimal engagement model to engage
with start-ups. The key questions
this GCC answered with the playbook
were where to start and how to keep
progressing with an eye on envisioned
results. The GCC is breaking traditional
ways of working, conducting immersion
trips across multiple cities, collaborating
with start-ups to deploy new capabilities,
and starting with financial reporting
using natural language generation (NLG).
PoC@scale: Using start-ups to solve
specific business problems
Evaluating the ecosystem can help
identify high-traction areas where
synergies can be drawn by collaborating
with start-ups. By converging on specific
use cases in high-impact areas (ranging
from the GCC or to the business), a
GCC can take an objective approach
to start-up partnership by market
scouting and selection. A scalable proof
of concept (PoC) can then be co-created
with an agenda of driving disruptive
efficiencies or contributing to growth to
ensure the benefits pollinate across the
organisation.
A consumer packaged goods major’s
GCC in India identified innovation trends
in computer vision and its applicability
to solve specific business problems.
A successful PoC development to
increase manufacturing efficiency of
one product was later targeted for a
vertical and horizontal scaling to drive
greater value for many of the company’s
manufacturing units.
Structured approach: Driving
structured open innovation
programmes
A GCC can define contours of its
innovation programme by either
developing a framework for itself or
extending the structured innovation
approach of the parent. This facilitates
multiple PoC developments running at
the same time with a defined selection,
and a working and follow-up mechanism
− all orchestrated by a centralised
strategic oversight team.
An automobile manufacturer’s GCC
in India runs an open innovation
programme to engage with the local
ecosystem on an ongoing basis. The
innovation model, adopted from the
global business, allows the centre to
create a separate innovation vertical
that follows a structured path to select
problem statements and run multiple
PoC development projects at any
point in time. This makes the centre
a key player in the company’s global
innovation journey.
Sustained open innovation: Equipping
the open innovation programme to
become self-sustainable
At the highest maturity level, an open
innovation programme becomes self-
sustainable by either generating revenue
or re-investing savings to fund its
operations. This stage is characterised
by vertical and horizontal deployment
of low-cost solutions, cultural shift, and
a change in workforce’s mindset. At this
maturity level, a GCC is not just close
to the innovation ecosystem, but also
an integral part of it. This can further
enable a GCC to become the technical
due-diligence authority for its corporate
investment arm.

Figure 2: Open innovation approach
Approach to open innovation
with start-ups
Putting a robust framework around
an initiative as unstructured and
experimental as innovation can
often become the very thing that
discourages it.
A well thought through start-up
partnership strategy is complex and
requires a contextualised integration
of innovation vision, process, and
governance for effective execution.
The strategy is complex because two
organisations of different scale and DNA
try to come together to define success in
a common way.
Although no innovation is readily
available in a box, an execution
discipline can make the effort scalable
and sustainable, and help achieve the
overall vision.
Framing key lessons from open
innovation at GCCs is an iterative, five-
step process that may enable these
centres to strike the right chord on start-
up partnerships (Figure 2).

Inside-out approach to ideation: Subject matter experts (SMEs) at the GCC look for pain points within the centre and/
or its global business. These innovations have an immediate impact on the organisation as the problems are already
in the organisational radar.
Subject
Two fundamental questions that
GCCs hit upon while embarking on an
innovation initiative are – (1) where
do we play (do we do something to
improve our GCC operations, or do
we do something to improve our core
business operations and processes, or
do we focus on breakthroughs); and
(2) how do we get started? A ‘one size
fits all’ answer does not exist to the
first question as there is a multitude of
contextual layers of where and how a
GCC is positioned within its enterprise
landscape. However, the good news is
there are proven ways to get started.
Channels that facilitate a continuous
flow of ideas or problems into the
demand pipeline serve as a prerequisite
to launching an innovation initiative.
Depending on organisational
requirements, a GCC may take an inside-
out and/or outside-in approach to build
such channels, ensuring the ongoing
availability of next set of ideas to work
upon (Figure 3).

The idea/requirement/problem statement comes
from business headquarters. It can be either a fresh
start, or if the GCC is already working on it, the work
needs to be aligned to meet global demands.
GCC needs strong
business context
The idea is already
a priority for
headquarters, making
approvals and funding
easy.

SMEs at GCC look for an idea within their work field.
The idea is then presented to GCC leadership and
counterparts at headquarters to get approvals to

Creating
an ideation
platform
A platform needs to be institutionalised where
employees can share their ideas and problems. Such
a tool should provide an end-to-end transparency in
the innovation process. It can further be gamified to
make the process engaging.
Consistent focus on tool
adoption
Transparency, ease, and
employee engagement
make the tool ‘sticky’
and innovation
pervasive.

Ideation events Organise informal events regularly, inviting teams
from inside and outside of the GCC. Such events can
be in the form of a hackathon, crowdsourcing, etc.
Marketing strategy and a
defined incentive system
Periodic events see
high participation
from employees and
ecosystem alike.
Outside-in approach to ideation: Under this approach, the ideas emerge out of linkages established between the GCC
and the external innovation ecosystem. This approach’s effectiveness rests heavily on the GCC leadership as this
needs decisions on large-scale external collaborations.
Hybrid approach to ideation: A GCC can successfully run both the inside-out and outside-in approaches to ideation in
parallel. In some cases, it can combine both the approaches to build one route to ideation.
08
Scan
The ecosystem scan is executed with
the ultimate objective of identifying the
gaps in current/future skill requirements
within the organisation and identifying
these skills in the outside environment.
Internal scanning
A thorough scan of the Indian start-up
ecosystem will need an exorbitant
amount of time and cost. Therefore,
downsizing the scope to certain start-up
categories based on select broad criteria
can make the process more efficient.
The internal scanning commences
with identifying the functions to which
current problem statements belong,
their technological requirements, and the
context of domain/industry (Figure 4).
When the existing problem statements
are exhausted, a GCC may need to build
a high-level future innovation roadmap.
This, along with current problem
statements, becomes the anchor for an
external ecosystem scan.
External ecosystem scanning
The technology, function, and industry
elements of needs identified are
converted as requirements and pre-
requisites to the start-up ecosystem.
If the majority of the elements align, it
shows potential synergies that can be
drawn.
Unfolding the start-up database
through rounds of filtering generates a
list of start-up profiles that are potential
fits for a requirement. The outcome of
external ecosystem scan is a long list of
relevant start-ups.
Select
The long list of start-ups is generated in
the Scan phase and then flows through
multiple rounds of shortlisting. Selecting
start-ups is an extensive exercise and
calls for a multi-dimensional expertise
in the fields of innovation, domain
knowledge, and GCC, coupled with a
reasonably sized start-up database
(Figure 5). Insights into the future of
different aspects of these factors, along
with commensurate experience and
know-how, enable an organisation to
identify emerging trends. These form
the fundamentals of the most efficient
start-up selection exercise.
Yet the criticality of combining the
four factors is often not considered.
Usually ‘start-up insights and database’
receives unprecedented weight over the
other three factors, which sometimes
lead to a flawed requirement capture.
This potentially leads to cost and time
overrun, resulting in minimal results with
a low hit rate. An all-encompassing study
of the GCC, domain, and innovation
ecosystem can help fill this gap and
select the right start-up.
The initial round of screening is a
secondary research, which creates a
list of start-ups in the selected domain.
An exploration of clientele and use
cases served gives a broad idea of their
relevance to the problem statement
under consideration. With a view
to ascertain each other’s in-depth
capabilities and agenda, the GCC may
follow this secondary research by a
two-way discussion with the shortlisted

start-ups. Depending on the complexity
of problem statement, two to three
successful interactions typically take a
start-up to the final round of selection,
i.e., pitch event.
Two to five start-ups for each problem
statement reach the final round of
selection where they pitch their solution
to a larger audience. These start-ups are
evaluated based on the potential of their
approach and one (or two) of the finalists
is selected and on-boarded for PoC
development (Figure 6).
Seed
On-boarding a start-up
Open innovation combines the agility
of start-ups with the experience of an
industry leader at GCC. The infusion of
this agile culture in GCC should begin
at the contracting stage by keeping
the requirements to a bare minimum,
allowing a quick on-boarding.
A PoC agreement and a non-disclosure
agreement (NDA) are prerequisites to
kicking-off the development process.
The NDA restricts start-ups from sharing
confidential and project-sensitive data
outside and the PoC agreement lays out
the detailed terms and condition of this
partnership.

A scope of work (SoW) statement
defines the project’s objective and
tasks. It may be created by either
party in coordination with the other.
Dividing the total scope into stages
with deliverables and payments (if
any) attached to it helps in assuring
GCC of consistent start-up cooperation
and the start-up of steady financial
construct.
Among the minutes of partnership
laid down in the PoC agreement,
IP ownership becomes a critical
parameter to assess. Any IP created
during the development process
could be owned jointly or by either
party. This, along with exclusivity,
becomes the key consideration during
the contracting phase.
Any delay and lack of transparency
during this step can prove to be a
deterrent for the start-up participants
and the project team at the GCC. A
critical success factor to get past this
speed bump is to align GCC’s legal,
finance, procurement, and vendor
management functions with a mandate
to move fast while accounting for
foreseen risks.
Conducting the PoC programme
Although putting a structure to the
innovation programme allows for an
appropriate governance, structuring
innovation itself will take creativity
out of it.
For GCCs initiating their innovation
journey, the first few PoCs in the
programme should be successful
and in areas that will help obtain
organisational visibility.
An initial success that gets attention of
the enterprise helps the centre become
acquainted to the idea of innovation.
It creates the traction necessary to
encourage employees to think outside
of their BAU purview and enter the new
era of disruption.
While choosing the first few PoCs,
the following characteristics could be
considered:
• Horizontal and vertical relevance
across organisation
• Possibility to finish in a short
duration
• Having headquarter visibility and a
strong sponsorship anchor, with a
positive business case outlook
• Ample start-up options
• Quantifiable envisioned results
The element of ‘co-creation’ is critical
in an open innovation initiative, with
clarity on the interdependencies and
roles of each party. The development
team can be structured in a way
to ensure every member gets to
contribute their unique skills. A
successful PoC programme occurs at
the juncture of right domain knowledge,
tech expertise, and agile ways of
working. The operating model should
facilitate mentorship by SMEs on
domain knowledge while using the right
technology and start-ups’ agility.
For a GCC, the critical success factor to
deliver a successful PoC through start-
ups is a fine balance between control
and harnessing a start-up’s creativity. In
these scenarios, the centre is not trying
to solve a standard problem with a
standard solution through a ‘run of the
mill’ vendor. Although GCCs may want
to drive the PoC development, there are
merits in giving start-ups their space.
The PoC programme concludes with
‘Demo Day’, where start-ups and GCC
team members showcase the developed
solution to a larger audience. This
audience may include top management
from headquarters and the GCC. Based
on the results, the management takes
a decision on the way forward with
start-ups.
Measuring results
The solution development phase
should have an optimal level of
governance that seeks continuous
results while providing the desired
level of flexibility. This also calls for a
tectonic cultural shift – a culture that
acknowledges failure as an option
and agile iterations as a way of life.
This is why scoping the PoC becomes
critical – choosing a scope of work that is
large enough to show success and small
enough to fail.
This does not necessitate that open
innovation initiatives be carried out
without predetermined quantifiable
targets. Targets may be established
on a portfolio and not on an individual
project.. To assess the value add of the
open innovation initiative (in general,
and the performance of a portfolio in
specific), a GCC can measure two sets of
targets – ones that lead to innovation and
the others that are generated as a result
of innovation (Figure 7).
Scale
‘Demo Day’ marks the end of one
development cycle and the beginning
of the next. While the whole course
Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres
11
Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres
is repeated all over again with new
problems and start-ups, the PoCs of the
last cycle are evaluated for large-scale
implementation.
A PoC project works on a small portion
of a solution to determine if the
solution in its entirety will be feasible.
The PoC thus developed undergoes
rounds of feasibility analysis to assess
its horizontal and vertical applicability,
long-term viability, and business case. If
the solution turns out to be feasible, the
GCC can initiate scaling under a defined
‘Exit to Scale’ model. Otherwise, the
GCC may go back to the problem, and
explore a new and better approach to
solution.
Getting to this phase defines the intent
and success of this model in the eyes
of the parent organisation. Ability to
scale from a PoC is the last mile that
differentiates focus from enthusiasm.
Getting this act together is the only
means to graduate to the far end of the
spectrum – ‘sustained open innovation’.
Exit to scale
Once a PoC is considered feasible to
scale, a GCC can begin planning the
implementation route. Each solution
comes with a distinct applicability,
leading to varying resource

requirements and risk assumption. The
planning stage lays out the procedure,
dependencies, budgets, governance,
and other requirements around which
the PoC project has to be scaled.
The start-up’s ability to scale needs
to be assessed upfront so that
the organisation’s scaling intent
is addressed. Bootstrap start-ups
working with a small team might not
be able to keep pace with the GCC’s
execution strategy. Such cases may
require start-ups or the GCCs build
execution partnerships that can
address scalability challenges.
A quick and agile execution assists in
incremental delivery in phases and a
continued momentum. User feedback
can then be used to stabilise and
optimise the output and keep updating
it per the requirements (Figure 8)
Exit to scale must not be perceived
as an end. It is merely another step
in the GCC’s transformation journey.
These scaling projects may need
to be immediately followed by an
operating model change as these
implementations can (and should) have
an impact across organisation that will
call for changes in the current state of
business.
Foundation
An innovation initiative is a synergetic
aggregation of multiple steps
Infra
The physical and technological
infrastructure at a GCC forms the
sandbox within which PoCs are
developed. As a measure to accelerate
the development process, GCCs may
need to consider broad infrastructural
requirements essential to achieve the
initiative’s objectives and integrate
those in the centre.
While every problem may have a
differing set of requirements, some
common infrastructure elements
include the following:
• A separate innovation space to be
built to serve as the control centre
and collaboration area
• Servers, storage, and computer
systems to be used in development if
the requirement is on-prem
• A common software platform with
front-end for users and back-end for
leadership and innovation core team
• Any industry-specific tools and
technology that will enable
development of prototypes
Data
The majority of the emerging
technologies, such as AI and analytics,
have heavy data requirements (big data
in some cases). Keeping other factors
constant, higher the quality and quantity
of data, better the solution that is
generated.
A data strategy forms the backbone of
an innovation initiative at a GCC. At its
core, a data strategy is how a GCC plans
to organise, manage, and use its data as
an asset. Making the right data available
for the PoC and start-ups is a critical
success factor.
People
While a GCC can have external partners
for ecosystem scanning, an in-house
innovation core team is required to
direct the innovation initiative. This team
receives guidance from the GCC head
and senior business leadership, ensuring
visibility and a flow of top-down culture
of change and innovation. Eventually,
this team should become a part of the
extended corporate innovation office.
The core team manages overall
governance of the open innovation
initiative. It works closely with the
corporate innovation team and
leadership to lay the GCC’s innovation
vision and create a demand pipeline.
While the team runs operational
activities, such as start-up scouting,
SoW building, and PoC management,
the more strategic roles for this team
involve anticipating barriers to change
and taking measures to reduce their
impact. These measures include tailored
immersion programmes at different
layers of the enterprise, providing
working guidelines, start-up workshops,
and 360 degree feedback.
Brand
Running PoC projects in silos may result
in pockets of innovation within GCC.
To have a structure that facilitates an
all-inclusive cultural change, continuous
efforts beyond PoCs may be required
to run the programme more holistically.
Branding plays a critical role, and helps
build and sustain the momentum of the
programme.

Conclusion
A GCC is strategically positioned to co-create the future of operations for the enterprise. It is a microcosm of the larger business
with well-entrenched operations. It has location advantages and can deliver at scale and low cost. Hence, it is an ideal testing bed
to find something that is large enough to experiment and small enough to fail. Bringing together a GCC and start-ups can only
accelerate innovation.
GCCs in India have already started using start-up community to expedite their transformation progression. Sustained open
innovation does not lie on far side of the journey anymore.

Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres Introduction GIC’s Next Frontier “We believe that GICs, with their scale and process excellence capabilities, and start-ups with their speed, agility, and innovative mindset could be a potent force for any organisation to tackle disruption in this hyper- competitive world.” – GIC’s Next Frontier, April 20181 To discover new realities and explore shifting industry requirements, global in-house centres (GICs) are pivoting their structure to a competence-based model and transforming into global capability centres (GCCs). These GCCs are pushing their boundaries to gain a strategic position in the global ecosystem to co-create the future of enterprise. Although no defined template exists to gain this position, there is one common element – defining an approach to drive and support the parent’s innovation journey. Some leading GCCs have been forthcoming to experiment the open innovation model by collaborating with the external ecosystem. The last paper focused on the impact of technology disruption on businesses and how local start-up ecosystem can be used to make the most of it. We defined two broad ways to be considered while engaging with start-ups – selecting a start-up partner through market scouting and setting up accelerator or an incubator programme1 . Based on continuous engagement with various GCCs on innovation, we have seen multiple variations to the two methods. As a continuation to the previous paper, this one shares our perspectives and learnings on how a GCC can look at executing the start-up collaboration model. This paper’s intent is to provide its readers a summary of a typical execution playbook. Realising the high-potential talent in the country, GCCs in India (originally meant to drive cost agenda of the global enterprise) are now going beyond their regular course of business. This new mindset, focused on value creation, has encouraged GCCs to look outside their business as usual (BAU) areas and experiment in ways to contribute to the parent company’s innovation journey. We notice multiple variations to the model in which a few leading GCCs are experimenting in this space (Figure 1). Figure 1: GCC innovation spectrum BAU focus Testing waters PoC @ scale Structured approach Sustained open innovation 03
  • 4. 04 Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres BAU focus: Doing what a low-cost market lets you do really well GCCs’ focus is on increasing functional breadth and depth. Innovation lens is largely focused on routine and incremental changes that help improve ongoing operations. While we believe being well entrenched in the enterprise landscape is a critical factor for success, we find many of our clients have high expectations from parent companies on tightening costs and streamlining operations. In this category, the choice for GCCs is to proactively disrupt themselves or be disrupted. Testing waters: Exploring the start-up ecosystem Start-ups are ahead in covering ground in innovation and solving business problems through low-cost/innovative solutions. Being the world’s third-largest start-up ecosystem2 with more than 20,000 start-ups (~8,800 tech start-ups)3 , India has enabled multiple GCCs to think outside the purview of BAU areas. These centres are either exploring the ecosystem or already working with start-up(s) at a small scale to identify high-value partnership areas. An investment bank’s GCC in India adopted a playbook on defining the optimal engagement model to engage with start-ups. The key questions this GCC answered with the playbook were where to start and how to keep progressing with an eye on envisioned results. The GCC is breaking traditional ways of working, conducting immersion trips across multiple cities, collaborating with start-ups to deploy new capabilities, and starting with financial reporting using natural language generation (NLG). PoC@scale: Using start-ups to solve specific business problems Evaluating the ecosystem can help identify high-traction areas where synergies can be drawn by collaborating with start-ups. By converging on specific use cases in high-impact areas (ranging from the GCC or to the business), a GCC can take an objective approach to start-up partnership by market scouting and selection. A scalable proof of concept (PoC) can then be co-created with an agenda of driving disruptive efficiencies or contributing to growth to ensure the benefits pollinate across the organisation. A consumer packaged goods major’s GCC in India identified innovation trends in computer vision and its applicability to solve specific business problems. A successful PoC development to increase manufacturing efficiency of one product was later targeted for a vertical and horizontal scaling to drive greater value for many of the company’s manufacturing units. Structured approach: Driving structured open innovation programmes A GCC can define contours of its innovation programme by either developing a framework for itself or extending the structured innovation approach of the parent. This facilitates multiple PoC developments running at the same time with a defined selection, and a working and follow-up mechanism − all orchestrated by a centralised strategic oversight team. An automobile manufacturer’s GCC in India runs an open innovation programme to engage with the local ecosystem on an ongoing basis. The innovation model, adopted from the global business, allows the centre to create a separate innovation vertical that follows a structured path to select problem statements and run multiple PoC development projects at any point in time. This makes the centre a key player in the company’s global innovation journey. Sustained open innovation: Equipping the open innovation programme to become self-sustainable At the highest maturity level, an open innovation programme becomes self- sustainable by either generating revenue or re-investing savings to fund its operations. This stage is characterised by vertical and horizontal deployment of low-cost solutions, cultural shift, and a change in workforce’s mindset. At this maturity level, a GCC is not just close to the innovation ecosystem, but also an integral part of it. This can further enable a GCC to become the technical due-diligence authority for its corporate investment arm.
  • 5. 05 Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres Figure 2: Open innovation approach Approach to open innovation with start-ups Putting a robust framework around an initiative as unstructured and experimental as innovation can often become the very thing that discourages it. A well thought through start-up partnership strategy is complex and requires a contextualised integration of innovation vision, process, and governance for effective execution. The strategy is complex because two organisations of different scale and DNA try to come together to define success in a common way. Although no innovation is readily available in a box, an execution discipline can make the effort scalable and sustainable, and help achieve the overall vision. Framing key lessons from open innovation at GCCs is an iterative, five- step process that may enable these centres to strike the right chord on start- up partnerships (Figure 2). Infra Data People Brand Subject Define contours and converge on themes/use cases Scan Scan ecosystem based on selected themes Seed Develop PoCs and evaluate results Scale Pick relevant PoCs and scale within the organization Select Shortlist the right start-ups Programme management
  • 6. 06 Inside-out approach to ideation: Subject matter experts (SMEs) at the GCC look for pain points within the centre and/ or its global business. These innovations have an immediate impact on the organisation as the problems are already in the organisational radar. Subject Two fundamental questions that GCCs hit upon while embarking on an innovation initiative are – (1) where do we play (do we do something to improve our GCC operations, or do we do something to improve our core business operations and processes, or do we focus on breakthroughs); and (2) how do we get started? A ‘one size fits all’ answer does not exist to the first question as there is a multitude of contextual layers of where and how a GCC is positioned within its enterprise landscape. However, the good news is there are proven ways to get started. Channels that facilitate a continuous flow of ideas or problems into the demand pipeline serve as a prerequisite to launching an innovation initiative. Depending on organisational requirements, a GCC may take an inside- out and/or outside-in approach to build such channels, ensuring the ongoing availability of next set of ideas to work upon (Figure 3). Figure 3: Ideation approaches Hybrid approach Inside-out Outside-in An all-encompassing ideation approach Route Description Key requirements Benefit Ideas from business The idea/requirement/problem statement comes from business headquarters. It can be either a fresh start, or if the GCC is already working on it, the work needs to be aligned to meet global demands. GCC needs strong business context The idea is already a priority for headquarters, making approvals and funding easy. Work field exploration SMEs at GCC look for an idea within their work field. The idea is then presented to GCC leadership and counterparts at headquarters to get approvals to initiate work. Idea generation governance at the GCC It builds a better enterprise image for GCC by promoting the ‘thinker’ culture. Creating an ideation platform A platform needs to be institutionalised where employees can share their ideas and problems. Such a tool should provide an end-to-end transparency in the innovation process. It can further be gamified to make the process engaging. Consistent focus on tool adoption Transparency, ease, and employee engagement make the tool ‘sticky’ and innovation pervasive. Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres

Ideation events Organise informal events regularly, inviting teams from inside and outside of the GCC. Such events can be in the form of a hackathon, crowdsourcing, etc. Marketing strategy and a defined incentive system Periodic events see high participation from employees and ecosystem alike. Outside-in approach to ideation: Under this approach, the ideas emerge out of linkages established between the GCC and the external innovation ecosystem. This approach’s effectiveness rests heavily on the GCC leadership as this needs decisions on large-scale external collaborations. Hybrid approach to ideation: A GCC can successfully run both the inside-out and outside-in approaches to ideation in parallel. In some cases, it can combine both the approaches to build one route to ideation.
  • 8. 08 Scan The ecosystem scan is executed with the ultimate objective of identifying the gaps in current/future skill requirements within the organisation and identifying these skills in the outside environment. Internal scanning A thorough scan of the Indian start-up ecosystem will need an exorbitant amount of time and cost. Therefore, downsizing the scope to certain start-up categories based on select broad criteria can make the process more efficient. The internal scanning commences with identifying the functions to which current problem statements belong, their technological requirements, and the context of domain/industry (Figure 4). When the existing problem statements are exhausted, a GCC may need to build a high-level future innovation roadmap. This, along with current problem statements, becomes the anchor for an external ecosystem scan. External ecosystem scanning The technology, function, and industry elements of needs identified are converted as requirements and pre- requisites to the start-up ecosystem. If the majority of the elements align, it shows potential synergies that can be drawn. Unfolding the start-up database through rounds of filtering generates a list of start-up profiles that are potential fits for a requirement. The outcome of external ecosystem scan is a long list of relevant start-ups. Select The long list of start-ups is generated in the Scan phase and then flows through multiple rounds of shortlisting. Selecting start-ups is an extensive exercise and calls for a multi-dimensional expertise in the fields of innovation, domain knowledge, and GCC, coupled with a reasonably sized start-up database (Figure 5). Insights into the future of different aspects of these factors, along with commensurate experience and know-how, enable an organisation to identify emerging trends. These form the fundamentals of the most efficient start-up selection exercise. Yet the criticality of combining the four factors is often not considered. Usually ‘start-up insights and database’ receives unprecedented weight over the other three factors, which sometimes lead to a flawed requirement capture. This potentially leads to cost and time overrun, resulting in minimal results with a low hit rate. An all-encompassing study of the GCC, domain, and innovation ecosystem can help fill this gap and select the right start-up. The initial round of screening is a secondary research, which creates a list of start-ups in the selected domain. An exploration of clientele and use cases served gives a broad idea of their relevance to the problem statement under consideration. With a view to ascertain each other’s in-depth capabilities and agenda, the GCC may follow this secondary research by a two-way discussion with the shortlisted Figure 4: Start-up relevance criteria Technology Industry Function Figure 5: Essentials of effective start-up selection Innovation experience and insights GCC experience and insights Domain experience and insights Startup insight and database Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres

Depending on the complexity of problem statement, two to three successful interactions typically take a start-up to the final round of selection, i.e., pitch event. Two to five start-ups for each problem statement reach the final round of selection where they pitch their solution to a larger audience. These start-ups are evaluated based on the potential of their approach and one (or two) of the finalists is selected and on-boarded for PoC development (Figure 6). Seed On-boarding a start-up Open innovation combines the agility of start-ups with the experience of an industry leader at GCC. The infusion of this agile culture in GCC should begin at the contracting stage by keeping the requirements to a bare minimum, allowing a quick on-boarding. A PoC agreement and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) are prerequisites to kicking-off the development process. The NDA restricts start-ups from sharing confidential and project-sensitive data outside and the PoC agreement lays out the detailed terms and condition of this partnership.
  • 10. 10 Figure 7: Sample KPIs to measure innovation performance Inputs to innovation Outputs of innovation Number of ideas/ problems in pipeline Startups in initiative database Batches run Number of scaled projects Functions covered Patents/IP registered New product/service created Revenue generated Cost savings Savings reinvested A scope of work (SoW) statement defines the project’s objective and tasks. It may be created by either party in coordination with the other. Dividing the total scope into stages with deliverables and payments (if any) attached to it helps in assuring GCC of consistent start-up cooperation and the start-up of steady financial construct. Among the minutes of partnership laid down in the PoC agreement, IP ownership becomes a critical parameter to assess. Any IP created during the development process could be owned jointly or by either party. This, along with exclusivity, becomes the key consideration during the contracting phase. Any delay and lack of transparency during this step can prove to be a deterrent for the start-up participants and the project team at the GCC. A critical success factor to get past this speed bump is to align GCC’s legal, finance, procurement, and vendor management functions with a mandate to move fast while accounting for foreseen risks. Conducting the PoC programme Although putting a structure to the innovation programme allows for an appropriate governance, structuring innovation itself will take creativity out of it. For GCCs initiating their innovation journey, the first few PoCs in the programme should be successful and in areas that will help obtain organisational visibility. An initial success that gets attention of the enterprise helps the centre become acquainted to the idea of innovation. It creates the traction necessary to encourage employees to think outside of their BAU purview and enter the new era of disruption. While choosing the first few PoCs, the following characteristics could be considered: • Horizontal and vertical relevance across organisation • Possibility to finish in a short duration • Having headquarter visibility and a strong sponsorship anchor, with a positive business case outlook • Ample start-up options • Quantifiable envisioned results The element of ‘co-creation’ is critical in an open innovation initiative, with clarity on the interdependencies and roles of each party. The development team can be structured in a way to ensure every member gets to contribute their unique skills. A successful PoC programme occurs at the juncture of right domain knowledge, tech expertise, and agile ways of working. The operating model should facilitate mentorship by SMEs on domain knowledge while using the right technology and start-ups’ agility. For a GCC, the critical success factor to deliver a successful PoC through start- ups is a fine balance between control and harnessing a start-up’s creativity. In these scenarios, the centre is not trying to solve a standard problem with a standard solution through a ‘run of the mill’ vendor. Although GCCs may want to drive the PoC development, there are merits in giving start-ups their space. The PoC programme concludes with ‘Demo Day’, where start-ups and GCC team members showcase the developed solution to a larger audience. This audience may include top management from headquarters and the GCC. Based on the results, the management takes a decision on the way forward with start-ups. Measuring results The solution development phase should have an optimal level of governance that seeks continuous results while providing the desired level of flexibility. This also calls for a tectonic cultural shift – a culture that acknowledges failure as an option and agile iterations as a way of life. This is why scoping the PoC becomes critical – choosing a scope of work that is large enough to show success and small enough to fail. This does not necessitate that open innovation initiatives be carried out without predetermined quantifiable targets. Targets may be established on a portfolio and not on an individual project.. To assess the value add of the open innovation initiative (in general, and the performance of a portfolio in specific), a GCC can measure two sets of targets – ones that lead to innovation and the others that are generated as a result of innovation (Figure 7). Scale ‘Demo Day’ marks the end of one development cycle and the beginning of the next. While the whole course Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres
  • 11. 11 Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres is repeated all over again with new problems and start-ups, the PoCs of the last cycle are evaluated for large-scale implementation. A PoC project works on a small portion of a solution to determine if the solution in its entirety will be feasible. The PoC thus developed undergoes rounds of feasibility analysis to assess its horizontal and vertical applicability, long-term viability, and business case. If the solution turns out to be feasible, the GCC can initiate scaling under a defined ‘Exit to Scale’ model. Otherwise, the GCC may go back to the problem, and explore a new and better approach to solution. Getting to this phase defines the intent and success of this model in the eyes of the parent organisation. Ability to scale from a PoC is the last mile that differentiates focus from enthusiasm. Getting this act together is the only means to graduate to the far end of the spectrum – ‘sustained open innovation’. Exit to scale Once a PoC is considered feasible to scale, a GCC can begin planning the implementation route. Each solution comes with a distinct applicability, leading to varying resource Figure 8: Exit to scale framework Planning Execution Stabilization Stakeholder/s alignment Project onboarding and solution approach/ architecture finalisation Establish a governance structure Infrastructure requirement finalisation Finalise budget/funding requirements Solution transfer to scale team Review and approvals Governance progress meeting Hyper-care support Any open/pending documentation Technical support requirements and risk assumption. The planning stage lays out the procedure, dependencies, budgets, governance, and other requirements around which the PoC project has to be scaled. The start-up’s ability to scale needs to be assessed upfront so that the organisation’s scaling intent is addressed. Bootstrap start-ups working with a small team might not be able to keep pace with the GCC’s execution strategy. Such cases may require start-ups or the GCCs build execution partnerships that can address scalability challenges. A quick and agile execution assists in incremental delivery in phases and a continued momentum. User feedback can then be used to stabilise and optimise the output and keep updating it per the requirements (Figure 8) Exit to scale must not be perceived as an end. It is merely another step in the GCC’s transformation journey. These scaling projects may need to be immediately followed by an operating model change as these implementations can (and should) have an impact across organisation that will call for changes in the current state of business. Foundation An innovation initiative is a synergetic aggregation of multiple steps Infra The physical and technological infrastructure at a GCC forms the sandbox within which PoCs are developed. As a measure to accelerate the development process, GCCs may need to consider broad infrastructural requirements essential to achieve the initiative’s objectives and integrate those in the centre. While every problem may have a differing set of requirements, some common infrastructure elements include the following: • A separate innovation space to be built to serve as the control centre and collaboration area • Servers, storage, and computer systems to be used in development if the requirement is on-prem • A common software platform with front-end for users and back-end for leadership and innovation core team • Any industry-specific tools and technology that will enable development of prototypes Data The majority of the emerging technologies, such as AI and analytics,
  • 12. have heavy data requirements (big data in some cases). Keeping other factors constant, higher the quality and quantity of data, better the solution that is generated. A data strategy forms the backbone of an innovation initiative at a GCC. At its core, a data strategy is how a GCC plans to organise, manage, and use its data as an asset. Making the right data available for the PoC and start-ups is a critical success factor. People While a GCC can have external partners for ecosystem scanning, an in-house innovation core team is required to direct the innovation initiative. This team receives guidance from the GCC head and senior business leadership, ensuring visibility and a flow of top-down culture of change and innovation. Eventually, this team should become a part of the extended corporate innovation office. The core team manages overall governance of the open innovation initiative. It works closely with the corporate innovation team and leadership to lay the GCC’s innovation vision and create a demand pipeline. While the team runs operational activities, such as start-up scouting, SoW building, and PoC management, the more strategic roles for this team involve anticipating barriers to change and taking measures to reduce their impact. These measures include tailored immersion programmes at different layers of the enterprise, providing working guidelines, start-up workshops, and 360 degree feedback. Brand Running PoC projects in silos may result in pockets of innovation within GCC. To have a structure that facilitates an all-inclusive cultural change, continuous efforts beyond PoCs may be required to run the programme more holistically. Branding plays a critical role, and helps build and sustain the momentum of the programme.

  • 13. 13 Accelerating innovation at Global Capability Centres Conclusion A GCC is strategically positioned to co-create the future of operations for the enterprise. It is a microcosm of the larger business with well-entrenched operations. It has location advantages and can deliver at scale and low cost. Hence, it is an ideal testing bed to find something that is large enough to experiment and small enough to fail. Bringing together a GCC and start-ups can only accelerate innovation. GCCs in India have already started using start-up community to expedite their transformation progression. Sustained open innovation does not lie on far side of the journey anymore. References 1.
