ANSR and HFS Research have announced a strategic partnership to launch “GCC Quotient” (GQ), a research and strategic framework designed to define, measure, and benchmark how enterprises build and evolve Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in an AI-driven world.
Focus on AI-Driven GCC Transformation
The initiative aims to bring greater clarity, consistency, and evidence-based insights to the rapidly evolving GCC landscape as Global Capability Centers become increasingly central to enterprise transformation and innovation.
The partnership will produce joint thought leadership reports, strategic frameworks, and GCC success stories to help enterprise leaders better understand and scale their GCC operations.
Addressing GCC Industry Fragmentation
According to the companies, the GCC industry currently lacks a unified definition and consistent framework, creating ambiguity for enterprises navigating AI-led transformation.
The collaboration between ANSR and HFS Research aims to establish:
- A unified GCC definition
- A clear GCC evolution framework
- An AI-era roadmap for enterprise capability centers
Launch of GCC Quotient (GQ) Framework
The GCC Quotient framework is designed to assess how enterprises are building and extracting value from GCCs across areas such as:
- Strategy
- Talent
- AI adoption
- Operating model evolution
- Enterprise value creation
The initiative combines HFS Research’s demand-side intelligence with ANSR’s operational experience in building and scaling GCCs.
AI Readiness and Enterprise Guidance
As part of the collaboration, the organizations will also introduce an AI readiness blueprint that provides actionable guidance for enterprises looking to reposition and modernize GCCs for AI-driven transformation.
The partnership will additionally showcase GCC success stories and deliver demand-side research on how enterprises are making GCC strategy decisions.
Leadership Perspective
Vikram Ahuja, Co-founder of ANSR, stated that AI is fundamentally reshaping how GCCs operate, how work is distributed, and the skills enterprises require.
Saurabh Gupta, President of HFS Research, said the partnership aims to provide enterprises with a unified and credible roadmap for the future of the GCC model in an AI-driven environment.
