The Hidden Friction Blocking Scale – A Soroco Illuminate Leadership Study
As global enterprises continue to recalibrate for speed, resilience, and innovation, Global Capability Centers (GCCs) find themselves thrust into new roles — not just as engines of efficiency, but as hubs for operational excellence, AI acceleration, and talent innovation.
To understand how prepared GCCs are to deliver on AI and Automation mandates, Soroco surveyed 132 GCC leaders across India and the United States in 2025.
The goal was simple: take a real-time pulse of where operational initiatives are succeeding, where friction persists, and which areas lack visibility.
