Good to know
Four stages
Cost centre: does tasks to save money. Capability centre: owns skills and processes. Value centre: owns outcomes for the business. Innovation hub: creates new products and ideas for the group.
Why it matters
Centres that own outcomes attract better talent, keep people longer and get more investment from HQ.
Grow step by step
Pick one or two gaps a year: give India ownership of one product, add an India leader to a global team, link goals to company goals.
Repeat yearly
Take the check with your leadership team each year and compare scores.
