At SMC Squared, we provide a strategic solution through the development of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), which empower organizations to: Access specialized talent pools -Accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies -Sustain competitive advantage in a rapidly changing landscape -By leveraging GCCs, companies can effectively align their talent strategies with technological advancements, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation.

We’re proud to support Elevate in its journey, ensuring that its global team is set up for long-term success. Because when a GCC truly embodies the company it represents, it becomes a powerful driver of innovation and transformation. #GCC #Innovation #GlobalTalent #CompanyCulture #StrategicPartnership #SMCSquared #ElevateGlobal Elevate Global

Recently, our CEO, Patricia Connolly, PhD, had the opportunity to connect with fellow technology leaders at the SIMDFW Spring Social—a gathering of some of the brightest minds in IT and business leadership. These events serve as an important reminder: while technology is evolving rapidly, the real challenge CIOs face isn’t just about adopting new tech—it’s about aligning people, processes, and strategy for real impact. At SMC Squared, we hear these same priorities in our conversations with CIOs every day: -How do we scale high-performing global teams to keep pace with innovation? - How can organizations leverage AI, automation, and digital transformation without disrupting operations? -What leadership strategies are most effective in driving transformation? Building Global Capability Centers (GCCs) isn’t just about reducing costs—it’s about accessing the right talent, building long-term capabilities, and ensuring alignment with enterprise goals. These are the conversations we love having with CIOs as they prepare for the future of work. #SIMDFW #TechnologyLeadership #CIO #GlobalTalent #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #SMCSquared

The future of enterprise innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about having the right strategy to scale, adapt, and lead. At this week's HMG Strategy Dallas CIO Executive Leadership Summit, top technology leaders will explore the Enterprise 2030 Supercycle—a period of rapid innovation, disruption, and reinvention fueled by Gen AI, automation, and emerging technologies. As enterprises embrace this transformation, the question isn’t just how to implement new technologies—it’s also about how to structure and scale global teams to maximize their impact. At SMC Squared, we partner with organizations to build and optimize Global Capability Centers (GCCs) that enable cost-effective innovation and long-term success. As technology leaders prepare for this next wave of disruption, we ask: How is your organization evolving its talent strategy to meet the demands of Enterprise 2030? #GenAI #DigitalTransformation #GCC #GlobalTalent #CIO #HMGStrategy #SIMDallas #SMCSquared SIMDFW Hunter Muller
