Kuala Lumpur/Bangkok/Singapore , May 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As India continues to cement its reputation as the global capital for Global Capability Centers (GCCs), a new strategic imperative is emerging—cultural integration. While talent, technology, and cost arbitrage remain key, it is the cultural maturity of these centers that now determines enterprise-wide success.In a groundbreaking new whitepaper, SRKay Consulting Group makes a compelling case for why cultural intelligence must be embedded into the operational core of every GCC. Their research reveals a clear business truth: culture is no longer a soft metric—it is a measurable, high-ROI performance driver."Embedding cultural intelligence is no longer a peripheral initiative—it’s a strategic lever that powers agility, R&D effectiveness, and global alignment across mature GCCs in India."— Santosh Panicker, Chief Operating Officer, SRKay Consulting GroupGCCs Are Evolving—But Culture Is LaggingToday’s GCCs are innovation centers, managing high impact workstreams in AI, advanced analytics, and digital transformation. Yet despite this strategic evolution, many centers still struggle with the hidden costs of cultural misalignment—delayed decision-making, compliance breakdowns, communication issues, and talent attrition.SRKay’s study, which surveyed 301 leaders across C-suite, engineering, and HR functions, found:- 60% of Tech & IT leaders report compliance delays due to governance models misaligned with local culture.- 65% of aviation GCCs face productivity bottlenecks from clashes between global standardization and regional work styles.- 55–60% of engineering heads cite persistent execution hurdles caused by poor cultural synergy.Introducing the 5-Stage Cultural Maturity ModelTo tackle these gaps, SRKay proposes a 5-Stage Cultural Maturity Model, guiding GCCs from reactive problem-solving to fully institutionalized cultural fluency. The model aligns with frameworks such as Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and Trompenaars’ Model, enabling GCCs to diagnose and address issues around hierarchy, communication styles, decision-making, and feedback protocols.This shift, SRKay argues, transforms culture from an HR initiative into a business-critical operating system.“GCCs in India now function as strategic enablers, collaborating directly with global teams on breakthrough projects.” — Darshil Dholakia, Director of Business Operations, SRKay Consulting GroupFrom Metrics to Meaning: Operationalizing CultureMature GCCs are already embedding culture into dashboards and governance scorecards:- Cross-Team Collaboration Index: Quality of interaction between HQ and GCCs- Resolution Turnaround Time: Speed of resolving culturally driven issues- Culture NPS: Sentiment on inclusion and trustThese metrics are bolstered by AI-driven tools—sentiment intelligence, immersive VR learning for leadership alignment, and cultural playbooks embedded in collaboration platforms.“Mature GCCs in India use culture as a source of operational excellence and innovation. Embedding culture transforms it into a competitive differentiator.” — Alok Kumar, Founder & Managing Director, SRKay Consulting GroupCulture-Led Growth: The Future of GCCs in IndiaBy 2030, India’s GCC market is expected to reach USD 110 billion. This growth won’t be driven by headcount alone—but by how effectively centers adopt cross-cultural collaboration, AI-enabled integration, and inclusive leadership.“The next generation of GCCs in India will be led by executives who view cultural competence not as an HR initiative—but as a core business driver.” — Vivek Dubey, Head of Strategic Consulting, SRKay Consulting GroupDownload the Whitepaper NowUnlocking the Full Potential of GCCs: The Strategic Power of Cultural IntegrationAbout SRKay Consulting GroupSRKay Consulting Group is a global consulting firm that helps companies expand into emerging markets like India through data-led strategies, market entry advisory, and operational consulting.

CYBERJAYA, MALAYSIA, May 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) today announced several new initiatives in support of the Government of Malaysia's efforts to upskill and grow local talent and foster diversity in the nation's fast growing cybersecurity sector. To mark the 12-month anniversary of the Malaysia Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE), BlackBerry is providing scholarships for cybersecurity training to numerous women cyber-defenders, people with limited access to education and qualifications, as well as university lecturers and students.At a ceremony and open day in Cyberjaya today, BlackBerry also revealed it will soon be introducing EC Council Learning, an enhanced cybersecurity skill development platform to expand the CCoE's comprehensive curriculum with self-paced learning model for Malaysian Government employees, helping more men and women to complete courses in their own time. The hybrid cybersecurity program, featuring online and in-person modules, is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.Just over a year ago, Malaysia envisioned the Malaysia Cybersecurity Center of Excellence as a global hub for workforce training, skill development and intelligence-sharing. Today, through partnerships with BlackBerry, ASEAN and global leaders, the nation is advancing this mission-equipping Malaysians with critical cyber-skills to boost capacity, inclusivity and defense against digital threats.Over 40% of attendees at the Malaysia CCoE last year were women, reflecting positive diversity in the nation's cybersecurity sector. To build on this progress and create more opportunities for all, BlackBerry is expanding its partnership with the ISC2 Malaysia Chapter to offer 50 scholarships for Malaysian women to access specialized training at the CCoE. The flexible program will include in-person and online courses from June to July 2025, with recruitment starting this month. In addition, BlackBerry is working with 42KL, a tuition-free, self-paced computer science academy, to sponsor 25 CompTIA ITF+ certifications for individuals with limited access to traditional education opportunities.This news follows the recently announced partnership with Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) to launch the CyberNext Program, a national initiative designed to equip Malaysian students and educators with essential cybersecurity skills. In Phase One of the partnership, BlackBerry and TalentCorp, together with training partners ISC2 and CompTIA, are offering free cybersecurity training for 1,000 students and 250 lecturers at the world-class facility, commencing from July.Senior Vice President for BlackBerry Secure Communications in APAC, Tash Stamatelos said, "In collaboration with the Government of Malaysia, we are proud to witness the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE) thrive in its first year-strengthening partnerships, expanding programs, and offering scholarships that help to build digital human capital and support diversity in the cybersecurity sector. As a hub for learning, training, and collaboration, the CCoE is laying a strong foundation for cross-border and cross-sector engagement, advancing Malaysia's ambition to lead in cybersecurity excellence across ASEAN."Jodi Robinson, High Commissioner of Canada to Malaysia, said "In late 2024, the Government of Canada pledged a $3.9M CAD investment in cybersecurity skills training programs at the Malaysia CCoE, to be implemented by the Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst and BlackBerry - a clear example of Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy in action. On this first anniversary, I commend the progress the Malaysian Government, BlackBerry, and its partners are making at the CCoE in addressing the critical shortage of cyber skills and advancing diversity in the sector. I look forward to the CCoE developing into a hub of regional cybersecurity excellence in Southeast Asia."For more information on the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and the courses available, please visit here.
