The changes of the past decade — heightened investor requirements, tougher competition, greater regulatory demands, and the increased participation of activist shareholders — have put new pressures on corporate life and, in particular, CEOs. Chief executives are increasingly being asked to account for how they run their companies, including the investments made to support their corporate centers. Driven by this scrutiny, multinational corporations are seeking to meet new requirements for stronger controls to guide their global reach. While executives can now find best practices regarding corporate center design — cost structure, role requirements, outsourcing, and resourcing — the sum of these discrete practices does not necessarily equal the best guidance available on how to maximize the corporate center's contribution to real value. The Conference Board Research Working Group on Corporate Center Design will help its members answer the question: "How can I help my CEO understand, measure, and communicate the value contribution of the corporate center?"
Research working group members should be senior-level executives involved in the design and management of their company’s corporate headquarters. This includes corporate executives from human resources, finance and control, strategic planning, and operations. Executives from functions such as global supply chain, marketing, legal, IT, and research and development may also find the content discussed by the research working group of interest as well.
