AI GBS & Global Business Services
One front door for the enterprise. The digital-workforce factory.
Phase: Phase 4 — Governed autonomy
Operate shared services as an enterprise control tower and digital-workforce factory: intake, routing, standard execution, queue balance and evidence packaging are agent work; service design, sourcing strategy and control acceptance remain human.

Eleven decomposed sub-functions, each with its own estate rating
Sub-functions
AI GBS & Global Business Services, decomposed
Nobody automates a function. They automate the sub-functions inside it, at different speeds, with different ceilings. Each one carries its own orchestrator, its own human owner, and its own honest limit.
Autonomy ceiling range
66%→93%
The binding constraint here is Global Process Ownership — capped at 66%.
Mining and variant detection are agentic. Mandating one global process overrides local judgment across jurisdictions and needs a human process owner to carry it.
Hire-to-Retire Tower Orchestrator · human owner Tower Lead, Hire-to-Retire
estate rating
Owns payroll transaction work end to end inside AI GBS & Global Business Services. Runs 4 lines across 27 stations, drains the repeatable share into the H2R tower, and holds 3 human gates.
The tower processes at scale with deterministic rules. Payroll disbursement keeps a dual human approval because an error is unrecoverable within the pay cycle.

estate rating
Owns automation work end to end inside AI GBS & Global Business Services. Runs 4 lines across 26 stations, drains the repeatable share into the AI-OPS tower, and holds 4 human gates.

How to read an estate rating
The rating is not a maturity badge. It scores seven control dimensions — control coverage, evidence quality, override discipline, data integrity, recovery readiness, cost transparency, and judgment readiness. Judgment readiness runs deliberately against autonomy: a sub-function that has pushed automation hardest usually scores worst on whether a human could still take the decision back.
