Beyond ESG Compliance. How companies can turn sustainability into business value
2026/10/27
How can companies move beyond ESG reporting and turn sustainability into a genuine business advantage? And what role can Poland play in the global sustainability transformation? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I explore these questions with Joanna Tomczyk, Sustainability Advisory Manager at Clearsulting. Together, we discuss the evolution of ESG and corporate sustainability, examining why collecting data and meeting regulatory requirements should be only the beginning of a much broader business transformation. Joanna shares her perspective on the differences between ESG reporting and sustainability strategy, explaining how companies can use non-financial KPIs to make better decisions, improve operational efficiency and understand the real impact of their business activities. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: •         ESG reporting vs. corporate sustainability strategy and why the distinction matters. •         How CSRD has influenced corporate sustainability reporting and data collection. •         Why non-financial KPIs are essential for understanding business performance. •         The challenges of collecting, validating and controlling ESG data across organisations. •         How process mapping, standardisation and automation can improve sustainability reporting. •         Why leadership, governance and change management are crucial for successful ESG transformation. •         How AI and automation are changing sustainability processes. •         Poland's potential to become a global centre for sustainability advisory, reporting and expertise. •         The evolving role of Global Business Services (GBS) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in sustainability. We also explore why sustainability should be embedded in everyday business operations rather than treated as a standalone reporting exercise. From greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption to employee retention and customer satisfaction, the right indicators can help organisations connect sustainability objectives with business performance. For me, one of the key takeaways from this conversation is that reliable ESG reporting starts with understanding what really matters to a business. When sustainability data becomes part of the decision-making process, reporting can evolve from a compliance obligation into a valuable management tool. If you work in business services, finance, ESG, sustainability, consulting or corporate transformation, this episode offers practical insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of sustainable business.   Useful links: Joanna Tomczyk on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joasiatomczyk/ Clearsulting Sustainability page - https://www.clearsulting.com/services/sustainability/ **************************** My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Why Lebanon and the Levant could be the next outsourcing destination
2026/10/14
Hi! Hello! What makes the Middle East an interesting destination for outsourcing, and why should businesses look beyond traditional locations such as India, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and Latin America? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I travel from Warsaw to Miami to talk with Fayez Nicolas Chaar, Founder of OEG Outsourcing, about the opportunities, challenges and untapped potential of the Levant region in the global outsourcing market. Fayez shares the story behind his entrepreneurial journey, from building an online tutoring platform that attracted more than 10,000 students in six months to creating an outsourcing business powered by a growing international community of professionals. Today, OEG Outsourcing connects businesses with talent across Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan, supporting companies with a wide range of services. During our conversation, we explore how the economic crisis in Lebanon created new opportunities for international outsourcing, why the region's education system and multilingual talent pool can be valuable assets, and how companies can access skilled professionals while managing costs. We also discuss the importance of communication, cultural compatibility, recruitment, employee retention and service quality in outsourcing partnerships. Fayez explains how OEG Outsourcing works with international clients and addresses operational challenges, including electricity, internet connectivity and regional instability. Can the Levant become a more recognised destination for business process outsourcing (BPO), customer service, virtual assistance, IT and other business services? Join me for a conversation about entrepreneurship, talent acquisition, global business services and the future of outsourcing beyond traditional markets.

How Raya CX Is Building Its European BPO and Customer Experience Business
2026/09/22
Hi! Hello! In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I take you to Egypt and Poland to talk about the development of Raya CX with Sherif Kamel, General Manager & Proxy to the Board at Raya CX Europe. We discuss the story behind Raya CX, its roots in Raya Holding, and the company’s evolution from an internal call center into an international BPO and customer experience organization with around 10,000 employees, 15 sites and operations across eight countries. A major part of our conversation focuses on Poland. Raya entered the Polish market in 2014 and launched operations in 2016. Today, Poland plays an important role in the company’s European strategy, particularly when it comes to advanced technical capabilities, IT outsourcing, technical support and multilingual operations. Sherif explains how Raya combines different delivery locations, including Poland and Egypt, to support customers across Europe, the United States and the Nordic countries. We also explore Raya CX’s portfolio, covering hosting, ITO, HR and finance outsourcing, consulting, offshoring, nearshoring and local outsourcing. We talk about multilingual customer support, the importance of combining local talent with international language capabilities, and why Poland can offer strong value for money when advanced skills are required. Looking ahead, Sherif shares Raya CX’s plans for further expansion in Central and Eastern Europe, including potential partnerships or acquisitions. We also discuss how artificial intelligence could transform basic customer service while creating new opportunities for advanced Tier 2 and Tier 3 technical support. This is a conversation about BPO, CX, AI, nearshoring, offshoring, multilingual operations and the future of business services in Europe.

GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 What to Expect from the Executive Leadership Conference
2026/09/15
Hi! Hello! What does the next decade of Global Business Services look like? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I talk to Michał Bielawski, Managing Partner and CFO at Adaptive Solutions & Advisory Group, about the upcoming GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 – Executive Senior Leadership Conference, taking place in Łódź. This is the second edition of an event created specifically for GBS leaders and senior professionals who want to discuss the future of the industry from a practical business perspective. Rather than focusing on traditional conference panels, the event is designed around real experience, business cases and open discussions between professionals. During our conversation, Michał walks me through the conference concept and its key topics. The agenda covers strategy, transformation, operations, technology, artificial intelligence and future capabilities. We discuss how technology can change GBS operating models, how transformation is being implemented in today's organizations, and how AI may reshape processes and the way GBS teams work. Another important theme is the relationship between GBS and the core business. We talk about how GBS organizations can move beyond traditional standardized processes and become increasingly connected with areas such as R&D, finance, procurement and more sophisticated business operations. The conference brings together GBS leaders from major international organizations, creating an opportunity to share perspectives, lessons learned and practical experience. The format also includes live audience sessions, encouraging participants to actively contribute to the discussions. If you work in Global Business Services, Shared Services, transformation, operations, technology or AI, this conversation gives you a preview of what to expect from GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 and why this event is worth having on your radar.   Links: GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 – Executive Senior Leadership Conference - https://app.evenea.pl/event/GBSfortheNEXTDECADEvol2 Michał Bielawski on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-bielawski-5505b53/     ****************************   My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Leading Multicultural Teams: Global Leadership Lessons from Peter Ochman
2026/08/12
Welcome back to Good Morning BSS World podcast! What does it take to lead large, international and multicultural organizations effectively? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I talk with Peter Ochman, Executive Advisor to Boards and Executive Leadership Teams, about global leadership, transformation, cultural diversity and the human side of running international businesses. Born in Poland and raised in Australia, Peter has built a global career working with large organizations across technology, banking, insurance, consulting and other industries. His experience includes leading complex transformations and international teams across Europe, Asia and other regions. The conversation explores the real challenges of managing multicultural and multinational teams. How should leaders deal with different communication styles, cultural expectations and approaches to hierarchy? How can organizations build trust, respect and integrity across borders? And what can leaders do when cultural differences create misunderstandings or conflict? Peter also shares practical examples from his global leadership experience, including working with teams in countries such as South Korea, Kenya, Japan, Germany and Poland. One of the key messages is that diversity should not simply be tolerated, it can make organizations stronger, more adaptable and better prepared for change. We also discuss leadership development, talent, AI and the future of work. Peter explains why leaders should focus less on the technology itself and more on the business impact technology can create. His advice for emerging leaders is equally practical: surround yourself with great people, embrace opportunities before you feel completely ready, hire for potential and stay curious. A conversation about global business leadership, transformation, multicultural teams, diversity, trust and the human impact of technology.

OWS26 in Chicago – we were there
2026/05/07
Hello! Wiktor Doktór here. In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I’m joined by Marcin Grzegory from Invest in Pomerania to discuss the latest global trends from OWS26 in Chicago and the incredible growth of the Tri-City business ecosystem. What is the future of Global Business Services (GBS) and Global Capability Centers (GCC)? In this episode, we sit down with Marcin Grzegory, Deputy Director at Invest in Pomerania, fresh from the OWS 26 Summit organized by IAOP in Chicago. We break down the three massive trends dominating the industry today: the pervasive influence of AI, the evolution of GBS into sophisticated GCCs, and the rising importance of global compliance and talent. Key highlights of this episode include:The Chicago Connection: Reflections on OWS 26 and how Poland stood out on the global stage alongside nations like Ghana.Pomerania’s 30-Year Evolution: How the region grew from a few thousand employees to a powerhouse of over 45,000 professionals in business services and technology.The "Iwona" Story: Did you know Amazon’s Alexa was born in Poland? We discuss the local roots of global tech giants like Amazon, Intel, and Boeing.Beyond Cost Arbitrage: Why investors choose Poland not just for price, but for high-level problem-solving abilities, quality, and proficiency.Invest in Pomerania: Learn how this "local concierge" helps international investors navigate the Polish market and build successful operations.Whether you are an investor, a business leader, or curious about the BPO/GBS ecosystem, this conversation provides deep insights into why the Tri-City (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot) remains a top-tier destination for the world’s biggest brands.   Links: IAOP – https://www.iaop.org/ OWS26 – https://www.iaop.org/Content/23/174/5951 Invest in Pomerania – https://followtheleaders.pl/investinpomerania/ Follow the Leaders – https://followtheleaders.pl/en Pro Progressio - https://proprogressio.com/en/   ****************************   My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Beyond the FTE - Modern Outsourcing Strategies
2026/04/17
In this episode of the BSS World Podcast, I sit down with Grzegorz Baran from Transcom to discuss the shifting landscape of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Global Business Services (GBS). As we navigate 2026, the traditional model of focusing solely on FTE costs and facilities is no longer enough to ensure business stability. Key Insights from This Episode:Geopolitics & Risk: Why the "elephant in the room" can no longer be ignored. We explore how global conflicts and regional instabilities impact site selection and business continuity.The Rise of Friendshoring: Discover why companies are moving toward hybrid models and "friendshoring" to mitigate risks associated with single-location dependencies.Legal & Security Complexities: From the nuances of GDPR across different European borders to the necessity of cybersecurity certifications and penetration testing.Culture & Context: Why cultural alignment is crucial for Customer Experience (CX) and why certain processes are returning to Europe from traditional offshore hubs.The Polish Advantage: An analysis of why Poland and CEE remain powerhouses in the sector due to efficiency, high education standards, and cultural proximity to the Nordic and German markets.ESG in the RFP Process: Understanding how carbon footprint and sustainability have become non-negotiable factors for modern global partners.As Grzegorz says in our talk - "Business should be separated from geopolitics... that was the universal model we worked in for years. In my opinion, it is no longer like that."   ****************************   My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Employing foreigners with Foundever
2026/02/02
I have a pleasure to work with CX industry since late 90s of previous century. I remember the times when first call contact centres were built in Poland and started to grow. Now, in 2026, the CX industry is very well developed and supports clients from all around the World. To do so it is crucial to employ foreigners and also local people with language skills. Few years ago I have met managers from Foundever company, a global organization who provides CX services from many countries. They are also present in Poland in few locations and employ people of over 80 nationalities. How does the recruitment of foreigners look like? What needs to be taken into consideration? Is it easier to recruit German speaking person or perhaps someone who speaks other languages? Those and many more questions I asked Danuta, Manzura and Oskar from Foundever Poland. Grab a coffee and listen how employing foreigners looks like. Enjoy listening.

Value vs Price with Maggi Dewedar
2026/01/27
Value vs Price with Maggi Dewedar Value or a price or perhaps I should say Value vs. Price - this is a question!? It's common for businesses to base their selection of an outsourcing partner on price. But is this always the right approach? Is the lowest price the final price, or is it something that will soon be revealed—hidden costs? And how does the value of the service fit into this? What should you consider, what should you pay attention to, and how should you create and develop the process of selecting an outsourcing partner? I asked these and many other questions to Maggi Dewedar from enable, a company that has been supporting its clients in the CX BPO sector for years. Enjoy listening.

Venezuela crisis, Colombian wages and AI - a reality check for LATAM BPO & GBS
2026/01/07
In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I return to Latin America for our regular monthly update on the BPO and GBS industry, and I am joined once again by my good friend and LATAM expert, Mauricio Velasquez. Based on most recent Venezuela’s crisis our conversation begins with a timely look at this country – a country that historically played a significant role in regional shared services and IT operations, and which may or not once again attract attention in the coming years. Without diving too deep into politics, we focus on business realities, talent availability, and the long-term potential of Venezuelan professionals both at home and across the region. We then move to one of the hottest topics impacting nearshoring decisions today: labor costs. Mauricio shares his on-the-ground perspective on Colombia’s recent 23% minimum wage increase and explains why this is a major challenge for BPO and GBS providers operating in the country. We discuss how this shift may influence investor decisions, regional competition, and geographic diversification across Latin America. The discussion also touches on AI adoption, bilingual talent availability, and the evolving balance between automation and human-centric service delivery. As always, this episode offers practical insights, real numbers, and honest opinions on where the Latin American BPO and GBS market stands today and where it may be heading next.   Key points of the podcast: Venezuela's potential resurgence as a BPO and IT hub hinges on political stability and the return of skilled Venezuelans to rebuild the business environment.The significant increase in Colombia's minimum wage could impact the country's competitiveness in the BPO sector, potentially shifting business to other Latin American countries with lower labor costs.The key to leveraging AI in the BPO sector lies in combining it with human capabilities, ensuring that technology enhances rather than replaces the workforce.  Links: Mauricio Velasquez on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mavelasquez/ Mauricio’s web page - https://velasquez.co/ Talk to AI about this episode – https://gmbw.onpodcastai.com/episodes/LM5xpXWNtBx/chat   ****************************   My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.
