CBBL™ Program

The Certified BPO Business Leader Program (CBBL™) is the world’s first, only, and the most prestigious qualification for heads, CEOs, board members and senior executives of BPO companies. It is an invitation only qualification, awarded to leaders having an exceptional track record of professional accomplishments, industry impact and business growth. Nominations are generated by an expert team from a global list of potential awardees. Professionals can also nominate themselves or their colleagues.

The award of this certification is based on a rigorous, detailed and structured evaluation of nominees’ professional vision & accomplishments; their understanding of complex global issues surrounding excellence in BPO business leadership and their understanding about strategic issues surrounding change, growth and excellence in organizations. Needless to say, CBBL™ qualified professionals can work across multiple business domains and verticals, have excellent command on client-interfacing and industry networking, and have proven over the years that they are well on their way to assume the role of industry thought leaders in the near future.

The History of CBBL™

The Certified BPO Business Leader Program (CBBL™) was the world’s very first certification for BPO leaders across the globe and has, over several years, emerged as the most respected and industry leading professional credential for business heads, CEOs, board members and top management executives of BPO companies worldwide.

The history of the CBBL™ crossed a major milestone when it was approved by the BPCB through its exclusive charter in 2007 for business leaders and CXOs with an eminent professional history of contributions to their organizations, and the entire BPO industry in their region.

BCI introduced the CBBL™ in select countries in 2008 only as an honorary credential and not as a professional certification. In its inaugural phase, the prestigious CBBL™ was awarded by invite-only and a special committee was appointed by the BCI to award the CBBL™ to carefully chosen business leaders of international repute.

In the second quarter of 2009, the CBBL™ was approved as a credential and professional certification and since then all eligible top level BPO professionals have been able to register for it.

In 2014, CBBL™, returned to its original invitation-only policy to retain its exclusivity. The only new change included was the provision for self-nomination and 3rd party nomination.

An outstanding feature of the CBBL™ is that it is awarded after a rigorous evaluation process and exhaustive validation of the professional background of the applicants, and once awarded, it is valid for life.

CBBL

A Credential That Announces Your Class to the World!

And that is why CBBL™ can be earned by only a handful of business leaders. Certification award is based on a rigorous nomination-based evaluation process. Information about the nomination process is available here.
