Business Issue
Corporations must consider a myriad of
issues that begin with a clear business need before they decide,
plan and implement outsourcing successfully.
- Is outsourcing a solution?
- How do we evaluate processes to outsource?
- Should we consider offshore outsourcing?
- What can we outsource?
- How do we outsource?
- What are the challenges?
- What about vendor evaluation?
- How do we maintain strong relationships with the provider?
These are some of the questions that need
to be answered with thoughtful and sometimes detailed planning and
training.
Workshop Overview
Outsourcing Fundamentals provides an
in-depth look at outsourcing. This workshop can be used as the
systematic framework for deciding and introducing the outsourcing
initiative or as a rigorous assessment of an ongoing outsourcing
initiative. Outsourcing Fundamentals lays the foundation of
successful outsourcing or may be your road to outsourcing success.
As LogicaCMG says below, today’s organization cannot afford
not to educate its employees in outsourcing.
“Competitiveness
is the goal of organizations when they decide to outsource part of
their
operations. During the 1980s, outsourcing was about tactical
and immediate solutions.
A decision to outsource specific functions such as payroll or food
services was about
doing the same for less cost. During the 1990s outsourcing became
strategic, with
suppliers becoming business partners. Now we are seeing a move
towards combining
domain knowledge and outsourcing expertise to bring innovation,
business change and
improved competitiveness. “
