Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data

Well, perhaps we should not be surprised that the Senate has taken notice of the practice of offshoring. With all the worry about foreign workers taking American jobs, it was only a matter of time before the use of temporary work visas (H-1Bs) was investigated. It appears that someone suspects that foreign workers are being brought in, trained, and then sent back home to do the work on the cheap! Or they are brought in to work more cheaply here when American workers are available! Indian firms seem to be unusually aggressive in obtaining temporary work visas.
Legislation has been introduced to make changes, so if you use offshore teams, you better monitor this issue. And take a hard look at your practices (and how they might be construed). We’ll keep you updated.
Oh, and remember, loss of job to outsourcing/offshoring is the single greatest fear of American IT workers. They will move from your project to where they feel more secure.
