Overview

Years on, outsourcing continues to be trendy, popular and pursued by many organizations. Partly because it’s a way to theoretically get work done without headcount, which it can be. Also theoretically because its cheaper and more efficient, which it often isn’t.

The scope of many projects includes looking at—or actually transferring—business practices and capabilities to other organizations. This is not without its risks and pitfalls. Success, if it is to be attained, requires an eyes-wide-open critical look at what problem is trying to be solved, what solutions are possible and what terms are reasonable.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly takes a critical look at outsourcing and how to make it work for your organization. He’ll explore why organizations seek to take advantage of outsourcing, and how outsourcers seek to take advantage of organizations. You will learn why outsourcing can be useful, when it can be damaging or unhelpful and how to make an objective assessment of the opportunities, costs and risks associated with outsourcing decisions.

If you are being challenged to look at outsourcing alternatives, you are wrestling with the process now, or you are struggling with the legacy of someone else’s decision, this webinar will provide useful, practical guidance that you can apply. Outsource an hour of your time to us, and it will return significant dividends. We promise.
