Offshoring & Outsourcing

When outsourcing is done domestically, it gets little media attention.  Send those same roles to a different country (offshoring) or to a different company altogether (outsourcing) and just watch them line up to throw some mud at you.  Why is that?

The truth is outsourcing can be great for your business.

In either case it can make very solid business sense.  Both options provide for a very fast and large-scale change in the short term running costs for your business.  It can also help with the overall risk profile of your organisation.  We can help you create your communication strategy and avoid the mud-slinging that often goes hand-in-hand with offshoring and outsourcing projects.

Domestic or international outsourcing, which is best for you?

We can help you learn about the best options for your business and all the tasks that flow from this including:

  • creating your strategy 
  • assessing the logistics of international or regional locations
  • advising on business partnership strategy 

Once this “big picture” work is done, we can also help you with the program management work of implementation by:

  • creating a program methodology to ensure successful transition of work to a different location/provider.
  • this includes documentation of expectations and commitments given to achieve the desired business outcomes.

Getting the rollout right
