  1. Communication failures in outsourcing and how to prevent these failures from happening One of the most common complaints about outsourcing is that communication between the client and the service provider can break down, leading to costly mistakes and delays. One of the main reasons that Outsourcing fails is due to communication difficulties between the client and the service provider. Miscommunication can lead to misunderstanding of instructions, and this can often result in subpar work. In order to prevent this from happening, it is important to have clear and concise communication from the start. It is also a good idea to establish a system of regular check-ins so that both parties are on the same page.

This can lead to miscommunication and confusion. - Language barriers: If your service provider does not speak English as their first language, there can be misunderstandings about what is being said. This can lead to errors in the work that is delivered. - Different cultures: There are cultural differences between the client and the service provider which can lead to communication difficulties.
