Hot Players in Outsourcing Source: BusinessWeek, The Future of Outsourcing
5 Managerial Steps That Pay Off • Go Offshore for the right reasons • Shifting a broken process overseas may not fix it • Choose your model carefully • Could cost more…..(I’ll fix this part) • Get your people on board • Employees and middle managers can make the bold move happen….or stop you in your tracks
5 Managerial Steps That Pay Off • Be prepared to invest time and effort • Often what is lacking in offshore partners is a lot of deep process knowledge • Treat your partners as equals • Telling your partners exactly what to do and how to do it is not conducive to the entire process
Examples • Penske and India’s Genpact • Eli Lilly
