Business Briefing: Outsourcing - Is it time for a Coalition?

Companies outsource to achieve increased flexibility, competence and cost performance. Unfortunately research suggests that 30–40% of outsourcing deals ultimately fail to deliver value. This event assesses the need to transform outsourcing arrangements & fundamentally change the outsourcing construct. We will introduce “The Coalition Concept” and share findings that question conventional approaches. This holistic approach delivers mutual advantage to the contracting parties by looking at outsourcing as a lever beyond cost reduction.
