The decision to use outsourcing<\/a> to improve accountability, reliability and scalability is becoming a strategic boardroom issue.\u00a0 As David Rabson explains in a recent article in the Sunday Telegraph supplement Business Reporter<\/em>\u00a0\u201cBusinesses want to get to their destination quicker.\u00a0They are looking at outsourcing areas that are not necessarily core to the business, but they recognise them as still being critical ingredients to its success.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a company outsources, it drives capacity into other areas of its business, giving people the space to focus on innovation and competitive advantage. It also helps improve its accountability for performance, with greater expectations being placed on the outsourcing provider than would be in its own internal team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest balances from a boardroom perspective is being able to outsource without losing control. If you are working with the right service provider, they should actually be keeping you better informed and give you more control. The decision to outsource can halve your journey time.\u201d<\/p>\n

For businesses planning or undergoing rapid changes, outsourcing improves the speed (and often quality) of execution. \u201cWe see complex transformational projects that might take 18 months to two years with a solely internal team taking nine months to a year having outsourced.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Rabson warns outsourcing is not the silver bullet to something that may be underinvested and poorly operated to start with \u2013 it does not right all of those wrongs. A company might need to go through a stage of transition and transformation with the service provider to achieve the full potential of outsourcing.<\/p>\n

Another important point to consider when choosing an outsourcer is the cultural fit between the client business and their other service providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat can sometimes be missed by the larger outsource providers servicing mid-sized organisations. They have one set of rigid processes that they adhere to, which do not necessarily always work in smaller, more dynamic\u00a0 businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
