What is it About

At this full day executive meeting, attendees learn the business, legal and financial dynamics critical to each step of the outsourcing process. With a unique, process-centric format, presenters will examine the best practices used to minimize risks and maximize short & long term benefits on new and existing engagements. Conference delegates will learn about emerging trends shaping outsourcing today and shop solutions offered by best-of-breed service providers.

The Outsourcing Institute’s 2003 Spring Roadshow, Business Transformation Through Outsourcing: Mastering the Process, is designed to demystify the complexity of the outsourcing process by featuring richly developed accounts of successful outsourcing initiatives, serve as a forum for discussion, promote best practices, and demonstrate the measurable benefits of this evolving business model. In program sessions and breakouts, OI will examine the strategic and operational challenges for companies of all sizes whether they are considering outsourcing or, well on their way in the process. Presentations typically fit within one of three topical areas:

  1. Strategy: RFP development, capital structure, transition strategies, planning and budgeting, resource allocation, performance management, alliances and partnering, business risk management, governance and legal issues.
  2. Operations and the outsourcing business tool kit: decision-support, process redesign, program management, infrastructure development, business process outsourcing, value chain information integration, and P&L and total financial management.
  3. Organizational change: leadership, human capital development and/or redeployment, knowledge management, and new skills required.
With OI’s focus on quality and applicability, this conference series will also provide attendees with the tools they need to:
Articulate the difference between core and non-core business functions
Communicate benefits to achieve top-down buy-in
Measure the short & long term benefits of outsourcing
Negotiate the right deal
Create a blueprint for making the partnership work
