Vanilla, Chocolate, or Rocky Road: What Flavor of Outsourcing Do You Want?

Buyers can choose from an  array of outsourcing models – and the options are expanding. Unfortunately, the positioning of these alternative models is often unclear and not linked to associated governance and pricing structure decisions. As an industry, outsourcing is still struggling to identify what types of solutions are optimal – as a result, the industry continues to wade through hype-inspired messages.

Everest uses a simplified framework to explain four basic outsourcing models. These models must then be reconciled with the governance model and pricing structure to ensure that all aspects are aligned – thereby setting the stage for capturing the intended value.

Join us for an insightful one hour webinar during which Eric Simonson, Managing Principal of Research at Everest, will describe these four outsourcing solution types, as well as illustrate these solutions in a real world setting. In addition, we will help you:

• Capture value from outsourcing using one of two primary governance models
• Decide which of three primary pricing structures will fit best with your buyer-supplier relationship
• Determine if your buyer-supplier relationship could benefit from active changes to scope, processes, and incentives, which help focus the efforts of the supplier and buyer on the most relevant sources of value

It is important that buyers understand their options.  This webinar will help buyers determine how to capture value from these outsourcing solutions.
