Overview

Outsourcing Improved-A Guide to Smarter, More Dynamic Solutions

Over the last decade, the number of services that can be outsourced has grown exponentially. Yet research suggests that 50 percent of outsourcing contracts signed during the last three years will fail to meet expectations.

Gartner sourcing experts Linda Cohen, and Allie Young argue that this is because most organizations are utilizing ad-hoc approaches to outsourcing that are both short-sighted and ineffective. Based on extensive, multiyear research, this book unveils a new operational model-multisourcing-that seamlessly blends internally and externally delivered services not just to cut costs or gain efficiencies, but to maximize growth, agility, and bottom-line results.

Through practical frameworks and illustrative company examples, the authors guide managers in creating a customized plan for managed multisourcing, including how to: assess their current sourcing strategy, strike the right types of sourcing deals, set up effective governance systems, select and evaluate service providers, and measure progress.

A new approach to a timely business issue from leading experts in the field, Multisourcing presents a roadmap managers can follow to position their firms as tomorrow's industry leaders.

    Multisourcing: Moving beyond Outsourcing to Achieve Growth and Agility

    Unfortunately, As an outsourcing executive (buyer organization), I was hoping that this would have really brought forward some fresh ideas and innovative strategies. Its not here and we, as a corporation, will not be buying the bulk order we previously placed after previewing the final book.

    Multisourcing: Moving beyond Outsourcing to Achieve Growth and Agility

    Disappointing Rehash of anything relevant that has ever been written and published on outsourcing and already in bookstores. If you own recent books on outsourcing, my suggestion is to save your money and don't buy this copy cat version. I am sorry I pre-ordered the book without looking at it first in a bookstore.

    Couldn't Find the 'Roadmap' in This Book

    The solution suggested isn't so easy to find. I can't recommend this book if you're seeking the hands-on, clear and guided solution to outsourcing's complexities. It's too tough to get through and feel like you're getting a 'roadmap'.

    Way too High Brow, Not enough Actionable Information

    Multisourcing is not for the beginner, intermediary or new executive to outsourcing. I tucked it away and got out primers I use routinely for outsourcing initiatives here at our organization. This one is a next level read on the subject but won't leave you any less confused unless you are a top level project manager. The rest of the business world can find better outsourcing book choices, I agree as well.
