Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foreword by Thomas H. Davenport, coauthor, What's the Big Idea? and The Attention Economy If you’re looking for a serious infusion of life-blood into your company, transformational outsourcing could be the answer. This new, bold approach is not just about handing off noncore functions in order to cut costs. It’s about transforming the entire operating model -- to boost a company’s stock price, increase its market share, or drive its profitability. Take an organization like National Savings and Investments (NS&I) of Great Britain. It quickly transformed itself from an out-of-step, cumbersome, and ultimately failing institution into a lean, successful market leader in the financial services sector. And it achieved radical organizational change by employing the innovative process of transformational outsourcing. Outsourcing for Radical Change supplies a detailed analysis of the transformation process that happened at NS&I, Thomas Cook, and others, as well as examples of companies that failed to align their transformation initiative with their strategic needs. Based on a major study by Accenture and in-depth interviews by the author, this original, research-based book examines the entire process from a practical, real-world perspective: from selecting your ultimate goal, to mapping out a workable action plan, to navigating the often formidable challenges you’ll face on your quest for radical change. You’ll discover: * 7 questions to help you determine if your business needs transformational outsourcing * 0 essential leadership skills needed to spearhead a change effort * 4 major ways that companies use outsourcing for transformation * 3 critical components for successfully executing transformational outsourcing and building high-commitment relationships * Guidelines for creating a working business model for fulfilling strategic goals * Techniques to help minimize the turmoil of dislocating people * Tips for measuring and rewarding success -- and recognizing and fixing failures In the business world, major change efforts have an abysmally poor track record, with poor execution standing out as the major culprit. By comparison, transformational outsourcing has been highly successful in 17 out of the 20 companies tracked in this groundbreaking book. It brings larger, faster, and more lasting impacts than most people ever expect. And it can be your secret weapon in the struggle to survive and prosper in the 21st century. Many companies use outsourcing for their backend operations. But few have tapped into the truly transformative power of outsourcing its major functions. This groundbreaking book looks at the handful of companies that have led enterprise-wide strategic change efforts using transformational outsourcing. Executives have used it to start up new companies, drive growth, consolidate mature companies, and execute stunning strategic turnaround -- swiftly and successfully in the vast majority of cases. Find out if your company can benefit from this potent new tool!"

The advancement of multi-client centers will create new value. As new low cost centers spring up around the world I want to have easy access to the opportunities.” —Ala n Eilles, CFO Downstream, BP “Outsourcing is not about sitting still. On the one hand, as CFO, you have to be in control, and have the right control mechanisms in place. On the other, this is an evolving relationship where both parties feel empowered and energized to make a real difference in the business.” —John Coghlan, Group Finance Director of Exel “My view of the CFO’s role is relatively simple: How do you add value? The CFO has to be in the forefront in understanding, at a strategic level, the relative economics of different parts of the business model – and vitally play a decisive role in deciding what should be insourced and what should be outsourced.” —Clayton Daley, CFO, Procter & Gamble
Download or read book Managing the People Side of Change written by Gillian Perry and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are great benefits to be gained from outsourcing. Many organisations understand the benefits they can achieve from outsourcing but few manage to realise those benefits in full. So often the root cause of that failure is because they have ignored the people factors that can inhibit change and even derail it. In some cases people may not understand the reasons for the outsource programme, in others people may have reasons of their own for not wanting the change to be successful. Whatever the people side of the change is, all these factors can be successfully managed so companies and staff can fully realise the benefits of outsourcing.Having been involved in successfully managing change in IT Outsourcing over the years, I have gained many insights into the people factors in change management and developed effective strategies and tactics that smooth the way to making an outsource programme successful, starting with, but not limited to, ensuring that the staff involved fully buy in to the process. This book is based on the practical steps that I have put in place to ensure success. Every step identified here is practical and effective and though some of them will seem just good common sense, I do know that in many such programmes they are ignored. Reading this book will give readers some new ideas and also provide them with a straightforward reminder of good practice to help them manage change effectively, engaging the staff and producing a common purpose.In less than an hour's reading, this book identifies the issues, explains how they come about and gives solutions that will eliminate or, at least, mitigate the major problems and provide a firm basis for implementing the changes and creating a stronger business by fully realising the benefits of an outsource programme.
