Outsourcing is essentially a strategic approach. Although the decision to outsource may be driven by a goal of reducing costs, expanding service provision to customers to smooth out fluctuations in demand or provide extended cover, it is about the need to make more efficient and effective use of labour, capital, technology and resources.

Aimed at Enterprises either considering outsourcing for the first time or wishing to review their current provision, this pair of Master Class seminars will address the key issues and look at case studies of those with experience of service provision in the outsourcing ‘industry’.
