IAOP is supported by senior leaders, executives, managers and professionals from around the world who share the vision and expertise it takes to design, implement and manage their companies’ global corporate ecosystems.

At IAOP we believe that the best way to improve outsourcing outcomes is to tap the collective knowledge and insights of its practitioners – the global community of outsourcing professionals. 

Whether you are a customer, provider or advisor, new to outsourcing or an experienced professional, IAOP connects you and your organization to our growing global community and to the resources you need to improve outsourcing outcomes.

The primary reason I joined and continue to participate in IAOP is the access the organization provides to outsourcing subject matter experts and to current best approaches. The content available on IAOP’s website and connections to subject matter experts are resources I use regularly.
