“...a top notch event!  Even with high expectations, I was really impressed by the conference, the speakers and the attendees.”


The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) in association with FORTUNE® Custom Projects is pleased to present a very special event, the 10th anniversary edition of its world-renowned conference series – The Outsourcing World Summit. 

The 2007 Outsourcing World Summit will be held
February 19-21, 2007 at the one of the world’s most exquisite desert locations, the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort, located just a few miles from downtown Las Vegas.

The theme for The 2007 Outsourcing World Summit is Winning in The Global Knowledge Space.  As business has gone global, companies have come to realize that they need to win not only in the global marketplace but also in the global knowledge space.  This means attracting the best partners and tapping the best minds anywhere in the world, and then rapidly synthesizing and deploying the new ideas, and new ways of doing business that result.  With outsourcing as the overarching framework for achieving this, delegates will come away with a clear roadmap forward for success in this new world of business.

An Ongoing Shared Service Evolution

Marta Foster, Vice President Business Solutions, Procter & Gamble

Formed from a vision of consolidation and cost cutting, P&G's Global Shared Service organization has in its short life span become so much more. One of the largest Shared Services in the world, GBS has undergone several major "evolutions" in just its first seven years, including a year with 4 major outsourcing partnerships. Plans for more change are in the works. The reason? P&G's vision is that for a Shared Service to remain a strategic advantage, it must continue to refine, refocus and rethink its playing field. 




Breaking From  the Pack in today's Copycat  Economy

Oren Harari, Best-Selling Author, and Business Visionary

Drawing from his new book Break From the Pack:  How to Compete in a Copycat Economy , Dr. Harari discusses the realities, and opportunities, of the global knowledge marketplace -- where organizational assets like innovation, speed, agility, talent, and competencies trump sheer size, scope, mass, volume and physical assets.  Through examples from across the world of business, he'll explain how leaders need to approach their enterprises differently and chart new strategic paths.




Outsourcing's  New Global Deal Model

David Barrett, Partner, Simmons & Simmons

Winning in the global knowledge space takes new types of deal structures that allow ideas and people to flow seamlessly across company boundaries.  At the same time, all parties to the relationship need to be able to share in both the risks and rewards of setting and achieving exceptional goals.  As one of the top legal advisors in this new global landscape,
David Barrett shows how this can be done and the perils facing those that don't get it right.




How Services Globalization is  Futurizing the Corporation

Atul Vashistha, Chairman & CEO, neoIT 

Services globalization - an evolution of offshoring and a more sophisticated approach to leveraging emerging markets - will impact how corporations look in the future.  Atul discusses the profile of these Futurized Corporations, their building blocks and how specific organizations right now are capitalizing on services globalization to gain unmatched competitive advantages in their markets.




The Power-Link Between Innovation and the Globalization  of Talent

Chris Disher, Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton

Contrary to conventional wisdom that innovative activities constitute the core of a firm's differentiation and value creation, Duke-BAH Offshore Research Network (ORN) survey data shows that product development offshoring has grown tremendously over the last 5 to 10 years.  In his talk, Chris explores in depth the implications of this trend for developing firm-wide outsourcing strategies as well as several successful examples of companies that are acting on this trend to capture minds and markets.
