IAOP Chapter: Voice of the Customer

Webinar held on September 21, 2011.

The  IAOP Voice of the Customer Chapter, chaired by Vodafone The Netherlands and Rio Tinto, held a webinar on September 21, 2011. 

"What Providers Say About Clients"
This topic was presented by Dr. Mary Lacity, Professor of Information systems at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Dr. Lacity and her co-author, Dr. Leslie Willcocks of the London School of Economics, reviewed 1,356 findings from the past 20 years on ITO and BPO research to determine which provider claims are supported by the facts and which are not. Does a focus on price diminish innovation? Are RFPs too long? Does an unprofitable deal for providers lead to poor results for clients?  What are advisors doing wrong? These and other questions were answered.
