Outsourcing ~ the key to success in an uncertain business world
The 2001 Australian Outsourcing Summit will help your organization move towards best practice in its use of outsourcing as a powerful tool in today’s dynamic business environment.
The Summit presents case studies from both the private and public sector. The program examines a range of outsourcing solutions, exploring the human resource, financial and legal aspects of outsourcing transactions. The program also examines critical leadership skills demanded in outsourcing management.
Outsourcing is increasingly important in today’s changing business world
To succeed, executives need to know how to apply outsourcing, especially in managing highly complex and critical outside relationships. Hear the experiences of international and national experts of outsourcing’s ability to focus organizations on their core business whilst reducing costs and building competitive advantage. Hear first hand from David Murray how the Commonwealth Bank leveraged from its outsourcing to achieve competitive advantage and cost effectiveness.
In a changing environment, flexibility and adaptability are critical
Industry convergence, deregulation, shifting consumer patterns and e-Business ventures all increase the complexity facing businesses today. The summit speakers explore outsourcing as a strategic management tool, enabling organizations to adapt to volume and business changes.
Successful outsourcing requires disciplined implementation and relationship management
Speakers will outline how managing risks and relationships have become a key consideration to successful outsourcing arrangements. What are the pitfalls and common mistakes that you can avoid? What are the emerging management models and structures that are fundamental to making outsourcing successful?
An ideal mix of international thought leaders and strategically focused practitioners who are making the difference.
