There is a body of research that suggests many outsourcing deals are not<br />

delivering the benefits expected by client organisations. Common themes centre<br />

on a mixture of unexpected costs and issues surrounding the relationship. Yet<br />

despite these well publicised challenges there remains a significant client<br />

investment in outsourcing. In fact, the move towards outsourcing more core or<br />

strategic elements of the business coupled with the growing importance of<br />

greater collaboration with outsourcers is viewed as a way to achieve greater<br />

flexibility and agility.<br />

These challenges and developments suggest<br />

that outsourcing continues to be viewed<br />

overall as significant in the realisation of<br />

business goals and strategies although there<br />

are many who are currently in existing<br />

outsourcing arrangements that are failing to<br />

deliver the benefits expected.It is our belief<br />

that outsourcing can be an effective strategy however there are a number of<br />

aspects that have to be understood and actively managed both from the outset<br />

and throughout the life of the contract to realise the expected benefit <strong>for</strong> the<br />

clients' business.<br />

The right blend of ingredients<br />

Having the right ingredients alone is not enough to <strong>for</strong>m the basis of a successful<br />

recipe. Any memorable gastronomic experience has behind it an exact blend of<br />

quality ingredients and other elements including skills, experience, preparation,<br />

timing, tools and monitoring to ensure the delivery of a successful outcome <strong>for</strong><br />

the customer. At Aurora Partners we believe the same can be said of outsourcing.<br />

The objective of this article is not to describe an end to end process <strong>for</strong><br />

outsourcing; after all there are plenty of articles about that.

It is looking to explore, from a client perspective, those aspects of the<br />

"outsourcing recipe" that we know from experience are often overlooked or<br />

undervalued and yet we believe are critical in terms of delivering the required<br />

value throughout the term of the contract.<br />

Looking at these aspects in more detail will<br />

help those involved in the procurement and<br />

management of outsourcing to better<br />

understand their existing outsource<br />

challenges and provide some insight into how<br />

to improve the successful prospects of future<br />

outsourcing ventures. Having said this is not<br />

an end to end guide to outsourcing it is important however to provide some<br />

context. The outsourcing process can be broken down into 3 key stages; Business<br />

Case Development, Tendering & Selection and Managing the Contract.<br />
