6th Sense CEO Shares Thoughts on Outsourcing in BusinessWeek’s Small Business Tips of the Day
6th Sense Analytics CEO Greg Burnell contributed the following tip on making outsourcing relationships work to BusinessWeek.com's Small Business Tips of the Day column:
"Companies without an outsourcing strategy are missing out on the cost and skill advantages of an increasingly flat world. But sending key projects and business processes offshore introduces new risk by undermining visibility and control. The reality is that you can't manage what you can't measure, which means that a metrics program is critical to making outsource relationships work.
Beware of outsourcers who would prefer to keep you at arm's length, and insist on a collaborative partnership based on transparency, trust, and openness."
