You've heard it said that its more important to do the right things than to do things right. Doing things right often mitigates against the Pareto principle but doing the right things is critical to saving time, money and effort.
Outsourcing contracts need to be managed against business outcomes. We offer independent outcomes management. This may sound like consulting speak but think about it. What do you really want when you outsource? You want the hassle and fuss of IT to be invisible but you want your business to run well, in fact you want it to run better than when you had to hassle with managing IT. You want IT that just works and does not hinder your business in any way. You want right sourcing.
Managing your outsourcing, vendor, supplier and contractor deliverbles for business outcomes rather than any technology specific imperative is the secret.

The Good, the Bad and the UglyTenders are the bane of my life. We have worked on both sides of the process in many tenders over the past five years or more. To be clear, the two sides of the process I refer to are before the transaction and after the transaction. A tender is intended to result in a transaction where a large sum of money changes hands for the implementation of some solution. If you're lucky, the money is paid legitimately upon the solution realising the intended benefits. But it really takes more than luck to get this right. Firstly, the requestor usually has preconceived ideas about who they want to get the solution from and what the solution should look like. These preconceptions are seldom legitimate or appropriate leading practice. |
