Leading in a Post-Crisis World through Innovative Sourcing Strategies
Outsourcing as a business practice is gaining popularity among both private and public sector organizations in the Middle East region.
More than just cost cutting, or a way to ease short-term liquidity problems, Outsourcing is a way to adapt to the post-crisis situation, where companies totally unbounded by traditional considerations has to deliver increased value to its customers.
The next generation thinking within the industry is that Outsourcing is not about exporting jobs, but importing Competitiveness and Innovation. And as in any major transformation, Outsourcing requires a high degree of leadership and senior management commitment, a systematic and comprehensive approach, and a good deal of change management.
Outsourcing is relatively a new business practice in the Middle East and the needs are totally different from the USA, Europe or any other part of the world. Arab Outsourcing Conference & Expo 2010 will specifically examine Outsourcing challenges in the Middle East at a Strategic level.
