Alsbridge Identifies Seven Keys to Effective “Insourcing”

Companies Who Want to Bring Outsourced Operations Back Must Plan Effectively

Insourcing – or bringing operations that were once outsourced back in-house – is gaining favor as corporations are taking back the reigns and reversing their outsourcing decisions for myriad reasons ranging from abject dissatisfaction to unrealized value.  Executing the reverse transition, once the decision has been made, is every bit as complicated as executing the original outsourcing transition was, or even more so.  Alsbridge, a leading outsourcing advisor, has identified common denominators of successful insourcing transitions, and has published an article entitled “Taking Back the Reigns: Bringing Outsourced Jobs Back In House” in the online journal of sourcing topics, Outsourcing Leadership.

In the article, the author writes that once a company makes the decision to insource, the following seven keys will help ensure successful insource transitions:

1.        Establish a transition management office.

2.        Understand the existing provider contract.

3.        Engage your human resources organization early

4.        Redesign and align the future-state organization

5.        Define new job roles and responsibilities

6.        Create and implement a strategic framework and a set of tactical actions to fulfill the new job roles

7.        Communicate constantly to all stakeholders.

The article includes more details on each of the seven keys, identified by Alsbridge consultants who studied Alsbridge’s clients’ transition projects.

Alsbridge also recently participated in a related web seminar, “On the Brink: Alternatives for Fixing a Broken Outsourcing Relationship”.  The free on-demand archive of the broadcast will be available by registering at www.gotomeeting.com/register/182633648 beginning April 24.
