A new independent authority on outsourcing – the Outsourcing
Foundation – has been formed by the London School of Economics.
It’s a place where thinking and brainstorming can be done before
critical decisions are made. The Foundation’s research builds on 15
years of research into the outsourcing practices of more than 1,200
organisations. With help from the Outsourcing Foundation, member
organisations can, for example, help to solve problems on
outsourcing without relying on consultants that may have a vested
interest in being commissioned to do further work.
In this video, Leslie Willcocks, Professor in Information
Systems at the London School of Economics and a director of The
Outsourcing Foundation, talks about why it has been set up and what
it will do for organisations have outsourced or are considering it.
Leslie Willcocks also gives his views on outsourcing trends.
