Is outsourcing poised for revolutionary change? Outsourcing as a business model has evolved continuously and incrementally over time. Now, some experts are pointing to a coming revolution. The same elements that have moved the web to what people are calling web 2.0 may now do the same for the outsourcing business model.

In response to these changes, the Outsourcing Institute underwrote a landmark research study to uncover the sources and methods driving this new level of rapid change. After reviewing the summary findings, the SharedXpertise Bulletin met with OI’s founder and lead guru, Frank Casale, to hear from him about the future of outsourcing 2.0.

The Finance & Procurement “How-To” Day, rapidly becoming a regular fixture in Finance professionals diaries, was organized by SharedXpertise Forums in association with Capgemini. The day consisted of several practical, interactive workshops and a panel of experts combined with a gathering of industry practitioners from across Geographies and Industries including: Finance Directors, Shared Service Directors, and Procurement Directors from more than 20 multi-national corporations.

The steady growth of the outsourcing industry is forcing CFOs to look afresh at the entire finance value chain.
