Outsourcing Thoughts

Taking their gut feeling

Advantages

Having a personal guide will help your business enter a new sector, like consulting in fashion for example. This will also boost your business-ing business as you can penetrate industries that you might not have been able to enter before. Another added benefit of employing an expert is that you can learn from someone who is used to the work, and perhaps appreciate more the creativity behind it. An added advantage of hiring a personal guide is that you get a certain competitive advantage over the alternative. Often the problem with not understanding a business is that you can’t even talk to your guide about it.

Losers

There is a difference between hiring a consultant to oversee the outsourcing of a business and hiring a guide to convince you that you are making the right decision. In the first scenario, the guide must state the best practices. This will help the decision-makers decide the right case to hire the expert. In the second scenario, you are at liberty to avoid the consultant if the advice makes you feel better. This way your business can have an overview of what it should do and thus adjust your business accordingly.

Advantages

Appointing an expert provides you with the expert input to consider various alternatives. Once you have sought advice from the expert, you can make decisions based on the advice. By making these decisions, you are able to choose the best options for your business.

Losers

In the first case, the expert does not have the knowledge about what they are offering. Sometimes the expert makes unnecessary cost decisions. The only advantage of hiring a consultant is that they provide you with the information.

POTentials of hiring an expert to oversee your outsourcing

This is an especially worthwhile option if you have only three months’ experience, are starting a business, or are considering job reorganization. In these situations, an expert would have an insight into what could go wrong.

An advantage of hiring an expert is that they are better positioned to support the business during the post IT incident. They may be able to identify areas for improvement to overcome the situation.

Another advantage of hiring an expert is that they understand the business and in many cases are also experts in the specific industry they are in the firm. This way they are better placed to connect with clients who are hiring such experts.

Advantages

Along with the technical advice, hiring an expert will help a business cover areas where it does not have the expertise. This includes topics related to growth, new technologies, and entry into new markets.

Losers

It’s likely that a number of the countries in which your business operates have different laws and policies. As a result, you risk losing clients as the business will be able to know what is the legal position. With this, it is difficult to manage your operations as anything you do will fall under another country’s law.

This is also the main disadvantage of hiring a consultant to oversee outsourcing decisions. It would mean that it is impossible to ask questions about the business’s operations. While that is not entirely on you, you would be running a business operation that is prone to broken operation assumptions.
