5 MAIN PRINCIPLES OF OUTSOURCING WHICH IS WORTHWHILE

HAVE CLEAR ON WHY YOU DECIDE TO OUTSOURCE

- do not use outsourcing just because your competitors are doing it
- untapped potential, cost reduction, expansion of priorities, pilot projects, verification of marketing strategy, getting the "outside looking in" on the company/product/issue, etc.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODEL OF COOPERATION

- talk openly about the trends, perceptions and expectations, the same require from your outsourcing partners to prevent eventual disillusionment during the project

GET PEOPLE ON BOARD

- become proponents of outsourcing, participate in the coordination of cooperation, lead your subordinates to understand the purpose of the project and use all its advantages

BE PREPARED TO INVEST TIME AND EFFORT

- 80% of companies stated that the reason for outsourcing is cost savings, if you expect more than that, be prepared to invest management time to develop cooperation with partners, ask for feedback

DEAL WITH YOUR PARTNERS AS EQUALS

- despite the fact that working with outsourcing partners often begins in some concerns about the outcome, experienced matadors claim that the results are better if you deal with partners as equals
- in case you act with the supplier as a trader telling him exactly what to do and how the things have to be done you will be probably disappointed
