Primary Assertion: The hallmarks of successful outsourcing processes are predictable, reliable and durable performance and savings. We are amazed at how many companies suffer from lack of comprehensive process planning and launch management. This guide is provided to help companies considering outsourcing to know common errors and compensate for them by requiring their contractors to provide explicit launch, monitoring and performance details.

Work content is only part of the planning.

Process controls such has how work is assigned, ensuring work start completion through explicit confirmation. Assignments, pending work reports should be planned along with training on how work is done. Ignoring these details can often lead to work being invisible or delayed.

Work content must be evaluated by a process engineer.

Clients who know the work process often assume rules as common sense and understood. Explicit control of remote resources requires that rules be evaluated and quality control implemented based on all known rules so that process learning is rapid and improvements documented.

Focus on qualitative aspects of work as well.

Not just what needs to be done but as an example what font is to be used or where on the documents changes are allowed or required. Lack of qualitative aspects often results in poor results unless these elements are explicit and well documented.

Explain the work context.

It is important for outsourcing companies to understand the business model well enough to ensure they guard the client’s interest. In order to understand this a high level view of the work being outsourced and how exactly it fits in the larger business processes is vital. As an example If prioritizing work is required, explain the implications of delay. Set rules, SLAs and reporting to reveal such problems.

Launch of any complex process requires babysitting.

During the initial stages errors, improvements, adjustments must be made rapidly to ensure work output is desirable. Launch requires both clients and outsourcers to respond to process adjustments by maintaining clear and complete documentation of the process. Change management is vital to success at this early stage.
