CORE Communiqué February 2010:

President’s Message

Hello CORE Members and Friends,

Hope you are all well. The beginning of 2010 kicked off to a great start with the launch of the Outsourcing Monitor. This new initiative is a partnership between CORE and IDC Canada and we plan twice a year to publish information on the Canadian outsourcing market, providing you with market information, activity and commentary on outsourcing trends. Our first report, updating the market activity since June 2009 with a focus on offshoring was communicated via webcast on January 19th and below you will find the link to the webcast. We hope you will find the information both interesting and valuable.....Read More


Why Focus on Outsourcing?

Outsourcing is becoming more important, more sophisticated and more challenging:

As organizations attempt to enhance their effectiveness and productivity they are using outsourcing, shared services and other innovative business models as key strategies to achieve these outcomes. Outsourcing is now also seen as a response to capacity shortages resulting from demographic change.

Outsourcing is being used for a broad range of services and the scope of outsourcing agreements is much broader than in the past, sometimes incorporating entire processes and functions.

Outsourcing agreements are becoming more sophisticated and complex, with outsourcing being used to achieve transformational improvements, and service providers often being paid on the basis of business outcomes.

Outsourced services are now often performed through a "global delivery model" where work is sometimes spread across several regions or even continents.

Survey after survey shows that many outsourcing relationships fail to deliver expected results.

CORE is dedicated to providing organizations with the knowledge and skills to manage these change initiatives effectively.

 

CORE releases its annual feedback survey. Participate in the survey and give us your feedback and provide input on future program & services.

Career Opportunity with CORE.We are looking for a new Vice President to join the CORE team. If you are interested in a new challenge and enjoy working in a fast paced environment with great people, let us know.  

Nominations for the CORE Board of Directors is now underway. Access information on the process, the criteria and how to submit a nomination for consideration.
