The Vaporizing Value of Outsourcing
 
ALS Consulting and Trowbridge Group merge to form Global Sourcing Advisory Firm
(May 16, 2005) - Leading outsourcing consulting firm, the Trowbridge Group has merged with ALS Consulting, a European shared services and outsourcing consultancy to form a new global company named Alsbridge. Please visit www.Alsbridge.com to read about our expanded services and capabilities.
 

Outsourcing discussions often begin with a focus on high-impact strategic goals or a total process improvement that goes beyond cost reduction. Often, due to a lack of management experience or the proper time to focus, the sourcing process will slowly veer off track and become a commodity procurement that fails to hit the original outsourcing goals. Trowbridge Group can help the client hit the target and avoid many common outsourcing problems.

Common Problems:

  • Undisciplined and poorly thought out sourcing process
  • Failing to accurately identify and define the true business case
  • A single focus on outsourcing or shared services alone
  • Supplier’s sophistication and solution development capability
  • Sub-optimal contract lacking workable service level agreements
  • Service delivery failure
  • Poor post-contract audit approach
  • Unintentionally creating unsustainable “alliances”
 
Careful alignment of management culture, pricing and service are key to success.
