Consultants And Outsourcing: The Outsourcer And Outsourcee's Perspective

Abstract:

As consultants, we come across outsourcing situations in two types of scenarios: either we encounter opportunities where our clients outsource some projects to us, or we ourselves outsource part of our projects to other people or organizations. For instance, those of us with access to an independent lab can complete R&D projects or provide pilot quantities of prototype materials. We also often outsource analytical services.

Mike Bigwood will lead a panel discussion on the special circumstances surrounding these activities, and how these circumstances impact on the way we, as consultants, do our business (proposals, pricing, regulatory issues, etc).

Please come prepared to share your own personal experiences in this area.
