You contract with a new service provider or bring processes (nearer to) home. That’s just a change of contract, right? Probably not. We are all friends here, the new service provider works in our interest. Hopefully yes, but service providers have shareholders and owners too. Outsourcing, offshoring, and near-shoring means dealing with
Many partners, and even more systems
New partners adds complexity. Similarly, insourcing means you have to integrate new processes and skills into your organization and systems. Proceses you may not have recent experience with. And bringing people in with the process is not always a success either. Different culture, systems, and the desire to standardize process into your own may result in disappointment achieving anticipated benefits.

Our experience with these changes is that organizations continue the processes they are used to. Even though those may not be the best or appropriate for the newly created relationships. And contracts often don’t deal with the information to be exchanged between partners. Yet, information exchange is critical to ensure processes are executed timely, efficiently and cost effective.
PCG can help guiding the transition into reliable, repeatable processes. Start to finish.
