Overview

This is the industry's most popular outsourcing workshop, available in both instructor-led classroom and self-pace e-learning formats.

Whether your goal is to earn 15 points toward the Certified Outsourcing Professional (COP) designation or simply to gain comprehensive cutting-edge knowledge on all aspects of creating and sustaining successful relationships with your outsourcing partners, this workshop is for you!

More than half of all organizations spend two percent or less of an outsourcing contract’s cost on governance. More than 60 percent report losing 10 percent or more of the contract’s value because of poor governance between the customer and the provider. Professionals involved in outsourcing clearly have an important role to play in helping their organizations plan, invest in, and execute a cohesive set of business practices for designing and implementing a strong governance program.
