What is Strategic Outsourcing?

There are many reasons why organization might outsource. One of those reasons is outsourcing is a strategy to achieve organization goals.

As part of that strategy, organization may chose to consider outsourcing all their activities other than core competencies. For example, when we worked with city of Charlotte, they said they would consider outsourcing all their departments except for mayor's office, police and fire. They felt these 3 departments were core competencies only a city should do.

When organization adopt this strategic approach to outsourcing, financial savings may not be the primary motive to outsource. They may want to focus their executives resources on those key business processes that create great value. Outsourcing frees up executive time to focus on creating value and letting others focus on necessary but not key business processes.
