Alsbridge Announces Free Online Seminar On Change And Relationship Management For Outsourcing

Alsbridge sponsors online seminar for qualified buyers that focuses on gaining value through OCM

Dallas, TX - July 17, 2007 - Alsbridge, the award winning outsourcing, offshoring and shared services advisory firm, invites qualified buyers to attend a free, online seminar on the role of change management and relationship management on the success of outsourcing strategies.

The event is scheduled for August 8 at 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Central US. For more information or to register for the event, interested corporate buyers should go to www.outsourcingleadershipforum.com.

“Every outsourcing arrangement is a complex and long-term business relationship, but you should not have to wait years to get a return on your investment,” says Ben Trowbridge, CEO of Alsbridge. “Companies who have been outsourcing for more than seven years know that managing change and the outsourcing relationship are more important to achieving success than the terms of their contracts.”

Trowbridge says failures of outsourcing contracts can often be attributed to the fact that people are not ready for change, provider/customer relationships and governance structures are under-developed and organizations are unable to retain critical talent, business knowledge and capability during the transformation process.

To address these issues, Alsbridge is hosting this free event. The webinar will discuss what veteran outsourcers have learned about starting their relationship right and keeping their relationship healthy. Craig Nelson, Alsbridge managing consultant, will discuss the following topics:

  • Speed of change during the initial stages of transition and transformation can make or break the outsourcing value proposition.
  • Long-term change management programs require a practical and tactical short-term outsourcing change foundation upon which to build ongoing support for success.
  • Human factors associated with moving from a cost center mentality to a value center culture are critical to outsourcing success
  • Traditional change management theory does not compute in the midst of transition
