The great outsourcing talent-chasm: 57% of service provider staff don’t understand their clients’ businesses

The great outsourcing talent-chasm: 57% of service provider staff don’t understand their clients’ businesses

By Phil Fersht on October 2, 2012

Yes, this gap will surely close as the industry matures, but I find this talent-chasm unacceptable in today’s global marketplace.

Friday Rant: The Straight Dope on Procurement and Supply Chain Conferences (Part 1)

By Jason Busch on January 29, 2010

I’m often asked my opinion on events and conferences. While I’ve
tackled this subject on Spend Matters a number of times, it
seems that I?m getting more and more questions lately from providers
about what events they should sponsor this year…
