You Can Manage Offshore / Outsourced Services Successfully!

Outsourcing has transformed the way we work. By shifting some design and development work offshore, an organization must know how to effectively manage the "extended team". In order to take advantage of cost savings for labor abroad, onshore growth and innnovation, efficiency, 24/7 productivity, quality, and revenues, executives need to create a business model that allows for the investment of time and process.

The approach is simple, in theory. Experience counts! Beverly has proven methods to achieve success in managing offshore development.

  • Are you considering expanding your business offshore, but are not sure where to start?

  • Have you been unsuccessful managing offshore projects?

  • Do you wonder how to improve teamwork and communication with an offshore team?

    • Here's what you need to get started in order to maximize quality, time, and profits offshore:

    * The mentality of an "extended team"; partnership versus "throwing something over the fence"
    * A process model that's scalable and repeatable and adopted by both the onshore and offshore teams to increase quality/consistency, decrease cost, and continuously improve
    * An understanding of cultural differences and how they play out in the corporate environment
    * Regular and consistent communication
    * Preparation to invest time and effort leveraging an onshore program manager

  • Create an outsourcing development process to execute projects while incorporating best practices across the industry (Originate - Scope & Charter, Initiate - Training Solution, Plan, Design, Develop, and Evaluate)

  • Outsource industry standard subject matter expertise (SME) work when possible

  • Leverage internal SME's for company best practices and examples

  • Outsource 95%+ curriculum development and instruction

  • Leverage individual education plans to enable proactive volume planning

  • Negotiate volume discounts with vendors to reduce costs

    • Beverly has solid experience working across the business to analzye, develop, and implement business processes that can either be leveraged for in-house or outsourced development. Processes can be defined for both small projects (e.g. rapid development) or medium to large projects; and, they can be leveraged regardless of the training solution.
