Outsourcing has changed dramatically over the last two decades. What was once primarily a commercial decision focused on cost and capacity is now becoming a strategic capability that shapes customer experience, operational resilience and business performance. Using case studies spanning almost twenty years, this session explores how the discipline has evolved and what today's leaders should be doing differently to build effective, outcome-focused partnerships.
