We are in the midst of a transition from a society based on physical capital and marginal innovation to a knowledge-based society, where agility, radical innovation, and flexibility have become the basis for our future society. As agile organizations, companies will have to choose their focus and the degree to which outsourcing and offshoring will serve their organizational needs. Using results from a global study and analysis of the future of facility management and services conducted for ISS, learn how megatrends will shape outsourcing and offshoring over the coming decade.
Jeffrey Saunders, Director of the Copenhagen Institute of Future Studies will present on November 23 at the IAOP (International Association of Outsourcing Professionals) network meeting.

Evnen til at udnytte it-outsourcing er blevet en konkurrencefaktor i langt de fleste industrier. For at få et mere nuanceret billede af drivkræfter, holdninger og forventninger til outsourcing har NNIT i samarbejde med konsulentvirksomheden Trellis gennemført en undersøgelse blandt en række danske virksomheder. Læs her de første resultater af undersøgelsen.
Read MoreOutsourcing can deliver profound strategic achievements for companies but it’s by no means a sure thing. Come to our seminar to delve deeply into the experiences of over 85 companies who contributed to our benchmark studies. We take an in-depth look at decision-making, process maturity, risk awareness as well as mitigation, and outsourcing relationships. Learn from their experiences and leverage that knowledge to accelerate your organization’s outsourcing efforts.
Read MoreOur research clearly shows that companies which have an outsourcing strategy in place tend to be better positioned to secure value via outsourcing. Using cases and working with small groups, we will build an outsourcing strategy which will include “must-win battles” and critical success factors.
Participants will be able to understand how an organization can go about building appropriate outsourcing strategies which are explicitly integrated with the business strategy. This means appropriately managing risks and directly supporting business goals. Previous participants have said that they got a “great introduction to the subject along with useful tools which can be put to immediate use.”
Join us for a one-day workshop on building outsourcing strategies which will help you and your organization to directly support your business’ strategy via outsourcing. Note seating is limited to 10.
Trellis has recently executed a benchmark study of IT outsourcing among the 200 largest organizations in Denmark. The benchmark study is sponsored by NNIT. The results of the study are now ready to be released. NNIT is hosting an arrangement on Wednesday, October 5 from 14.00 to 16.00 where I will be presenting the results.
I would like to invite you to attend this event. You are also welcome to send this notice along to colleagues whom you believe would be interested in the study.

There are best practices, which can be employed to maximize the benefits of global virtual teams while minimizing the challenges, and they relate to: Leadership: Global virtual teams require strong and dedicated leadership. Effective distance leaders possess emotional intelligence and take the role as mentors by showing concern, understanding and empathy for their team members; they listen and exhibit patience and sensitivity. They also instill a high degree of trust. Trust is one of the only mechanisms; a distance leader has to manage people on virtual teams. People, who do not trust each other, do not perform together!
Read MoreIncreasingly, leadership at distance is a reality for many organizations. It is by working virtually, that companies are then able to meet the ever-changing requirements in highly turbulent and dynamic global business environments. Virtual global teams offer companies a number of advantages, including, but not limited to, the ability to quickly adapt to ever changing competitive landscapes and ever changing customer demands; independence from time and space constraints; access to heterogeneous networks of knowledge and resources; not to mention reduced travel costs and reduced CO2 emissions.
