Beyond the Revolution: Getting Back to the Business of Outsourcing

The recent barrage of media attention surrounding outsourcing has sparked a controversial debate, not only in this country, but around the world. Outsourcing has become more complex in today's highly competitive global marketplace with new players, new strategies and new concerns. The 2005 Outsourcing World Summit introduces executives to the new players, and how they can transform your company; the latest strategies, and how they can benefit your business; and the concerns of the day, and what businesses must do to prepare for the new outsourced economy.

"With more than $5 trillion in global outsourcing spending and growth rates of 15 percent or more per year, outsourcing is proving to be one of the most effective tools available for strengthening businesses and the overall economy," says Michael F. Corbett, conference chair and president and CEO of Michael F. Corbett & Associates, Ltd. "This is why leaders from around the world come to the Summit every year; to access the latest thinking and the most extensive network of experience and guidance available anywhere." The Summit, in its eighth year, remains true to its goal of advancing outsourcing as a management practice. This message has never been more important and the time has never been better for us to get back to the business of outsourcing.
