Vested Outsourcing: Five Rules That Will Transform Outsourcing

Vested Outsourcing is the book that will change all outsourcing relationships!

Discover five rules that will transform your business by igniting innovation, improving service, lowering costs and increasing profits.

Just what are the rules, where did they come from, and how to do they work?

This book profiles the ground-breaking research performed at the University of Tennessee with the United States Air Force resulting in a robust methodology to outsourcing that is now adopted by over 50 companies ranging from Fortune 100 companies such as Microsoft and Intel to the British Columbia Health authorities which have now embraced Vested for three deals.

Through the research, supply-chain innovator and lead researcher, Kate Vitasek and her co-authors identified the top 10 critical (and often invisible) flaws inherent in almost all outsourced business relationships. They then show organizations how to reinvent their business relationships to ignite innovation, improve service, lower costs and increase profit.

With change being the ultimate status quo in today’s business world it’s time to turn to the Vested methodology to learn a smarter, leaner and more efficient method for achieving the power of AND – driving cost efficiencies and increasing a market share/ top line growth through powerful win-win partnerships. The adoption of the Vested rules will be the differentiator between growth or failure in this new business environment.

Find out if you have one of these ticking time bombs in your company.
