When you read the title, you probably thought I was going to mention China, India, etc. Outsourcing is a broad term. For example, if your company uses an outside printing firm to complete your marketing materials, then you are outsourcing. We are currently working on a project for a medical device start-up in Central Indiana. The scope of the project involves formation of the supply chain for the product to get to market.
During our initial conversation with the client, we discussed the potential for outsourcing the manufacturing to places outside of Indiana. I know that many of you are not happy with outsourcing in its various forms. In my opinion, I think that outsourcing can be the key to the growth of a business. The focus of the business should be on its core expertise. All the rest, you need to outsource.
Fortunately, we are working with our Indianapolis business relationships to keep the initial launch local. As a global business consulting firm, we could have worked with our partners outside of Indiana. We decided to outsource locally to control the initial process.
Is your company focusing 100% on its core business?
