  Sourcing Strategy Principals

We will work with your management team and critical stakeholders to define a actionable strategy for IT sourcing.  With the exception of customer facing functions, nothing is sacred (strategy, people, process, technology, all are candidates for outsourcing)

Assume enterprise-wide standards and then make case for exceptions—implies a dedicated function with the authority to drive sourcing decisions and change

Simplify business processes, integrate functions, and then automate as necessary

Measurement and accountability will be the keystones to success — all sourcing decisions will be based upon well defined business cases which identify both soft and hard benefits and associated risks

Sourcing initiatives must drive toward and enable strategic objectives

IT must drive change into the enterprise—through a formal change management and communications

Must define desired results and definition of success before devoting resources

Planning, change management and communication must be completely integrated into every stage of transformation
