You can be very good at branding and marketing, creating a buzz, and coordinating operations, but not good at developing products and services, producing or delivering, or even with being creative and innovative. Outsource that. Some organizations plan and create well, but can't and don't execute. Some don't plan or create well, but execute excellently. That's one reason why you have these innovation companies. They're good at what they do, then they hand off their ideas to the people who can turn them into products and services and get them to market.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668419862299890536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134082962609521581.post-78587873625715720152008-07-10T05:06:00.000-07:002008-07-10T05:06:00.000-07:00I am a supporter of outsourcing but not of outsour...I am a supporter of outsourcing but not of outsourcing innovation. As long as companies outsource only non-core operations, I don’t see why there should be a problem. It helps them concentrate on what really matters. Also the outsourced job is done with better efficiency by the BPO or KPO involved reducing the price. This in the long run should help innovation.

We are making a great effort to "walk the way we talk" in the way the company is managed. In the near future, we plan to write more about it in our innovation blog at:<BR/>www.sitsite.com/blog<BR/>Hope you will find it useful,<BR/>MichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
