It is not a secret that the entire world faces a deepening talent shortage for at least the next decade. At BSG Concours, we believe that companies that excel at attracting, developing and retaining talent will develop a sustainable competitive advantage over those that do not.
But that talent, in today’s environment, need not reside at one of your offices or even employed directly by your company:
competitiveness in the next decade will be determined by placing the right talent in the right place at the right time, with the right economics.
Outsourcing to a developing nation or “homesourcing” to employees’ living rooms are two of the newer approaches available to companies that are ready to fight the talent crunch, but they are hardly the only ones.
A good global sourcing solution is intimately tied to the business strategy it is meant to enable. Too many companies look at global sourcing as strictly a cost play, and most fail to examine all of their options before moving forward.
BSG Concours wants to help companies build a Next Generation Enterprise, understanding that when it comes to talent, the world is the playing field but the winning play may be closer than you think. We believe competitive advantage can and should be built through
Global Sourcing, and we are prepared to help your company do it.
Our approach to global sourcing is truly different. BSG Concours has no agenda or bias when it comes to where companies locate their talent.
We do, however, believe that every strategy has talent sourcing implications, some of which lead to concentrated work teams close to home and others which require a broad global footprint.
Two thirds of global sourcing initiatives fail to meet expectations: BSG Concours helps clients
be in the successful third.
A global sourcing strategy built in a vacuum is just as pointless as one poorly executed, and we make sure than neither of these happen. So, what does good execution "look like?"
- A global sourcing strategy that is aligned with the enterprise business strategy
- Creation of unambiguous and measurable outcomes for the initiative
- Insistence on thorough analysis of all the options (including internal and non-traditional options)
- Organizational readiness for global sourcing
- Preparedness to manage globally dispersed talent, regardless of the badge the individuals wear
Contact us today for an executive briefing to hear how BSG Concours can help you create the conditions for your company to take global sourcing of talent to the next level.
If you believe that your global sourcing activity can take your company to new heights of competitiveness, we believe we are the firm to help you.
