If you're looking for a serious infusion of life-blood into your company, transformational outsourcing could be the answer. This new, bold approach is not just about handing off noncore functions in order to cut costs. It's about transforming the entire operating model to boost a company's stock price, increase its market share, or drive its profitability.

Outsourcing for Radical Change supplies a detailed analysis of the transformation process that happened at companies that failed to align their transformation initiative with their strategic needs. Based on a major study by Accenture and in-depth interviews by the author, this original, research-based book examines the entire process from a practical, real-world perspective. The book covers everything from selecting your ultimate goal, to mapping out a workable action plan, to navigating the often formidable challenges you'll face on your quest for radical change.

In the business world, major change efforts have an abysmally poor track record, with poor execution standing out as the major culprit. By comparison, transformational outsourcing has been highly successful in 17 out of the 20 companies tracked in this groundbreaking book. The process brings larger, faster, and more lasting impacts than most people ever expect. And it can be your secret weapon in the struggle to survive and prosper in the 21st century.
