10. Economic value of off-shoring real
Off-shoring creates 40-50% greater value for the global economy
India captures 33% of every off-shored dollar while the US retains 67% and the incremental 40-50% value creation
Off-shored jobs small fraction of expected retirements/lay-offs THEREFORE, BUSINESS LOGIC WOULD INDICATE THAT BPO HERE TO STAY … BUT WILL REQUIRE HANDLING CUSTOMER CONCERNS WITH COMPASSIONNegative emotional impact at the customer equally real

Significantly higher acceptance in 2002
“Triggers pulled” in 2003 by several players including BMS, Novartis, AbbottMainstreaming of IT offshoring and emergence of credible success stories on cost and quality improvements
Solid vendor base (e.g., Infosys, Satyam, TCS) with proven track record
Observed actions of competing players!“Wait and watch” towards outsourcing of business process through 2002 and early 2003
Numerous ongoing discussions in 2003 with vendors on finance & accounting and HR offshoringIncreasing focus on rationalizing support function costs
Emergence of credible success stories and vendors for F&A and HR
Observed actions of competing players
Many companies articulating “overall aspiration” cutting across numerous opportunities such as IT, BPO, R&D
R&DConcerns around IP and quality of medical infrastructurePositive experience of first movers in addressing concerns and benefiting significantly e.g., AZ and BMS in R&D; Pfizer & Eli Lily in clinical development; Novartis & Pfizer in data management

27. Rigorous analytic approachSponsor-led approachOutside-in approachF-1000 PLAYERS HAVE ADOPTED THREE APPROACHES TO SELECT PROCESSES FOR OFFSHORINGDetailed analysis to identify high potential processes, percentIdentify processes for offshoring based on simple criteria
Sponsorship from process owner (e.g., inside Group Ops. in LTSB)
Least organizational resistance (e.g., overflow work)
Low reputation/service quality riskUse external benchmarks (activities and phasing) to identify and prio-ritize the corresponding candidate process in your organization
Use benchmark information on off-shore-onshore split and internal FTE mapping (for identified candidate processes) to size the opportunityFilter activities by offshorabilityIdentify processes/ activities offshored by existing players'Build and they will come' – allow other parts of the organization to decide on offshoring at their own pace26030918 Offshoring workshop v2
