Personnel
"Engaged and Talented People are your real assets!"
Challenge
People are your greatest asset and largest cost item. Should you leverage full-time employee headcount for particular functions or would these areas be better suited to an "outtasked", "co-managed", "outsourced" or other variable-cost approach. Full-time personnel are typically devoted to your firm, but do they have the proper skillset and requisite knowledge for the task at hand?
Many strategic functions have been "off-shored" recently. This also comes with its challenges of "distance management", language barriers, cultural differences and challenges in training and motivating far-off staff. Is this an appropriate strategy or are their better, cost effective domestic alternatives?
The Hastings Group can help!

Bottom Line
The are many ways projects and long-term on-going operational tasks can be accomplished. Financial considerations, speed-to-market, technological change, employee/customer satisfaction and competitive advantage drive many of these decisions. Wholesale "outsourcing" and "offshoring" come with many hidden costs and seldom achieve the expected cost savings originally promised.
