Innovative Outsourcing Deal Structures that Change the Rules and Unlock Value. This presentation will review key issues currently shaping the Outsourcing Industry.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 18, 2005 -- Alsbridge the premier global Outsourcing and Insourcing advisory firm announced today that Ben Trowbridge, Managing Partner for Alsbridge North America, will give a presentation on May 26th at 1:30 p.m. during the Sourcing Interests Groups 27th Semi-Annual Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. The presentation will review the key issues currently shaping the outsourcing industry and feature three case studies of innovative sourcing solutions.

Over the years, the efficacies gained from the use of outsourcing consultants (often used solely to drive down price) have served to develop dysfunctional relationships between the buyer and provider of outsourced services. This prevailing trend in the industry has resulted in the inability of buyers to overcome the seemingly inevitable at odds" relationship that is a consequence of the typical outsourcing contract.

During this presentation, Ben Trowbridge will review several case studies based on his personal experiences with differing variations of successful vendor/client joint venture structures and how they have helped organizations such as Shell International, Farmland Industries, and TXU.

Attendees will also gain insight on the key drivers to pursue, pitfalls to avoid, and ideas that point the way to Outsourcing Deal structures of the future by addressing real problems such as:

1. How to offload the risk but still maintain control?

2. How to reduce internal conflict and allow communication to flow?

3. How to create a balanced client/vendor relationship with common goals?

4. How to find the right relationship and contract model that fits the future state goals?

5. Can a JVSourcing model or innovative deal structures point the way to the future?

With any sourcing initiative, establishing long-term goals requires a methodology that develops a comprehensive sourcing strategy involving an implementation plan, transition plan and managing the financial justification to reap the reward. Mr. Trowbridge will be available to answer questions after the presentation. If you would like to reserve a specific time to speak with an Alsbridge representative, call 214-696-6410.
