Lagrangeville, NY (PRWEB) February 15, 2007 -- The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) and Duke Executive Education today announced they will launch a training series to help corporate executives lead and implement successful outsourcing and offshoring strategies.
This three-day class will help senior executives identify the benefits and pitfalls of different outsourcing models, understand the importance of corporate strategy, and recognize and address management and service challenges.
The class will feature the offshoring expertise of the Duke Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER). Duke CIBER will present at The 2007 Outsourcing World Summit, Feb. 19-22, in Las Vegas.
Executives participating in the new Successful Outsourcing & Offshoring Strategies program will have an opportunity to engage expert faculty at Duke and experienced executives who will address reorganizing, restructuring and leading the outsourcing program office.
“The offshoring and outsourcing space is evolving rapidly,” said Arie Y. Lewin, Director, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University. “Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion of Duke offshoring case studies hot off the press and rethink/retool their current strategies in the intimate setting of Duke University.”
