This meeting will consist of a client roundtable discussion led by Edmond Cunningham and Scott Lever, PA Consulting, entitled “Ensuring Successful Transition & Contract Implementation.” Getting to contract is only half the work. The real challenge for organizations is transitioning services to an outsourcing provider. The effectiveness of the transition will in large part determine the ultimate success of the outsourcing relationship as it sets the stage for positive working relationships and achievable expectations. The roundtable discussion will focus on the key challenges with transitioning services to an outsourcing provider. The challenges range from determining the client’s role in transition and planning to the people and organizational change issues. The speakers will present learnings based on their experience guiding clients through transitions, and offer helpful advice on successfully transitioning services to realize the promise of outsourcing.
