Outsourcing Advisory Services

🔍 Outsourcing “Non-Core Activities” is a smart strategy to improve productivity and financial performance in today’s fast-paced business environment. Success often comes down to working closely with the right outsourcing advisory services provider.

Many organisations are discovering that outsourcing non-core activities, such as IT support, payroll, facilities management, or customer service, can significantly boost overall business performance.

Escape Velocity for Business offers two broad types of outsourcing advisory services tailored to your circumstances. We are always flexible in our approach.

We’ll Help You to Outsource

  • We help you identify the non-core areas you could outsource if you haven’t already done so. Our outsourcing advisory services also identify risk areas you may not have considered.
  • Then we find appropriate service providers for you based on your requirements. We do that by searching for appropriate providers. Alternatively, we will run tenders for you if that’s the approach you prefer. With our advisory expertise in outsourcing services, we make the process as smooth as possible.
  • We will shortlist suitable providers and make recommendations. In addition, we’ll present to you management team or board if you would like us to. BUT the final decision is always yours.
  • We will help you with the implementation, including staff impacts and change management to ensure you get the most value from your outsourcing advisory services relationships.

Manage Your Outsourced Service Providers

  • We’ll hold your outsourced service providers to account for delivering what they promised as part of our complete outsourcing advisory services.
  • We’ll build straon relationships whilst keeping providers accountable, because successful outcomes from your outsourcing advisory services depend on strong partnerships.
  • We’ll monitor the performance of your service providers. We do this by reviewing indicators and attending regular performance meetings. Additionally, we will measure customer satisfaction, yours or your end customers. This continuous assessment is a crucial element of successful outsourcing advisory services.

Further

  • We’ll identify opportunities for service improvements and cost savings, which is a major goal of outsourcing advisory services support.
  • We’ll keep track of your service contracts and let you know when they’re due for renewal. In addition, we will discuss with you how you would like to proceed, bringing our outsourcing advisory services perspective to ensure the best outcome.

We charge for our services based on an hourly rate with a minimum 15-minute increment. Annual contracts can be arranged for managing outsourced service providers.

💡If you need help, it’s critical that you select an Outsourcing Advisor with expertise and objectivity, i.e., supplier independence and, most importantly, INTEGRITY. You need someone prepared to swear that they will not take backhanders from potential suppliers to recommend them. Moreover, we’ll declare even the smallest possible conflict of interest, even simple things like having a cup of coffee with a service provider. These safeguards are essential for trust in outsourcing advisory services.💡

Here’s why outsourcing is good for your business and can help you grow:
✅Outsourcing allows internal teams to focus on core stengths and concentrate on what they do best i.e. tasks that drive value, innovation, and competitive advantage
✅It provides access to specialised expertise
✅External partners bring experience, scale, and tools that are often costly to replicate internally.
✅Outsourcing offers the ability to scale up or down with demand. This agility is vital in uncertain markets and avoids the burden of fixed overheads.
✅ Cost Efficiency
✅When done strategically, outsourcing can reduce operating costs without sacrificing quality, freeing up capital for reinvestment in growth and innovation.
✅Specialist providers are often more equipped to meet tight SLAs, adopt new technologies faster, and maintain compliance with changing regulations.

The key is to outsourcing strategically is to identify the areas you can outsource without impacting your core capabilities. Ensuring alignment with your goals, maintaining visibility, and managing relationships proactively.
