Business leaders constantly face shortages of two critical resources: TIME and specialized TALENT. Across departments, the pressure to manage operational demands often leaves leadership teams stuck handling day-to-day tasks, unable to dedicate sufficient focus to strategic initiatives critical for growth. Making smart decisions about what to handle in-house versus potentially outsourcing is key to regaining that focus. This guide provides an outsourcing decision-making framework to help you strategically evaluate functions based on core competencies, streamline operations, and free up vital leadership capacity.
This challenge of balancing operational tasks with strategic goals isn't unique to one department. For instance, according to our Finance and Accounting Talent Market Outlook survey we recently conducted, 88 percent of CFOs report wishing they had more time for strategic initiatives. As our very own Megan Weis projects, this widespread trend isn't likely to disappear any time soon.
That can turn into a frustrating feedback loop that too often slows potential growth and stalls profit gains.
