Transition Services
Whether you are outsourcing to an external supplier or to an internal shared services organisation, realising value faster means getting your transition completed to plan and budget. This enables you to move to business as usual and realise cost savings anticipated in your business case quicker.
Timely transition is crucial to getting the full value from outsourcing or shared services. Any delay in the transitioning of services represents a missed chance to save costs. These lost cost savings can never be retrieved. Additionally, value is not just about cost savings. What happens during transition sets the scene for what will happen over the course of your outsourcing or shared service relationship. The transition phase builds the foundations and relationships on which your sourcing success will depend, for the lifetime of the arrangement.
A bad transition experience will lead to many undesirable and often irreversible issues, among which:
- Longer 'time to value' - resulting in negative board exposure with cost savings not realised
- A 'working to the letter of the contract' mentality resulting in supplier or shared service relationship breakdown, inefficient service delivery, and poor employee and customer experience
- Higher than necessary workload retained in-house with fragmented business processes, skill gaps and knowledge loss
