Plan Before You Start Outsourcing
Before you barge along and start outsourcing everything you can get your hands on, you have to decide whether all those things really should be farmed out to someone else. You need to stop and plan. Because there are some things that absolutely should not be sourced to outsiders. Those are what are called, in the business world, “core functions.”
These are the things that are absolutely at the core of your business. They’re the things that the company itself was incorporated to provide.
By the way, for readers from The Netherlands, consider these workers, poolse medewerkers for your outsourcing.
And that’s how you’ll identify them, as you look through all the departments and functions going on in your business. If you described your company to a possible customer or client, what would you be offering to them? Was the company incorporated for the purpose of selling lawn chairs to people?
If the main purpose was the selling, you may keep the marketing and sales parts of the business, and simply purchase pre-made lawn chairs from a supplier rather than try to make them yourself. But if your business purpose was the design and manufacture of a unique type of lawn chair, you may want to keep the research and development division of the business too.
