PERSPECTIVES ON
TRAINING OUTSOURCING
- D OU G HARWAR D
Since launching Training Industry, we have been
focused on understanding the global training
outsourcing market and what drives corporate
executives to source training services. Our
research has provided us a deeper understanding
of buyer behavior, best practices, who the top
suppliers are, and how companies spend for
training services.
THE GOOD
NEWS IS THE
DISCUSSION
FOR TRAINING
OUTSOURCING
HAS MATURED.
What we've learned during this time is while
some things have changed quite a bit, others
have stayed the same. What hasn't changed
over the last 12 years are the basic services and
capabilities that corporate training organizations
are sourcing - training administration, content
development, delivery, portfolio management,
and technology support. But when looking at
why companies are using outsource suppliers
and the complexity and sophistication for which
those services are being provided has continued
to change.
The fundamental driver for companies seeking
a strategic partner for the management of their
training activities use to be focused more on
cost reduction. When we first started working
with corporate leaders of training functions
who were considering an outsourcing strategy,
the conversation always began with a question
about how much money could they save if they
outsourced some or all of their training function.
Unfortunately, many corporate leaders learned
that reducing the cost of training didn't get
them more value - it simply reduced the spend
for getting less of what they were already doing.
In addition, many confused the practice of
outsourcing and offshoring, and often thought
that you either outsourced or you didn't.
The good news is the discussion for training
outsourcing has matured. Leaders understand
that outsourcing and offshoring are two different
strategies, and that everyone outsources, or in
some way sources one or more processes or
activities within the training function. Rarely does
any large company outsource every part of the
training function.
The conversations around training outsourcing
have become more about what companies can
do to get more value from training and how can
they transform the training function into one
that drives value for the business. This shift has
been great news for training suppliers who have
continued to improve their capabilities while
remaining efficient in cost.
This special edition of Training Industry Magazine
is a collection of perspectives on the best practices
of training outsourcing and where the market
is heading. You will learn about some of the
challenges training leaders are experiencing in
how to transform their training function into one
that is viewed as a strategic part of the enterprise.
