Opportunities in Outsourcing

Michael Corbett, Executive Director IAOP

Michael F. Corbett

Outsourcing often gets confused with offshoring - they're not the same.

Michael F. Corbett is one of the best-known experts in the field of outsourcing and Executive Director of The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals. IAOP is a global, membership-driven organization that is shaping the future of outsourcing as a profession and as an industry.

According to an association article titled Welcome to Outsourcing, “Outsourcing applies to every facet of today's corporation and at every level. It is a central management tool for the fundamental redesign of America's businesses. Many believe that outsourcing must be embraced by corporations if they are to compete successfully in today's global economy. It is a rethinking of what an organization is and must do itself to deliver all of its promises to customers.”
