Achieving Service Delivery Objectives in an Outsourced Environment
30 April, 2012 | (01 hr)
Committing to a five-plus year contract with an outsourcing service provider requires a certain leap of faith. Technologies, company management and objectives, and the economic environment are constantly changing and require flexibility and innovation. Yet, probably the single most frequently heard critique of providers is that they fail to bring innovation. Moreover, outsourcing can have the effect of calcifying through a contract for the existing service delivery and making change more difficult.
Eric Galvin, Vice President of Call Operations and Strategy at Cigna, will address the topic of how to achieve one’s service delivery objectives within a complex, multi-vendor, in-sourced and outsourced environment. Eric is responsible for customer and healthcare professional customer service and other back-office operations for Cigna with an internal workforce of 2,000 employees and more than 10 vendors at different points in the value chain.
In viewing, participants will:
- explore ways to add flexibility and scalability to your outsourcing engagements in order to be prepared for changing business needs;
- understand how to consistently achieve the service delivery goals you and your organization require;
- uncover ways to find value and growth opportunities well beyond the scope of the contract; and
- discuss how to avoid the most common pitfall of outsourcing—lack of innovation.
Audience: This webcast is intended for senior executives involved in outsourcing, procurement, sourcing, finance, strategy, and operations.
