Ensure the preparation is done before analysis: access the latest business, functional and sourcing strategies and goals and ensure they are specific enough to judge and direct the opportunity; ensure the business and its functions are properly identified; and perform a high-level analysis of whether outsourcing will contribute to strategic goals, taking into account services, challenges and markets both now and in future, proceeding only when all prerequisites are met and with formal leadership approval of the outcome before each phase. Success factors: up-to-date business, functional and sourcing strategy documents (or the gap raised with leadership), leadership that understands and supports the potential benefits, early opportunities in line with strategy and challenges, and awareness that outsourcing calls for change management and transformation of the business. Outputs: validated early initiatives and a leadership decision to continue.
