David Poole, Process Protagonist and Prognosticator<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Many of you will remember one of the legends of BPO, Deputy\u00a0David\u00a0Poole, who’s spent much of his career fighting BPO crime on the streets of Chicago for Capgemini (where he actually rolled up with the job title “Deputy”). \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was also a founding member of PwC’s global BPO business prior to IBM acquiring their operations, having made a significant contribution to the development of the global BPO industry, crafting several major global engagements since the early \u201890s.<\/p>\n

David’s thought to have skipped town, after a shootout at the Outcome-based Corral and is rumored to be trawling the streets of London seeking out errant processes in dire need of transformation. In the meantime, we managed to track him down somewhere in the ethernet to share some of his thoughts on where the BPO market is heading.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, here’s Part I, where he\u00a0discusses\u00a0future of BPO having less to do with outsourcing<\/em> and much more to do with venturing<\/em> – a blurring of the lines between the client and the provider…<\/p>\n

Venturing \u2013 Sharing of risks and rewards between clients and providers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine a World where providers actually put their money where their mouths are.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mean just putting their margins at risk (tied up with so much legal jargon there actually isn\u2019t any risk).\u00a0 I mean really<\/em> working out the added value they can provide and taking a share of that to create a true win \u2013 win.\u00a0 This will be a world where providers will do as much due diligence on their clients as clients do on them to analyse and dig out the true joint opportunity.\u00a0 Sound familiar?\u00a0 Well certainly not in the BPO World we know today, but much more like the venture capital world.\u00a0 In fact, perhaps Business Process Venturing has a nice ring to it?<\/p>\n

So far, providers paid by results or so called business outcomes is little more than jargon, and frankly the evidence of this in practice is pretty slim, perhaps with the exception of more knowledge-based and directly financially measurable processes like in collections or procurement.\u00a0 The lucrative BPO market of the past few years has been extremely cosy and risk averse but this is all about to change.<\/p>\n

I predict a new breed of deal and provider will emerge in the coming years, sending shivers through the current providers risk management processes but forcing the type of change and commitment to process excellence that the buyers always thought they were getting but in fact were not.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a bad thing for the providers either because it creates the opportunity for the best ones to truly monetise the return from the investments they have made in processes, analytics, technology and facilities.\u00a0 This is because the overall influence providers will have over the delivery in this much more collaborative environment will be far greater and less bounded by the restrictive contracts we as an industry have over time developed to protect clients from the big bad providers.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more of Poole’s patter, which pinpoints the potential of virtualized delivery, utility delivery models and the end of consulting as we know it (gasp)…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
