Best Practices in Negotiating Outsourcing Agreements
The goal of every outsourcing agreement is to ensure an organization receives high quality service at low cost. Achieving this goal can be a rigorous, time-consuming process. Carefully weighing risks such as hidden costs, complexity, confidentiality - to name a few - is essential to a successful negotiation. In this presentation, Chubb & Son will discuss best practices they have successfully implemented to develop and maintain beneficial outsourcing agreements, resulting in high quality at reduced cost.
