Book excerpt: Have you considered how outsourcing can help build your organization’s learning capability? Organizations in search of solutions to a variety of organizational problems have turned their attention more and more toward outsourcing. The workplace learning and performance (WLP) function seems to be among the first functions outsourced when organizations look to new ways of better managing and lowering fixed costs. It is possible to improve learning in an organization with fewer WLP professionals on staff and reduced training budgets. Outsourcing can help. Advantages of outsourcing include having ready access to leadership and practical implementation expertise from a wide variety of vendors reducing dramatically the cycle time for developing learning having access to greater objectivity for understanding the learning needs of the business client and for developing learning that will meet these needs reducing fixed costs. Today, successful organizations use outsourcing to build learning capability while also reducing costs. And, they increase their business value by increasing their ability to learn. ASTD is proud to present the 19th book in the IN ACTION series: 12 cases that provide real-life, cutting-edge lessons from professionals and organizations that have put these truths about outsourcing into practice.
