Who this helps

Get an experienced outside view on the issue costing attention, time or opportunity.

Organizations considering contractors, offshore teams, managed providers or a blended workforce and unwilling to trade lower rates for weak accountability.

Signs it is time to get advice

  • A provider is busy but the business cannot see dependable outcomes
  • Internal staff spend too much time correcting or managing external work
  • Roles were sourced before responsibilities and standards were defined
  • Knowledge and leverage sit with one provider instead of the business

What Moe examines

Drawing on CANWRK and distributed-delivery experience, Moe helps separate work that can be clearly delegated from decisions and knowledge the organization must retain. The review covers roles, interfaces, service expectations, quality evidence, communication overhead, escalation and provider dependency.

FAQ

Questions worth asking

Do you recruit staff?

The core service defines the model, roles and evaluation criteria. Sourcing support can be discussed separately when appropriate.

What should not be outsourced?

Critical decisions, sensitive knowledge and responsibilities that the business cannot effectively supervise usually need retained ownership.

Can you compare providers?

Yes. Moe can review proposals, interview providers and compare evidence against your actual requirements.

Can you stay involved after selection?

Yes. Ongoing advisory or implementation oversight can help establish reporting, acceptance and accountability.
