How Vested Outsourcing Benefits Business

Vested outsourcing is an innovative way to create value and get sustainable results through business relationships. Kate Vitasek of Supply Chain Visions and the University of Tennessee’s Center for Executive Education recently presented at APQC’s Supply Chain Community Call about how organizations are using a vested approach to achieve award winning results by redefining how they “win” in their business relationships.

In the presentation, Vitasek gives an overview of the vested outsourcing approach and its five rules . She also provides examples of how companies are benefitting from vested outsourcing, including:

  •    how P&G and Microsoft are creating award winning results from their business partnerships; and
  •    how McDonald’s inspires their supply chain suppliers to invest millions for innovations such as the Cryogenic freezing and patents that double production capacity.

The Community Call recording and slides are available to both APQC members and nonmembers.
