I think this took me about 1:15, which again is too damn long. I do hope that under the pressure of the test, I will think and write faster (this usually does happen, in fact). I had to refer to my notes for the incremental outsourcing drivers, which are already fading away – I’m going to have to nail those drivers. The large scale outsourcing drivers are easier for me to remember. I’ll have to either memorize the incremental drivers or think of some model to stuff them in.

I want to integrate the things that Applegate and Broadbent say to outsource and not to outsource. I forgot some of each. To outsource: infrastructure, business app integration (legacy management and new app integration) , strategy services (think: Irene). Not to outsource: IT leadership, IT architecture, developing tech, business process engineering, vendor management.

The offshoring section is pretty damned weak.
