Outsourcing can be a game-changer for your business, giving you access to talent and expertise without the overhead of full-time hires. But it comes with a catch: many business owners lack the technical know-how to manage or properly assess outsourced team members.
In my experience, I’ve been brought in to rescue more than one project from outsourced teams. One particularly memorable case? A project that was meant to last 6 months—but was still dragging on after 42 months. The cost of delay, both in time and resources, was enormous.
Have you had any experiences with outsourcing—good or bad? I’d love to hear how you’ve handled these challenges in your own business.
