  • To EXL, abandon the leadership model
    Deepak Dhawan,
    chief of HR, EXL Services India talks, at the Nasscom & QAI colloquium series on Operational Excellence for ITES-BPO, about the seemingly right formula and model to manage the unwieldy “brat pack”, which has more muscle than brains and more potential than performance in the industry. >>
  • Linguistics and Culture: heart of BPO
    At the Limebridge Contact 2003 conference the deceptively simple but extremely important role of linguistics and culture in the success of a contact center was demonstrated. Linguistic skills can be developed, taught and acquired. But the more important point is the “culture” and cultural sensitivity. >>
  • IT and the art of leadership
    The fundamentals of leadership in the light of the scriptures and the ideals of the past. Ganesh Natarajan shares with us a peek into the leadership of today's IT world. >>
  • Six Sigma Will Raise India's Competitive Edge
    Models abound and there seems to be takers for every one of them, and new ones keep cropping up. However, 'business goal' is the most important driving factor that can justify any model. And any process model must have this in mind. This is true even at the industry level.

  • Managing Outsourcing Maturity
    If there is one thing on which the future of the IT industry lies, it would probably be outsourcing. Outsourcing has been a management tool for decades and has evolved from the 1960's from a 'time-sharing' model to giving out parts of IT operations. Entire IT operations were outsourced first in the 1980's, which extended into alliances. Today everything comes under the fold of 'IT enabled services.'

  • Six Sigma Hats for Continuous Profit Improvement
    For some time the concept of “Six Sigma” has been regarded with high esteem and great respect. Ever since Wipro Infotech Group adopted the concept whole-hog as a mechanism to take the enterprise on a ‘continuous improvement’ loop post CMM level 5, the awareness in the industry and expectation from the concept has grown exponentially.

  • IT Supported International Outsourcing
    Indian companies have been largely comfortable with software outsourcing – as service providers. With opportunities such as IT enabled services, business process outsourcing and contact center operations promising to open up new avenues, these companies seem to be in a position to tap into their experience to occupy all points on the value matrix. However, the ‘outsourcing’ cloud is undergoing rapid changes of its own, threatening to upturn all assumptions. A Finnish University, which has been studying the issue for almost a decade, has some insights on how organizations are evaluating ‘outsourcing service’ providing companies and countries.
