components, units or sub units
➢ A change in one system affects the
other subsystem
➢ Every system is influenced by
super system
➢ All systems along with their
subsystem must have some
common objectives
➢ As system is goal oriented and
cannot survive in isolation

business strategy in 1989 and became an
integral part of international business
economics in the 1990s

“only 27% of companies outsource to cut costs,


whereas 36% are innovators and 37% are growth-
seekers, using outsourcing as one of their tools to
optimize their businesses”.

The Process of
Management Consulting
Amity Business School

Consulting Proposal
▪ A consulting proposal is a detail
document wherein job/services that are
to be offered to the prospective client are
mentioned at length.
▪ Consulting proposal is prepared only
after a detail meeting between the
consultant and the client was conducted
regarding the issue/problem for which
client is seeking consulting services
▪ It must include all the key elements like
issue statement, project detail, approach,
methodology, terms, timeline and
conclusion.
Amity Business School

Essentials of Consulting Proposal


The proposal is made to convince the prospective client
regarding the expertise services of the consultant.
The proposal is a written document that helps in avoiding any
last minute confusion between the client and the consultant.
Therefore following should be considered while preparing the
proposal:
▪ Consulting Proposals should be concise, clear and
informative.
▪ The proposal must be tailored to the needs, goal and
expectation of the client.
▪ Methods, Deliverables, detailed steps and cost

Steps in Consulting
▪ Defining the problem/Issue : This ensures that consultants and the
clients are on the same page and catering in the same direction.
▪ Structure the Problem/Issue: Consider all the possible factors that
could possibly be influencing the situation and then structure the
problem accordingly.
▪ Prioritizing the issue: Identify the factors that are the most important
and relevant.
▪ Work Planning : Breaking down the project into steps with
specifying the deadlines and allocating talents to do the different
tasks.
▪ Conduct Analysis
▪ Synthesize Findings
▪ Recommendation
Amity Business School

Define the problem


“……….Defining the Problem is very Crucial and it should not
lead to solving the symptoms”

“Let’s say a company is struggling with profitability”


This issue could be very simply be defined as the company is not
having growth.
As per the above problem the goal may be to drive more growth.
But it may not be the actual problem and restricted growth may
be a symptom to some deep rooted problem.

Therefore defining the actual problem without jumping to the


solution is very crucial.
Amity Business School

Fact Findings
➢ Costs have remained relatively constant and are actually below
industry average so revenue must be the issue
➢ Revenue has been increasing, but at a slowing rate
➢ This company sells the product and have had no slowdown on
the number of units it has sold over the last five years
➢ However, the price per unit is actually below where it was five
years ago
➢ There have been new entrants in the market in the last three
years that have been backed by Venture Capital money and are
aggressively pricing their products below cost
Problem Statement Amity Business School

“The company is struggling to increase profitability due to


decreasing prices driven by new entrants in the market. The
company does not have a clear strategy to respond to the price
pressure from competitors and lacks an overall product strategy
to compete in this market”

On the basis of Problem Statement Hypothesis may be developed


e.g.
Company has scope to improve its pricing strategy for increasing
profitability
Company can explore new market opportunities unlocked by new
entrants
Company can explore new business models or operating models with
the help of advancement in technology

Leading to Solution Development

Multiple possibilities must be explored


➢ We can increase revenue or decrease costs
➢ We can increase revenue by selling more or increasing prices
Amity Business School

Implementation
The top-down approach, where solutions are implemented
by managers at a high level in the organization. This approach
often results in restructuring and re-engineering, and is a top-
down change where the results are expected to reverberate
down through the organizational levels of divisions,
functions, and individuals.

The bottom-up approach is implemented by employees at


lower levels of the organization, and rises to the top, until it
can be felt throughout the whole organization. In this type of
change implementation, employees are involved in the
process and provide their input, lessening resistance to
change.
Amity Business School

Developing Strategies & Tactical Plans


Strategic Plans
❑ Porter’s Five Forces: Barrier,
Buyers Power, Substitutes,
Competition
❑ 4Ps Product, Price, Promotion,
Place
❑ 4Cs: Cost, Customers,
Competition, Companies
❑ Scenario Planning: Planning
done as per the required
situation.
Tactical Plans: Amity Business School

Some of the tactical plan used in the management consulting


are:
• Beneficiary, Target group: who will actually benefit from
the project.
• Purpose: What purpose has to be accomplished by the
project.
• Result: Project must be result oriented, what results are
estimated to be achieved
• Development Objective: It defines a wider perspective,
framework. It tell about the ultimate or long term
objective.
• Output: What all delivered by the project and what all has
to be delivered in due course.
• Indicator of Achievement: Measurement of whether
objective is achieved and how successfully.
• Actions: A set of Actions to achieve and meet objectives
• Input: Resources to be utilized
Amity Business School

Subcontracting
Subcontracting traditionally refers
to the practice of bringing in an
outside company or individual to
perform specific parts of a business
contract or project.

It is the practice of assigning a part


of the obligations and tasks under a
contract to another party known as
a subcontractor. Subcontracting is
especially prevalent in areas where
complex projects are the norm,
such as construction and
information technology.
Amity Business School

Difference between Subcontracting and Outsourcing


The primary differences lie in the amount of control a company has
over the work process and whether the work could have been
performed in-house.

By outsourcing some functions, the company can reserve company


personnel for their key tasks. Outsourcing is supposed to provide a
cost-efficient solution.

The subcontracting company and the provider work closely


throughout the project, and the hiring party has a reasonable amount
of control over the process
In most cases, a company subcontracts another business to
perform a task that cannot be handled internally.
Amity Business School

Pricing of Consultancy

How do Consultants
charge for their
services?

Pricing is all about estimating your value as a consultant

Pricing is a big part of your how your audience perceives you

Consultants generally charge clients by the hour, day or project,


although some offer a retainer payment option.

The services you offer aren’t the only factor determining your pricing

organization
• through the long term transfer of the daily operations to an external
service provider.

profits in long term, outsourcing trend continues to grow
Amity Business School

Why is outsourcing gaining popularity ?

and private because :

Firstly, It allows an organization to have an entire function performed by a


provider specializing in that particular function, for instance, benefits
administration.

Secondly, the service provider specializes in the function, it can often do the
work more cost – effectively , freeing the business assets to be used for purposes
that produce income.

63
WHAT IS OUTSOURCING ?
Amity Business School

Outsourcing is a practice utilized by various organizations to decrease costs by exchanging parts of


work to outside providers as opposed to finishing it inside.

Outsourcing is a compelling cost-sparing technique when utilized appropriately. It is now and again
more reasonable to buy a good from organizations with than it is to produce the good internally.

64
TYPES OF OUTSOURCING
Amity Business School

• Conventional outsourcing
• Greenfield outsourcing
• Tactical outsourcing
• Strategic outsourcing
• Transformational outsourcing
RECENT TRENDS

Using new technology has increased the fear of security and privacy.

Away from multiple vendors-One of the major concerns behind using multiple vendors is that
project delivery can be delayed.

Up in the cloud-Technology is and will always continue to be the trendsetter in the outsourcing
market.

Socially responsible outsourcing-Socially Responsible Outsourcing (SRO), it’s also known as


Impact Sourcing. This model is built on the basis of social responsibility. Its main focus is on
delivering quality service at lower cost with lower employee attrition rates, while employing workers
in BPO centres all over the world.

ISSUES IN OUTSOURCING
Amity Business School

• Ability of the service provider to deliver quality of products or services.


• Protection and security of organizations internal data in hands of the service provider.
• Risk profile of the outsourced service provider.
• Maintenance of honesty , transparency in service providers dealings.
• Service providers compliance with legal regulations.
• Reliability in getting delivery of services and products on time.
DARK SIDE OF OUTSOURCING Amity Business School

Outsourcing business activities is a common phenomenon today. Companies are directing their
resources only in their core business and the rest of the activities are being carried by a third
party. In addition to this, the lack of expertise in a firm may be another reason for
organizations’ selecting an outsourcing company.
DISADVANTAGES OF IN HOUSE HIRING
Amity Business School

• Finding efficient candidates in small cities would be difficult.


• It is time consuming process as the organization would have to cater to all functions
and it will burden them with more responsibilities.
• It would lead to in breeding the organization.
HR OUTSOURCING BASICS Amity Business School

While deciding whether HR outsourcing is right for the company three questions should be
answered.

Q1. Is the company comfortable letting someone else handle its HR functions?

Q2. Do the company have dedicated HR representatives or adequate resources to


manage its HR needs?

Q3. Can the business afford an HR outsourcing firm?

75
HOW WILL BPO HELP IN THE
BUSINESS PROCESS ? Amity Business School

In an outsourcing implementation , the BPO will :

1. Automate activities that the client organization previously did manually

2. Centralize activities that were previously spread across the organization

3. Standardized the processes

4. Provide the benefits of a technology infrastructure

5. BPO’s take advantage of their scale and negotiating powers with their vendors.

6. They also provide deep expertise, research and innovation in the targeted field.

76
Amity Business School

• So, To make financial sense we need to perform cost analysis in order to know whether to keep
process in house or turn it over to a BPO provider.

• Even when an outsourcing solution appears to be more costly or time consuming , a


comprehensive cost benefit analysis may prove it to be the best solution in the long run , to
meet the needs of your business.

77
WHAT IS "COST-BENEFIT" ANALYSIS?
Amity Business School

• Decision-making technique that involves explicitly considering the position outcomes


(benefits) as well as the negative outcomes (costs) of different decision alternatives.

• It is used to make decisions more consistently, systematically and correctly.

• It collects all available information about the costs of an HRM proposal , identifies benefits
such as cost savings and reduced turnover , and projects whether the proposal will be cost-
effective.

• The objective is to ascertain the soundness of any investment opportunity and provide a basis
for making comparisons with other such proposals.

78
WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS DOES COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS
ATTEMPT TO ANSWER? Amity Business School

• Is the return to our expenditures on HRM programs adequate to justify these investments?

• Is it worth investing some resources to improve the quality of our human resources?

• How can a manager choose between different options for managing human resources
(such as training versus selection, or two different compensation systems) in a way that
maximizes the return to the investment?

• How can we better determine when we know enough to make a decision, and when to
invest resource in better measuring/forecasting human resource program outcomes?

79
COST BENEFIT ANALYSISAmity Business School

Step 1 : Accurately, define the business process that the organization would like to outsource.

• It begins with clear definition of the analysis will accomplish.


• A clear understanding of the process to be outsourced will help the company to ensure that the
services proposed by BPO provider matches the business outcome expectations .

For example ,” the purpose of this analysis is to find out the cost – effective method of
administrating the employee benefit program “

80
Amity Business School

Step 2 : Calculate the in- house costs that could be avoided by outsourcing.

• To analyze what it currently costs the organization to have the function completed.

For example : if a function is currently performed by an employee , you would provide the direct
costs ( salary , benefits , taxes and so on ) and the indirect costs ( office space , insurance and so on )
.And then record the total current costs.

Step 3 : Calculate the total costs of outsourcing.


• The starting point is the BPO provider’s bid price.

For example : organizations may have costs for administering the outsourcing engagement , such as
processing change orders and monitoring and evaluating the provider’s performance.

Step 4 : Subtract the costs of outsourcing from in –house costs to determine savings .
• When the analysis is complete, the results is a quantifiable recommendation for the action that is in
the best long term interest of the organization.

81
Amity Business School

Example : A single-year cost analysis


Costs of an in-house business process

Cost Categories Costs Costs Avoided by Outsourcing

1.Salaries/Wages/Benefits 3 crore 2.5 crore

2. Furniture/Equipment 1 crore 1 crore


3. Supplies 2 crore 1.5 crore
4. Software 2 lakh 1 lakh
5.Utilities/Communications 15 lakh 10 lakh

6. Facility Rent/Lease 1 crore 75 lakh

TOTAL 7 crore 17 lakh 5 crore 85 lakh

82
Amity Business School

Costs of outsourcing
Cost Categories Costs
1. Vendor’s Bid Price 2.5 crore
2.Contract Administration 20 lakh
3. Transition Costs
- Accrued vacation benefits 10 lakh
- Accrued vacation benefits 15 lakh
- Penalties for early lease termination 7 lakh
4. Revenue from Sale of Unused 7 lakh
Assets
Total 2.5 crore 59 lakh

In-house costs avoided by outsourcing - Total costs of outsourcing = Cost savings


of outsourcing
83
CONCLUSION Amity Business School

• When considering outsourcing the company must weigh the benefits and losses/ risk and put a
value on your current in house program from an internal customer service perspective as well as
competitive advantage it presents.

• Cost – benefit analysis is just a tool to create a framework for making outsourcing decision.

• Doing a cost – benefit analysis enables decision makers to account for the full spectrum of
budgetary issues that comprise any outsourcing project.

• Using both quantitative and qualitative measures, the analysis helps to prove, or disprove,
most effectively that an outsourcing project supports corporate goals and outcomes.
