race to the bottom, or are we genuinely in the midst of change: Are service providers really selling what service buyers actually need?<br \/>\n<strong>Europeans v Americans:<\/strong> Who\u2019s outsourcing smarter and where can we improve to get to the As-a-Service Enterprise?<br \/>\nDemystifying all that Robo Hype: What is the realistic place for a Robotic Process Automation strategy inside the enterprise &#8211; and what should Service providers be doing to support it?<br \/>\n<strong>Digital Transformation:<\/strong> It&#8217;s really all about the business, stupid!<br \/>\n<strong>Beyond the Transition:<\/strong> How can service buyers and providers really share their risks to achieve longer-term gains?<br \/>\n<strong>Ending the Master\/Slave Model:<\/strong> Can service buyers and providers leverage &#8220;Design Thinking&#8221; to fashion a collaborative relationship with a common purpose, common values and jointly desired outcomes?<br \/>\n<strong>Getting beyond the Paperwork:<\/strong> What does it really take, in today&#8217;s environment, to execute and manage a meaningful, effective and lasting contract?<br \/>\n<strong>Getting past that &#8220;outsourcing career track&#8221; discussion:<\/strong> Is the outsourcing &#8220;profession&#8221; now part of a broader management capability?<br \/>\n<strong>The Message we have to Send Back
