For an association executive or manager, the triggers to consider outsourcing may include:
Staff capacity - The inevitable cycles of under- and over-capacity of staff resources challenge all associations. Outsourcing a function or project can help smooth or even eliminate this burden, offering the flexibility to change, downsize or expand staff resources quickly and without the hassles associated with hiring and firing.
Focused expertise - Many association staff members are generalists by necessity. There are times, however, an association can address specific challenges and be in a position to seize opportunities more quickly and effectively by leveraging the specialized expertise of outside partners.
Resource allocation - Certainly, no association can succeed without effective deployment of human resources, technology and financial systems. Yet by outsourcing some of these operational requirements, an association can focus more of its attention and resources toward member programs, industry issues and other efforts that deliver value to members.
Freshness and objectivity - Especially during times of greatest challenge or opportunity, those shouldering responsibility can benefit greatly from an outsourcing partner that offers new and creative approaches and solutions that reflect a fresh approach.
