Horses for Sources – Giddy Up!
Horses for Sources has recently delivered a provocative and engaging discussion on innovation in outsourcing – I have contributed to the discussion in a small way, and thank Phil Fersht (the brain behind the blog) for accommodating my views.
However, this post is not focussed on that discussion, but rather on Horses for Sources and Phil Fersht. In the most difficult economy in decades, and in the face of ever-increasing consolidation in the research industry, Phil has decided to take his blog from spare-time to full-time, and has re-launched Horses for Sources as a research firm focused on the sourcing world. He has assembled a stellar cast of contributors, and is already demonstrating that there is room in the sector for the services and the perspective he and his new colleagues offer. I am confident that we will see true innovation in the way analysts examine, report on and engage with the sourcing industry emerge from this new venture.
The Bottom Line: I commend Phil for having the courage of his convictions, welcome his firm to our industry, and look forward to the next few laps around the track. Phil Fersht IS an innovator in the outsourcing sector.
