The Professionals
Are YOU one of The Professionals?
The Professionals is a series of Q&As with buy-side outsourcing and business transformation practitioners looking at some key learnings from their careers. We're reaching out to professionals from around the world and across the business spectrum to bring Outsource readers lessons right from the front line - or, more accurately, from the huge variety of front lines that make up the war for professional success.
And if you're a buy-side practioner we want to hear from YOU. If you're interested in sharing your learnings - and maybe winning yourself an iPad and a framed bespoke cover of Outsource magazine - see our series entry page (and feel free to point colleagues and acquaintances there too, of course). If you just want to learn from the journeys of others, of course, no problem: see the Q&As below...
