We are part of the larger umbrella organisation, the European Outsourcing Association (EOA), and we are delighted to provide you with more information regarding our 2014 NOA Symposium & EOA Awards. The NOA is passionate about excellent outsourcing and throughout our 26 years have remained committed to advancing the outsourcing profession and improving and growing the outsourcing industry, in the UK and globally, by driving awareness, education, standards and thought leadership. As such, each year we bring the community together for a one day Symposium in London. The NOA Symposium is the largest conference in our calendar attracting 200+ outsourcing professionals representing the interests of companies and individuals which span the breadth of the outsourcing industry: buyers, suppliers and advisors.

Furthermore, this year the EOA Awards are coming to London!

INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS (1.50pm – 2.50pm)
1.50pm Breakout 1 Benchmarking beyond price
For many companies, benchmarking is used as an essential tool to ensure pricing remains competitive in long-term outsourcing contracts. However, as outsourcing contracts continue to deliver much more than mere cost savings, benchmarking must too, and as such benchmarking now needs to go far beyond price. - How to capture value beyond cost from my existing outsourced relationship? Which components of the operating model (e.g. solution, delivery metrics, contractual
T&Cs) need to be benchmarked with market? - How to approach benchmarking and at what level of aggregation (e.g. contract level or portfolio level or enterprise sourcing level)? - To what extent are my outsourcing relationships aligned to market best practice? - How can I simplify my outsourcing partnership and what are the potential obstacles? - How do I better align my service provider’s interest to my business needs? - How can I take my outsourced relationship to a strategic level?

Chair: Chris Halward, Director, NOA Speaker: Punit Bhatia, Director, Global Business Services, Deloitte
1.50pm Breakout 3 Exit Management Techniques
Research suggests that companies are much less confident about exiting outsource agreements than in entering into them both in terms of strategy and process. The ability and confidence to do so is a key part of ensuring that outsourcing delivers the right solution from the right provider at the right time.

3.40pm 21st century outsourcing – better service, leaner margins
For many providers, getting outsourcing work – and keeping hold of it – increasingly requires a commitment to deliver or improve already high service levels, in most cases at a lower budget. Plus, with outsourcing contracts changing, customers now expect savings to be ongoing and shared. This session will explore how increasing the operations management capability within an organisation can help providers juggle the need to reduce costs while maintaining the quality of their services and increasing the speed of delivery. Drawing on practical experience we will explain how this approach enables providers to improve their operations through the way they plan, control and deliver their services. Chair: Martyn Hart, Founder & Director, NOA Speaker: Roberta Tomasoni, Lead Analyst, AOMi Centre of Excellence and Elliott Tiernan, former Senior Operations Manager at Xchanging, QBE and now Delivery Director at AOMi
