Some knowledge work will be outsourced. That's inevitable. But other work will be outsourced only if you fail to compete

Going

  • Highly defined, noncollaborative programming
  • Commodity help desk (Microsoft Office help desk, for example)
  • Legacy maintenance (especially applications that will soon be retired)

Staying (at least for now)

  • Highly collaborative, creative programming
  • Project management
  • Requirements analysis and design
  • Business process consulting
  • Processes demanding ultra-high service levels or localization
  • Security risk processes
