The National Outsourcing Association has launched its latest Outsourcing Yearbook, the annual compendium of outsourcing insight.

The 2016 edition features:

• The NOA’s own Outsourcing in 2020 research, looking into what trends and technologies will impact on the sourcing industry between now and 2020

• Contracting research provided by the law firm Eversheds, studying how buyers of outsourcing can best prepare for a mismatch between expectation and supplier delivery

• A legal round-up of 2015 provided by law firms active in the industry

• Predictions for the future provided by leading industry analysts

• A whole host of articles and video interviews, covering a wide range of future-focused topics, provided by some of the most prominent organisations from the buy and supply-side

• A directory of active outsourcing service providers

The NOA has emphasised that now is a pivotal time for those working in the outsourcing industry, with changes that took place over the last 12 months surpassing the number of changes seen throughout the last 12 years.

The 2016 Yearbook has been compiled to help those organisations and individuals determine what the future has in store for them, and how to adapt accordingly.
