What is co-sourcing?

This describes a relationship where the interaction between the supplier and the host organization is even more intimate than in normal outsourcing. This means that the host organization supplies staff and managers to the outsourcing deal, not as transferred staff but because of their specialist knowledge. Co-sourcing means both organizations having responsibility for the supply of resources to meet the objective. There is, however, some risk since there may be no redress if objectives are not met.
