Eric Joseph, Sector Leader

Few industries are evolving as rapidly and dramatically as IT Services and Outsourcing. From the technology practices of large consulting companies, to providers of outsourcing, infrastructure services, and managed services, to the services arms of major software companies, these changes are making enormous new demands on leaders and top executives.

They must be able to manage increasingly complex P&Ls and a highly diverse labor pool in "best shore" delivery centers. They must be able to meet the unique demands of their company's ownership structure, whether it is publicly traded, private equity backed, or operates as a division of a larger global company. And they must find growth opportunities while managing to a lower cost of delivery mode.
