ICYMI ??, a nice recap from Outsource Accelerator.

?? Happy 20th Birthday to Us! ?? This month, #IAOP marks a monumental milestone—20 years of leadership and innovation! As we reflect on two decades of progress, let's throwback to when IAOP launched - at the 2005 Outsourcing World Summit - where the visionary Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor, delivered an insightful keynote. Reich explored the transformative shifts in the workforce and economy, emphasizing the evolution from routine jobs to roles demanding unprecedented creativity and analytical skills. Already in 2005, IAOP was addressing the complexities of outsourcing, underscoring its importance not merely for cost savings but as a vital tool for business transformation. Today, we continue to expand the frontiers of how outsourcing and global sourcing drive business success and societal advancement. ?? For fun, take a nostalgic dive into what made 2005 a groundbreaking year: https://lnkd.in/eh-Qz7p9 From our humble origins to becoming a cornerstone for global professionals, IAOP has consistently led with excellence. We're excited to continue setting standards, driving innovation, and cultivating a community that shapes the industry’s future. Join us on this journey at #OWS25 and be part of the next wave of #outsourcing and global #sourcing innovation: https://lnkd.in/g3xibfj #GlobalSourcing #IAOP20 #GBS #AI #automation #BusinessTransformation #Leadership #OWS25 Debi Hamill Michael Forbes Michael Corbett, DBA Kimberly Maneeley Nikki Dembicki Amanda Corbett Safdar, DES, PCA Kate Tulloch-Hammond Mark Voytek Sandy Frinton
