Wisdom on Outsourcing: All the way from the Greek Mythology

Need quality user experience for your digital products? You have two options: create an in-house UX design team or commission a specialist agency.

The answer to this, and many other business questions, can sometimes be found in ancient Greek mythology. For proof, just consider the Iliad, Homer’s epic poem about the Trojan War, featuring Ajax, Achilles, and other great warriors.

So who are the real heroes? Not the warriors but the deities, also known as outsourcing agencies.

Think of Perseus. His team task was to kill Medusa, the snake-haired Gorgon with a petrifying gaze. He needed professional outside help which arrived from the experts on Mount Olympus. A mirrored bronze shield from wise Athena, winged sandals from Hermes the messenger, and a helmet of invisibility from Hades, ruler of the Underworld landed by his side. The next thing he knew, the project was complete.

In-house design creation always costs more because you need staff to train, feed, and water. Agencies are a more efficient way to use resources. You can switch them on, or off, at will. They provide what you need when you need it.

Some fear that no design agency can ever have the deep and detailed knowledge required to craft quality work. It is far better that an agency approaches your project with an open mind and then extracts the required information from your staff.

That’s the secret of good design: impartial research skills.

Impartiality, distance, and perspective are the benefits that outsourcing brings to your designs. A skilled agency can navigate through technical complexities, articulating your vision in a user-friendly way that resonates with your customers, potential clients, and employees.
