Cost pressures, AI, and talent shortages are reshaping the contact centre outsourcing landscape. If you’re involved in outsourcing decisions, we’d value your perspective at a confidential, independently facilitated focus group, followed by a delicious networking lunch. 

The discussion will be observed by a visiting delegation of senior BPO executives from Cape Town, South Africa, who are interested in better understanding the Australian market. Observers will not participate in the discussion.

Topics we’ll cover:

  • perceptions of different offshore destinations
  • how organisations research outsourcing locations and providers
  • the drivers and barriers influencing outsourcing decisions
  • what buyers value in outsourcing partnerships
  • how AI is changing outsourcing strategies, operating models and workforce requirements
  • your views on current offerings in the market and emerging opportunities.

Participants receive a $200 honorarium (or, if preferred, a $200 donation to charity).

Why participate?

  • Influence industry understanding of the Australian outsourcing market
  • Exchange ideas and share your experiences with other leaders
  • Receive a $200 thank-you for your time
  • Enjoy networking over lunch with peers and the visiting Cape Town delegation

What to expect

  • 11am–12pm: Focus group
  • 12pm–1pm: Networking lunch
  • Independent facilitator
  • Cape Town delegation attending as observers only during the focus group
  • No presentations or sales pitches during the discussion

Proudly supported by CapeBPO.
