When an outsourced technical function makes sense

When an outsourced technical function makes sense

This model is useful when a business lacks senior technical capability, an existing team needs experienced leadership, or an owner or operations team is carrying technical responsibilities alongside everything else. It also brings continuity where requirements are increasing, recruitment is difficult, systems are reviewed only before audits, or actions and documentation are not consistently maintained.

What changes in practice

What changes in practice

The agreed scope should make ownership, priorities, reviews and escalation clear. Records and actions can then be maintained through routine work rather than being revisited only ahead of an audit.
