Is Outsourcing Dead?
Getting past the hype to uncover the truth
by Meryl K. Evans, Editor, Connected Digest
In a TV
world where evil twins, amnesia and interrupted weddings are commonplace, soap
opera viewers must be a tolerant lot. By engaging in a healthy suspension of
disbelief, savvy viewers are transported to a dimension where such events
routinely create chair-gripping cliffhangers and daily suspense.

This Issue's Dilemma:
Torn between two teams
I was just handed a huge IT project for a very important and lucrative new client. If we impress them, it will be the first of many big projects to come.
I have two teams in mind to work on this project. The first team meets every deadline and communicates well with me and my direct reports. Their team leader is efficient and gets the most out of her team. Their projects meet expectations, but never exceed them. They are technically perfect but creatively uninspired.
The second team is headed by a dynamic and creative team leader who can wow and charm any client. His team wins awards right and left for their projects. It’s no secret, however, that they drive everyone insane by nearly missing deadlines and never communicating when they are running behind. Their creativity comes at a price.
Considering the importance of this new client and their product, which team should I choose? Should I value creativity or reliability?
— Glenn C., CIO
