Dateline: China

DiamondCluster has released its new annual survey on ITO. The press release is a pretty good synopsis; the 20 page PDF can be downloaded here. I made a comment about the survey on the CIO magazine blog.

The first of my two-part series on IT sourcing options in China appeared in the current issue of BusinessForum China, the largest circulation English-language business magazine in China. An edited version of my article appears as an AlwaysOn Network "Letter from China" column.

SIMChina & CSIO

I will be giving a "main tent" presentation this Wednesday (the 15th) at the SIMChina conference in Beijing. (Sometimes this link works better.) My topic: Sourcing Business Capability Improvement: How to Succeed in Global Markets. I will also be giving a talk next Thursday (the 23rd) at the CSIO conference in Dalian. My topic: Opportunities & Business Characteristics of European & American Outsourcing Markets: How to Navigate the EU & US ITO Markets.

Frankly, they're the same slide deck, sans a few cosmetic changes. However, I will focus on management issues at SIMChina and marketing issues at CSIO. In a few weeks, I'll upload my presentation to the Y! Group site.

>>> If you're reading this and are planning to attend either SIMChina or CSIO, please look me up. If enough of us gather, we can have an informal BOF bash.

Cheers,
