In this day and age, the eagerness of an organization to adapt and innovate is the most feasible predictor of its own success.\u00a0 Now, more than ever, the payback of being first to do the right thing, the right way, is significant. Alongside a precise sense of direction, the effective speed of an organisation\u2019s Agility Cycle will always be a foundational element for a successful long-term endeavour.<\/a>

In this article we will go through some key definitions and explore the impact\/role of Nearshore in the agility\u00a0of an organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A NEARSHORE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO AVOID AGILITY DEBT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An organization not focused on speeding up its Agility Cycle will start to accumulate \u201cAgility Debt\u201d – a compounding gravitational lag and another hurdle to overtake on the continuous time-to-market race for innovation.
 
“Agility Debt”<\/strong> is the price you pay for not being fast enough, an opportunity cost. It essentially consumes time, resources and energy-draining a company of its ability to innovate and grow i.e., to survive. The challenge is to find the right balance between speed, quality, savings and goodwill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT NEARSHORING AS A MAIN TALENT SOURCING STRATEGY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Several layers must be considered when throttling the Agility Cycle and a solid Talent Sourcing Strategy will always be its cornerstone. As Innovation dynamics evolve, so does the way talent is sourced, favouring closer sourcing locations<\/a>. Remote locations with large talent pools at low cost are no longer interesting for strategic innovation initiatives.
\u00a0
To define the best Talent Sourcing Strategy, organizations must consider 4 major intertwined factors:<\/strong>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Digital Strategy \u2013 transformational, a journey to be done close to business;\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Delivery Model \u2013 efficient and iterative, favouring real-time interactions;\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Skillset \u2013 making sure to adapt talent pools with the new demand;\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Socio-political Context \u2013 stable, granting the cultural match needed to endure.\u00a0
\u00a0
Furthermore, an organization’s Digital Agenda<\/a> (from Automation to Agile Methods, or Big Data and Cloud Strategy) must always be aligned with the right Talent Sourcing Strategy and location, focusing on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022 Balancing speed \/agility with cost and scale 
\n   \u2022 Favouring direct real-time interaction between teams 
\n   \u2022 Bridging cultural idiosyncrasies 
\n   \u2022 Matching technological landscapes\/vendor regions <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern organizations must nourish a strong ecosystem of partners, culturally aligned and with similar work ethic. Adopting a Nearshore approach<\/a> will allow organizations to rely on closely located partnerships, granting several direct benefits, such as:\u00a0
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Proximity\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Shared culture and language\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Aligned time zones for work and agility\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Better financial rationales\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0\u2022 Proximity for face-to-face sessions\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To effectively innovate, organizations must adopt efficient innovation processes and the right delivery models. Critical to ensuring a fast pace for this, is partnering with the right suppliers. Adopting a Nearshore Service Model acting as both a catalyst and agent for innovation, will structure the approach and ease the pathway to transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
