Self-Assessments

We have made three of our popular benchmarking and assessment tools available to you for free. When you take a self-assessment the specific results of your assessments are emailed to you, showing how your agreement stacks up against the great relationships we have researched.

The results of your survey will only be revealed to yourself. When you participate in this self-assessment, the results are anonymously collected and pooled with others; results to help us track the overall state of outsourcing. We will be using the data to produce a white paper and other research articles that will be shared as part of our open source research library.

You may also share this link with clients, colleagues and suppliers you think will benefit from their own self-assessments.
