Source: In the News
Since its launch in 2007, Source has made a positive impression on key industry commentators, who've recognised and applauded Source's intention to 'create a better consulting market'.
We're proud to have generated a wealth of press coverage in national broadsheets (FT, Times) as well as the trade press (Supply Management, Consulting Times). Excerpts from some of this coverage follows, in addition to a full listing of all press coverage to date.
“Case studies are the poor relation of the consulting industry. Millions are spent each year by consulting firms on brand-building, advertising campaigns and writing books and articles. By comparison, case studies are rarely top of the corporate agenda, often pulled together in consultants’ spare time or as a rapid response to a sales opportunity. Yet case studies represent the consulting industry’s greatest untapped resource and could hold the key to maintaining growth in what promises to be an uncomfortable economic environment.”
Fiona Czerniawska, Financial Times, 17 November 2008
“Many institutions which have so far ignored the benefits of outsourcing are being forced to revisit it because of financial constraints and liquidity problems. Often they have failed to integrate and are still lumbering under a weight of legacy systems and processes and carrying both unnecessary variable cost and balance sheet assets.”
Fiona Czerniawska, Financial Times, 31 October 2008
