Are you seeing an increased demand from clients to outsource?

We are seeing in some regions that more clients are looking to outsource, including people and assets (trends similar to 2009/ 10), in an attempt to optimise costs. Are others seeing the same? Or are you seeing something different?

Interesting question. I have seen some, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a trend - at least for the time being. I find this will vary a lot from industry to industry as well as different according to the size of the company. Something to definitely be prepared for though.

There's an interesting recent article from McKinsey related to the topic, maybe you find it interesting:
