The session will focus on the benefits of resourcing support services for schools versus traditional outsourcing options and will clearly contrast the two methods. Outsourcing is defined as: a client obtaining goods or service from an outside or foreign supplier, especially in place of an internal source. Resourcing is defined as: a partner providing a person or organization with complementing resources to include management, staff, materials, money, and other assets and services necessary for effective operation. Outsourcing typically involves wholesale surrender of management, human capital, and all other resources to a foreign entity or third party for the provision of stated services, whereas resourcing, through gap analysis, will identify critical needs and complement those areas of need for an organization to ensure those gaps are filled to achieve efficient, effective, and successful outcomes with less controversy, chaos, uncertainty and doubt, while maintaining organizational control, and collaborative partner involvement for the life of the relationship.
