Every engagement since 2011 started with a question, asked almost word for word by a workforce planning leader, an HR executive or a CEO. This is one of them:
“We need to work on offshoring. Or nearshoring. Or own-shoring. Or premium-shoring.”
What the Question Really Asks
Where should which work sit, own centre or partner, and what does the transition really cost.
How OXYGEN Answers
Location scenarios simulated end to end: ramp-up curves, knowledge transfer time, cost trajectories, retained-organisation design. Behind it, a founder who personally built offshore centres from zero, including a 5,000-person site.
