Five unfiltered takeaways from the BPO panel discussion


Here's what the experts needed to say about what's working, what's broken, and where BPOs need to evolve.


1. Cost-cutting will not save you-innovation will


The days of winning customers exclusively through lower costs are over. The panelists stressed that business are now trying to find BPO partners who can drive innovation, improve service procedures, and provide long-lasting strategic value-not just provide services at a lower cost.


BPOs that fail to innovate risk becoming obsolete as services significantly seek automation, AI-driven efficiency, and customized know-how rather than simple outsourcing. The crucial takeaway? If your only value proposition is expense reduction, you remain in a race to the bottom.


- Conduct a service audit to identify areas where your BPO can include more tactical worth beyond cost-cutting.
