As you might imagine due to the fact that Next Level Purchasing is run by purchasers, we do a lot of oursourcing. We\u2019re not the size of a General Motors or an ExxonMobil, so when we have a need for a task to be completed, we ask ourselves an additional question. That question is:<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this service going to be ongoing or is it a short-term need?\u201d<\/p>\n

Most of the services we buy are short-term in nature: graphic design for a project, voiceovers for our training, etc. So, we usually outsource.<\/p>\n

If you are a smaller organization adopting the questions in the article, you may want to add this question to your list as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
