Titel: The Learning Curve of Shared Understanding: a Balanced Approached to Knowledge Sharing for Successful Outsourcing.

While the economic crisis triggers a fundamental rethink about what(not) to outsource, any successful outsourcing deal will always require a good collaborative client-vendor-partnership. One key aspect of this is the knowledge sharing that is needed to create shared understanding between client and vendor. Often this knowledge sharing is either 'too little, too late' or 'too much, too soon', leading to a learning curve that is too flat or too steep. Based on the latest research in this area, I will present a balanced approach to what knowledge to share, when to share it and how to share it, so that the learning curve is just right.
