Costs include hidden costs like pension, redundancy expenses, national insurance and so on. All other things being equal, you can address these costs as follows: | ||
*{{wasteprov|Downgrading}}: Reallocate work from more expensive units to cheaper ones. So, the negotiation process moves from [[legal]] to the [[documentation unit]], to [[operations]]. | |||
*{{wasteprov|Relocation}}: move work to a lower cost jurisdiction where a like-for-like personnel are cheaper: moving document management from London to Birmingham, Belfast, Madrid, Krakow, Cape Town or Bangalore. | |||
*{{wasteprov|Outsourcing}}: Contract work out to third party service providers who may manage their own resources in lowe rcost jurisdictions, but in any case can be switched on and off easily | |||

A square foot of office space in Bangalore is 75% chearper than one in London. So - if you have to have a personnel-heavy process then , {{wasteprov|all other things being equal}}, it makes sense to move it. | A square foot of office space in Bangalore is 75% chearper than one in London.

*{{wasteprov|Downgrading}} won’t affect your real estate spend | |||
*{{wasteprov|Relocation}} will (but don't forget the one-off costs of having to acquire new premises) | |||
*{{wasteprov|Outsourcing}} will (but you will pay for this through your service fee; but the ouytsourcer is incentivised to locate itself in the cheapest possible place). | |||

{{wasteprov|Systems}} permitting communication and collaboration between the {{wasteprov|Personnel}} involved in a negotiation is a fixed {{wasteprov|cost}} (in that is not so much a function of ''{{wasteprov|time}}''). But not the costs here increase where you are {{wasteprov|relocating}} or {{wasteprov|outsourcing}} parts of the workflow. | |||

Ink, paper, pens, yellow stickies. In the scheme of things de-minimis, but you’d nonetheless be horrified at the total cost. Does technology obviate some of these issues, or amplify them? It's the [[technology paradox]]. |
