--Harold D. Stolovitch, emeritus professor, Universite de Montreal, principal, HAS Learning and Performance Solutions and author, Telling Ain’t Training and Training Ain’t Performance
"In step-by-step details, Judith Hale outlines how to make the right decisions about outsourcing securing the proper agreements and keeping the process on track. In an easy-to-read format with figures and charts, this is an indispensable tool for those involved in outsourcing."
--Jack Phillips, chairman, ROI Institute, Inc.
"The charts, tables, and guidelines are superb resources for both sides of the relationship, and Hale’s many examples let us learn from others who have traveled this potentially treacherous path before. Outsourcing Training and Development is the perfect map!"
--James J. Hill, Jr., CEO, Proofpoint Systems Inc.
"Buy this book and use it. What I like most about the book is that it does not paint outsourcing as the panacea that some might think that it is. Like anything else, outsourcing requires hard thinking, planning and managing. Judy Hale gives you that and much more."
--William J. Rothwell, Professor-in-Charge, Workforce Education and Development, The Pennsylvania State University
