In light of new changes in the market, in supply as well as demand, IT offshore outsourcing may be interpreted as an articulate and complex tool for pursuing strategic goals which go well beyond the traditional objective of cost saving. Indeed, IT services today are required not only to make management processes more efficient and economical, but also to help increase a company’s capacity to create value, and thus gain a greater competitive advantage. From a strategic point of view, IT structures are increasingly crucial in the implementation of business, and are no longer mere support factors in value chain activities. At the same time, the increased potential of this tool has also led to a greater complexity of management, which can only be properly matched by a flexible, dynamic governing model. This paper will identify some critical elements in managing offshoring relationships aimed at the innovation and improvement of the value creation processes.

The Relationship

Is it possible to transform stone into a technological and innovative device? The meeting with one of the main stone transformers in Europe produced the intention of a disruptive operation that could affect the strategy of the whole company. A contagious singularity. By intertwining LEAN methodologies and the human-centric approach of design thinking, we mapped the value creation in the company activating a dialogue with the workers and the management, listening to people, asking for ambitions, discovering problems and the potential of production. This qualitative and quantitative analysis conducted with a multidisciplinary approach by designers, architects and marketing strategists allowed us to define a new method. We used it to design a platform that could let all the players express their potential to the maximum. This is how the group's research laboratory was born, with the aim of promoting the relationship between humans and stone through product innovation. With this goal, we coordinated the new team, developing technologies that would allow creating a more direct relationship between man and surface, making the stone reactive. The result was the first responsive kitchen ever.
