While many offshore centers have been around for decades, high performing offshore centers seem to be about as common as common sense―which seems to be quite a rare commodity.


Following are seven tips for operating a high performing captive offshore center.

Tip#1: Sense of self. First, the center/unit must have a sense of self. In other words, it must be structured in a way that allows the members to view themselves as an individual and unique entity unto itself. If the offshore center serves many different parts of the Parent Corporation and/or different clients through various regional organizations, the sum of all of the parts must still come back to the middle.

Tip#2: Sense of belonging/importance. Despite needing a ‘sense of self’ high performing centers have at their very core strong unifying themes and aggressively promote a sense of belonging with other corporate entities that goes beyond the barriers of its own organizational domain. To be truly successful there must be line of sight to higher-level management in the parent organization and a clear mission that is fully supported by executive leadership.

Tip#3: Do not compromise on center management. When hiring the center management team in the offshore location, be very particular. There are many schools of thought regarding the use of expats. I tend to lean toward using an expat team to start things off and get the camisetas joma futbol culture established, then gradually replacing expats on a selective basis with strong local management over time.

When going the expat route, don’t assume that a common heritage automatically guarantees success. In some cases that I’ve seen, individuals who were Indian by birth but removed from the continent for many years put into local management teams only to see those individuals revert to very old-school Indian management techniques. While those techniques might have worked well twenty or thirty years ago, they no longer do because in-country management styles and processes are considerably advanced over techniques applied twenty of more years ago.

Tip#4: Appreciation for different cultures. In addition to building a ‘sense of belonging’ in a captive offshore center, it is important that the head of the business unit to which the offshore center reports, also be evolved in their thinking about other countries and cultures. Selection criteria for potential expats need to include additional attributes like a genuine open-mindedness to different cultures in general but to the target culture in particular. Both the parent organization leader and expat manager must be on the same page and agree that they are not going to run the business as if it existed in the home country and will seek to understand the best ways to blend the core values and cultures of the parent and local companies.

Tip#5: Blended culture. In addition to having an understanding of the local culture, a key objective should be to establish a blended camisetas joma futbol culture within the center. Similar to a joint venture, you want to utilize the best of each organization and throw away the parts that don’t work.

If you start a captive offshore center that is entirely operated under the local culture, it will be a very foreign environment for employees of the parent company that come to work in or visit the captive offshore center. The reverse is likewise true for employees of the captive center when they go on assignment to other locations of the parent company. Perhaps of greater consequence is the risk of having clients visit the captive center and leave with the feeling that the location and its' team are too ‘different’ or ‘foreign’ and thus more difficult to work with than other captive centers where they feel more comfortable. The objective again, is to work to develop a blended culture camisetas joma futbol that embraces and nurtures the best of both worlds.
