Reverse Outsourcing

Much is made of the outsourcing of customer service, IT technology, etc... The purchase of the Chrysler Building by financiers in Abu Dhabi etc etc ... To listen to the pundits we are selling our assets, including brain power to the highest bidder as we slide down the slippery slope to becoming a 3rd world country.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with the owner of one of the nation's largest supppliers of equipment used for the artificial insemmination of cattle and hogs.  His current largest markets are ALL offshore - translated Asia and South America.  With the weak dollar, customrs are clamoring at his doorstep.

The lesson, leadership means identifying opportunities and being first, fast and flexible to the market place.
