Many companies struggle to decide whether to handle a project in-house or outsource it to an agency. This challenge often involves balancing core competencies, budget constraints, and internal resources. What factors should influence your decision when leveraging external expertise to improve operational dynamics and competitiveness? 

According to Dr. Jeremy Weisz, several steps exist to effectively navigate this dilemma. Begin by assessing whether the task aligns with your business’s core strengths; if it doesn’t, consider outsourcing for the necessary expertise. Next, evaluate the long-term costs, including any potential hidden opportunity costs. Finally, take a closer look at your internal resources and their ability to manage the task. Sometimes, outsourcing relieves internal strain and leads to better outcomes, especially when specialized skills are required.

Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Dr. Jeremy Weisz, Co-founder of Rise25, about the decision-making process for outsourcing versus keeping projects in-house. They discuss key considerations such as cost comparison, the strategic importance of tasks, and how to leverage external agencies to build long-term relationships. Additionally, they touch on factors like client lifetime value, timeline management, and the impact on internal resources.
