Outsourcing is hazardous
Outsourcing is hazardous.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has some serious lessons for outsourcing.
On the 20th April 2010 there was a gas leak at the BP deep oil drilling rig, which was followed immediately by a series of explosions, and we all know the subsequent pollution disaster that is still playing out – killing ocean life, and in consequence destroying fishing industries in the Gulf.
And that’s just the quick version. Barrack Obama has had to miss the opening of the FIFA world cup soccer to deal with the crisis.
