Co-sourcing with a training outsourcing partner — when it works best.

Co-sourcing with a training outsourcing partner works best when internal teams want to retain strategic control while outsourcing execution or specialized expertise. It’s a flexible approach that blends strengths.

Why This Matters
Co-sourcing combines the strengths of internal L&D teams with external expertise. It’s most effective when programs require rapid scaling, global delivery, or specialized roles like virtual producers and facilitators. This model ensures flexibility, protects quality, and maintains control while reducing internal workload.

Example: InSync co-sourced a leadership academy with a Fortune 500 client. The internal team set learning strategy while InSync handled facilitation across global time zones.
