Outsourcing readiness checklist — how to assess if your L&D team needs support.

An outsourcing readiness checklist helps L&D leaders evaluate whether internal teams have the bandwidth, skills, and resources to deliver hybrid learning at scale. It guides decisions by highlighting gaps in facilitation, design, and program management.

Why This Matters
A readiness checklist helps leaders pinpoint resource gaps, delivery risks, and engagement challenges. By clarifying where external support will add the most value—whether in facilitation, production, or end-to-end managed services—organizations can scale hybrid learning confidently and protect both quality and ROI.

In practice: InSync’s Readiness Checklist helped one client identify facilitation and logistics as their biggest gaps. They outsourced those functions while retaining strategy, striking the right balance.
