We all know how this ends because we’ve seen it in other industries and companies. Execs get all excited about off-shoring jobs because of cost savings, but they never look around the corner. They just go through the tactical moves as opposed to implementing a strategy. Here’s a forecast, our already beleaguered and dysfunctional bank can’t afford a decline in the quality of tech, controls, and business, but that’s exactly what will happen. With the continued offshoring of roles, very quickly there will be reports of identity theft, malfunctioning tech, issues not being closed on time, and other declines to the point that the blame will shift to the offshore and they will be reduced. If any of these execs actually utilized strategy or paid attention to history, other than being penny-wise and pound-foolish, we would all be in a better place.
