3 IntroductionIntroduction

4 Outsourcing – A Hot Spot Outsourcing – A Hot Spot Outsourcing Is the Mainstream In Current World Economy and also a Hot Topic In Chinas Software Community

5 Chinas Opportunities Based on Atkearneys Global Service Location Index (GSLI) 2005, 2007 and 2009, India, China and Malaysia remained top three attractive destinations for global service outsourcing Facing with the global multisourcing trend, China has great opportunities to enter outsourcing market

6 The Project More Ambitious Targets The Project More Ambitious Targets Within 3-5 years Fostering 1000 More CMMI Level 3 Enterprises (300 CMMI Level 5) Attracting 100 MN companies to migrate their outsourcing business to China Building up 10 National Training Bases for Outsourcing Professionals Sponsored By Ministry of Commerce

9 To Leave Position Open to Await

10 State Council on Promoting the Development of the Service Outsourcing Industry [2009]9 [2009]9 StudyNewOutsourcingPolicy

11 20 Service Outsourcing Base Cites Named They are: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Dalian, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Haerbin, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xian, Jinan, Hangzhou, Hefei, Nanchang, Changsha, Daqing, Suzhou, Wuxi Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Dalian, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Haerbin, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xian, Jinan, Hangzhou, Hefei, Nanchang, Changsha, Daqing, Suzhou, Wuxi approved by the State Council in 2009 All these cites have built their Outsourcing Training centers or Institutes + Xiamen this year

12 A New Measure [2009]5 1.2 millionoutsourcing Target: Educating and Training 1.2 million outsourcing Professionals1 million jobs Professionals and increase 1 million jobs for university 5 (under) graduates within 5 years

13 Some Basic Questions ? What is Outsourcing Professional ? What Qualification we should require ? Can OPD rely on existing education system ? If not, what do we need ? How about traditional training system ? What we really need ?

14 IAOP OPBOK & COP Program Outsourcing Professional Body of Knowledge OPBOKCertified Outsourcing ProfessionalsCOP Growth in Outsourcing Profession Led IAOP to release Outsourcing Professional Body of Knowledge (OPBOK) and Certified Outsourcing Professionals (COP) program in 2006 However, the OPBOK is client-oriented

15 SSMEDSSMED Service Science, Management, Engineering and Design Towards the service economy, IBM even goes more step further to introduce the SSMED concept - Service Science, Management, Engineering and Design Do we need and how to follow it ? Do we need and how to follow it ? D

16 Conventional Thinking When talking the talent issue, a conventional thinking always expects much from universities, but its still not clear for us what differences between OP major and existing SE/IT majors ? Does mean to put in more additional courses ? Moreover, the university graduate is just an entry workforce, not solving whole HR problems in outsourcing business at all Chinese have a proverb: Distant water cant quench a nearby fire quench a nearby fire

17 What Lack Of ?! continuous education To improve the competence, we should also consider how to enhance skills of on-the-job employees, which is a continuous education issue, an very weak area in china compared with India senior and middle-level The main bottleneck constrained our development is mainly the lack in senior and middle-level professionals PMs Some foreign clients made a pointed remark to us: We just concern about how many PMs you can train, rather than programmers More master or doctor degree is not a strong solution here, so what else ?

18 How About Training System ? The booming economy has stimulated a learning wave among most Chinese people for improved work and life Class teaching is the most prevailing learning model in China However, high cost and resource constraints (qualified teachers, available time, facilities etc.) of the traditional training class restrain its development There is a high demand to invent an open learning environment for free access with much lower cost

19 Proactive Solution Required For all these challenges and problems, we need a proactive strategic solution, not only rely on reactive methods How we can do that ? We need some Out-of-Box thinking based on some recently emerging insights and trends

20 Some Key Viewpoints

21 Building Learning Society learning organizationthe knowledge economy learning organizationthe knowledge economy Today there is much talk of the learning organization, the knowledge economy and the likelearning organizationthe knowledge economy 'learning society The 'learning society' is an aspect of this movement to look beyond formal educational environments, and to locate learning as a quality not just of individuals but also as an element of systems lifelong learningLLL Since lifelong learning (LLL) is now essential to survival and "thrival," we should re-examine how can provide better learning outside standard educational systems which can be cost-prohibitive, if it is available at all

22 21st Century Education Reform In Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT): In order to create an enriching and dynamic society in the 21st century, it is vital to form a lifelong learning society freely choose learning opportunities at any time lifelong learning society in which people can freely choose learning opportunities at any time during their lives and in which proper recognition is accorded to those learning achievements. As one of the fundamental policies of educational reform

23 Lifelong Learning in Lisbon Strategy to define the goals for lifelong learning in terms of not only educational levels but also new jobs profiles and competences; to develop a new infrastructure for lifelong learning; to develop a new infrastructure for lifelong learning; to create a diversified supply of learning opportunities able to provide more customised solutions to create a diversified supply of learning opportunities able to provide more customised solutions: to develop the new instruments of e-learning and to explore the potential of the digital TV to turn schools and training centres into open learning centres to encourage companies to adopt learning organisations to shape the appropriate learning modes for each target group to spread new learning solutions for the low skilled workers to foster the various demands for learning and to create a demand-led system to foster the various demands for learning and to create a demand-led system: to improve the framework conditions for lifelong learning to develop a dynamic guidance system over the life course to renew the validation and recognition system to create compensations for the investment in learning to spread new financial arrangements in order to share the costs of lifelong learning between the various stakeholders and encourage the initiative of companies and individuals; to improve governance for lifelong learning

24 LLL Is Becoming a Necessity China has a large population but still lacks human resources Turning the burden of a huge population into an advantage for human resources will benefit economic growth This is a strategic choice for China that will help it gain international competitiveness in the age of the knowledge-driven economy It has become a pressing task for China to establish a lifelong learning system

25 Towards Professionals As many new technologies are constantly springing up and technical domains move toward more complicated, the division of work become more and more specialized and detailed, requiring competent professionals to govern and operate Especially for those critical positions with high economic impacts and safety-related, there are special requirements on professional skills and job responsibilities, causing the need of the professionalism

26 Why a Professional? IT has become an integral part of our society in our personal and working lives Systems need to be built that meet the required needs, without errors and on time/budget Information systems are complex and expensive, and hence require specialist skills Therefore, the demand on professionalism in the SE/IT domain is a natural trend

27 Peopleware & 4P Model 4P Tom DeMarco first declared the Peopleware concept and stressed on professionalism by a 4P model: Proficient Proficient Permanent Permanent Professing Professing Promise-Keeping Promise-Keeping

28 Steve McConnell On: Three Professionalisms Individual Professionalism Organizational Professionalism Industry Professionalism

29 Infrastructure of Mature Profession

30 Role of BOK Body of Knowledge Certification Self Assessment Roles & Career Development Curriculum

31 Internationalization and Standardization in HRD In a globalization era, global cooperation and development have became a routine and hence the matching in professional skills standard is utmost importance specially for offshore development The trend of HR internationalization and standardization is more obvious in recent time

32 ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 24773:2008 ISO/IEC 24773:2008 Software engineering -- Certification of software engineering professionals -- Comparison framework IEEE is the first to conform with its CSDA and CSDP certifications IEEE is the first to conform with its CSDA and CSDP certifications

33 ISO/IEC TR SWEBOK Extensive consensus process 5 rounds of review, 10,000 comments from more than 500 reviewers in 42 nations SC 7 experts participated in the IEEE consensus process Prof. Ju was the first round reviewer

34 Refresh SWEBOK Guide The SWEBOK Guide currently plays a prominent role in the maturation of software engineering as a legitimate discipline and a recognized profession around the world The refresh, set for a mid-2010 release, is intended to bring the SWEBOK Guide in closer alignment with IEEE Computer Society certification programs, further define software engineering as a profession, and help bridge the gap between industry and academia The refresh is essential to maintaining the documents usefulness. Keeping the SWEBOK Guide current with industry practices is essential to ensuring that it continues to be relevant to and used by all stakeholders The update was approved by the Computer Society Professional Practices Committee in 2008 Four new knowledge areas will be added to the 2010 SWEBOK Guide to address engineering economy, computing, mathematical, and engineering foundations

35 Revision of SWEBOK Guide IEEE CS will commence revision of SWEBOK Guide in 2009, completing in 2010 Lead editors: Pierre Bourque, Canada Alain Abran, Canada Juan Garbajosa, Spain Gargi Keeni, India Gargi Keeni, India Beijun Shen, China Beijun Shen, China June 2009 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report standards.computer.org/.../2009Spr/ _IEEE-CS_Liaison_Report_to_SAB.ppt

37 Teaching vs. Learning Class teaching is traditional school education model Long formal school education experiences cause it to be the most prevailing learning model However, it is not the best model for lifelong learning because class teaching is essentially an one-direction pouring model for which all of learning contents are pre- defined by the teacher, not well meeting personalized needs of varied learners

38 Learning To Learn (L2L) Pushon-demand Pull Therefore, we rather recommend to adopt a Self-Learning model for lifelong learning in which the learning is transformed from a rather fixed Push model to a flexible on-demand model (i.e. Pull) e-Mentoring Combined with the e-Mentoring/Coaching services and optional class room, it will be a more effective Bi-Directional learning & teaching approach Learning to LearnL2L More important, it can foster the capability for Learning to Learn L2L - a key skill for everybody in the Knowledge/Learning society

39 Push vs. Pull Learning

40 Learning On Demand (LOD) Needs driven more than technology driven Just in Time Curriculum Design have to catch up the needs of development – Just in Time e learning = learning is changing Moving learning from where it is provided to where it is needed Encourage a more active personalized learning environment From static and systematic learning guided by BOKs To more dynamic and flexible knowledge services It encourage a more active personalized learning environment

41 Learners and Lifelong Learning In the Knowledge Society, every learner is a lifelong learner To improve greater access to education and learning opportunities for all, ICT should be used for this purpose, in other words, it should be an e-Learning system THE STELLENBOSCH DECLARATION ICT IN EDUCATION: MAKE IT WORK (IFIP, Stellenbosch, South Africa, July 2005)

44 From eLearning 1.0 To 2.0

45 From Training To Knowledge Service

46 Service Inspiration To promote technology transfer, we released a technology resource website called IT Source ( in 2002 which quickly became an attractive IT website in Chinawww.ITURLs.com Knowledge Service Reuse Many young admired it A real help. After first surprise, we recognized such a fact that even we published only what we have collected our work help them saving the time for doing similar thing. we called it as Knowledge Service Reuse, that is, ones labour exempts others from repeated work Knowledge Services This inspired us to do Knowledge Services idea much comprehensivecollection greater value For technology transfer, we are just enough touch a little bit of terms and points. For knowledge transfer, we need a much comprehensive collection, maybe based on the domain body of knowledge, that will be a much greater value for learners

47 What Teacher Is ? As a university professor, I made a connection in the mind with the role of teachers in knowledge services who are responsible for well delivering the relay baton to help successors acquiring knowledge more quickly and much better

48 Knowledge Services In knowledge economy, knowledge is the first resource and knowledge is power ! Knowledge is not only a resource/asset waiting for mining, but also an active service Knowledge is not only a resource/asset waiting for mining, but also an active service Knowledge as a Service (KaaS) has been proposed as a knowledge delivery platform to facilitate human obtain right knowledge whenever and wherever needed to perform a task successfully, that means, to provide on- demand knowledge acquisition

49 Value Chain of KS

50 Building Public Knowledge Service Platform Knowledge is the important strategic resource Knowledge services are the fundamental infrastructure of future knowledge economy and major assurance of knowledge supply chain responsible for discovery, digging, mining, supply and use of knowledge treasure It needs a conscious, organizational and highly professional services Construction of knowledge public service platform can help reducing learning curves, promoting learning organizations and organizational learning, raising human capital to improve core competence of a nation or enterprise

51 Public Knowledge Service Platform (PKSP)

52 A Solution Framework Proposed ideal learning environmentone- stop5A The solution framework proposed by us is to established the so-called Public Knowledge Service Platform (PKSP) based on our years investigation, which will be provided as an ideal learning environment to support one- stop and 5A knowledge services for development of professionals: Anytime Anytime Anywhere Anywhere Anything Anything Anyway Anyway Any pace Any pace

53 Why PKSP + Because it can give full play of IT Advantages, through Internet, implement dissemination and nationwide sharing of knowledge resources and promote formulation of COPs It can realize the e-Knowledge and Intelligent KM, turning originally scattered and isolated information into organic knowledge, then transforming it again into an open and accessible information resource By fully utilizing centralized resources and sharing the common service functions of the platform, it can readily implement One-Stop service and integrate cross-domains knowledge for fostering interdisciplinary talents

56 Functions of PKSP PKSW CoPs OCL Platform Tech. Info. PKSP

57 Technology Transfer Center As technology transfer center, it is dynamically evolving to inform latest technical progress and reflect the leading-edge technology To do so, it is important to establish an independent team for information searching and services and a cooperative and participatory information network

58 e-Learning Center The e-Learning center collects and reuses existing knowledge assets developed to be shared over a more wide scope Although they still are in old learning model, its useful as a quick entry or area roadmap for most new comers

59 Knowledge Resource Center As an authoritative knowledge source, its development must have robust backup expertise to cover enough wide spectrum and degree of depth in its knowledge resources To ensure high quality and keep updated contents, a dedicated professional team for knowledge services is a must, including qualified domain experts participation

60 BOK-Based Solution Body of Knowledge One solution suggested for that purpose is to fully apply available Body of Knowledge of related domains (BOKs) as a scientific guide in collecting knowledge resources because the BOK is an essential achievement defined by the domain experts to specify what knowledge and skills should be mastered by professionals in that domain professionalisminternationalization standardization The HRD needs a quality standard and the BOK is a vital part of HRD reference framework towards professionalism, internationalization and standardization

61 Demand-Driven Approach The key for KaaS is having knowledge at the time of maximum opportunity Thus, the priority in the PKSP development is put on what demanded most from society development – alearner-centric – a learner-centric and where-needed approach

62 Focus on Three Main Domains Based on our own background, our development in PKSPs has focused on the following main domains: Software Engineering the Software Engineering domain urgently required by developing software industry; IT the IT domain urgently required by implementing state informatization strategy; New Product Development & Innovation the New Product Development & Innovation domain urgently required by building the Innovation-Oriented country

63 Building A Solid Foundation To gain a solid foundation for developing PKSP, we started our R&D project from systematically searching, collecting, studying, compiling and developing related BOKs 132 In the three main domains mentioned above, so far, we have gathered 132 associated BOKs in total

64 Knowledge Resources Repository This center is very similar to the web of knowledge, a centralized knowledge resources repository based on these BOKs Guided by the interested BOK, learner can easily access what knowledge points/areas he/she wants to know The resources repository provides an one- stop services just simply via a browser Its user likes entering a specialized reading room with very rich collections and can learn anything what he/she wants A Learning Paradise for IT Talents We refer this function as A Learning Paradise for IT Talents

65 Resources Collection Efforts A resource collection efforts have been launched in parallel with the first things first principle A dozen of special domains have begun to take sharp already, such as: SE domain SE domain: Software Architecture, Requirements Engineering, Project Management, Quality Management, Software Testing, SWEBOK and SSMED IT domain IT domain: ITSM/ITIL, Information Security Innovation domain Innovation domain: New Product Development, Innovation Methods, Knowledge Management

67 Self-Paced & On Demand All these resources will help users to fulfill a self-paced learning with on- demand knowledge acquisition

68 Consulting Center On-The-Job LearningJob Embedded Learning Contextual Learning Provide On-The-Job Learning/Job Embedded Learning/ Contextual Learning, a more interesting and valuable learning platform – a new direction of next-generation learning environment Performance Support Learn while working/learn by doing, learn for better job – Provide Performance Support Learning for Use, Use after Learning. For veterans, review what has been learned and learn something new. For new comers, a new model for internship. A high-motivation learning helps much deeper grasp It seems that a teacher, expert, master or knowledge base always accompanying you, providing online and real-time assistance

69 Learning Platform Cyberspace BOKs Learner Experts Resources Library LP Generator BOK Compilation KM Directory Editing OJL Platform

70 The Central Role of BOKs The Figure shows a development process the new learning platform in which you can find the related BOK will also act an important role that ensure the knowledge collected can fully cover all key points in the domain workflow And the keywords presented in all knowledge points will help for an ontology-based search

71 Communities Center This OJL platform has all advantages of contextual learning systems Community of PracticeCoP More important is that it can promote the construction of Community of Practice (CoP) open system It is really an open system and community All Learning Contents are Accepted Public and Daily Reviews and Examinations From Wide Practitioners A Dynamic Knowledge Repository Improved By Better Recommended Learning Materials BOKs Are Being Evolved By New Practical Issues and Challenges Identified The Beneficial CoP Members Are Expanding Over Time

79 The Outsourcing PKSP

80 A Prompt Response Outsourcing PKSP From Process Maturity To People Maturity As an active response to the demand on outsourcing professional development, we also promptly released our Outsourcing PKSP plan based on our R&D achievements under the flag From Process Maturity To People Maturity In the end of 2008, we have announced to release a prototype demo version of Outsourcing PKSP to the Shanghai Commission of Commerce and the Software Offshore Business Union of Shanghai (SOBUS)

81 Why Develop Our Own OPBOK After doing a comprehensive survey on training models for outsourcing professionals, we found quite scattered solutions. Even each one has its merits and specific views, lack of unified framework is obvious problem Many of them declared to be suitable for both clients and providers side, however, actually more clients- oriented after a careful examination In view of these problem, we tried to integrate these existing models for assimilating the best of them Now we have compiled a draft of OPBOK, which is provider-oriented and can be used in training of domestic outsourcing professionals The design guideline behind the OPBOK is as follows

82 Reference OPBOK Models

83 Insights Behind OPBOK Outsourcing Is Technology/Knowledge Intensive Job Outsourcing Is Service Outsourcing Is Business Outsourcing Is Management Practice Outsourcing Focuses on People Factor Outsourcing Is a global activity with new challenges Based on these recognition, we follow the framework of CMUs eSCM model to re-organize the OPBOK into five management, which avoid overlaps appeared in many existing models The new OPBOK integrates all merits of existing models and provides a good basis to match with them

84 OPBOK – Five Management Business Management People Management Technology/Knowledge Management Global Project Management Service/Operation Management

85 A New Starting Point A New Starting Point Even it is still a draft to be further refined, we can consider it as a starting point towards a perfect OP knowledge schema We are determined to make a real contribution to training business of outsourcing professionals After seeking comments and finalizing the manuscript, we will develop related training materials ASAP based on our OPBOK

86 Service Outsourcing is an Emerging Multidiscipline Need I-shaped, T-shaped, π-shaped people… – Stuart Feldman (Oct. 6, 2006) Business and Management Science and Engineering Economics and Social Sciences Math and Operations Research Computer Science & Info. Systems Industrial and Systems Engineering Business Anthropology Organizational Change & Learning Slide by Jean Paul Jacob

87 More BOKs for OPs Outsourcing is an emerging multidiscipline which needs T-sharp professionals, i.e. having both broad and deep knowledge: speaking the language of many disciplines, and being deep in at least one area A good OP knows not only software development, also has management experiences, can do a better service and even deep domain knowledge able to deliver innovative solutions to clients To make this happen, the outsourcing knowledge resources repository should gain backup from a wide variety of BOKs. Our 132 BOKs gathering would be a valuable asset for OPD
