The Certified Outsourcing Professional (COP) designation distinguishes individuals as leaders in the field of outsourcing.  It powerfully demonstrates that they possess the experience and knowledge required to design, implement, and manage outsourcing initiatives that have a high probability of achieving an organization’s intended outcomes.

This professional designation, which focuses on the management process of outsourcing itself, is equally valuable to individuals working as customers, providers, or advisors.  It promotes an environment where all of the parties to an outsourcing business relationship have a common and shared professional knowledge, approach, and commitment to mutual success.
