Ask the CRExperts, Episode 1: Bracing for the Impact of AI on BPO’s Property Portfolio

Hosted by myself, John Williams, CMO at The Instant Group, we’re starting the series with a three-part special on outsourcing and offshoring. In each episode, we'll discuss a major challenge that Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Captive businesses face when managing their property portfolios, and we'll aim to provide tangible solutions.

In the first episode, we examine how AI is transforming outsourcing and offshoring. I am joined by BPO expert Alistair Niederer, who provides insights on expected changes in workforce dynamics, shifts in office space requirements, and offers advice on how businesses can adapt to stay flexible.
