Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) enables clients to unlock their top-line growth by outsourcing their core work to locations that have a highly skilled and relatively cheap talent pool. KPO is about intellectual arbitrage and is characterized by niche offerings, highly skilled staff and a relatively small scale; it cuts into the traditional core competencies of many organizations.
