First,

>She cites numbers showing two out of five principals are unhappy with the innovation results delivered by outsourcing.

Which by default means that 3 out of 5 are content.

Second, What does outsourcing have to do with innovation? By definition, innovation is a cost centre. If outsourced tasks are costing more, they aren't doing their jobs.

Seems to me like you can't have your cake and eat it too... are people being sold otherwise?
