Offshoring
Secrets
Revealed

The insider playbook to building global teams that actually work

Based on 15+ years of real-world offshore experience, Offshoring Secrets Revealed pulls back the curtain on what actually works when building offshore teams and what quietly destroys most projects within 90 days.

Written by Mark Copeman & Peter Bell

Why this book exists

Most offshoring advice is either overly theoretical or dangerously oversimplified.

Words from Mark Copeman

“After years of hearing Pete share incredible offshoring insights in meetings, I realised his experience was too valuable to stay locked in conversations. So in February, we spent a couple of evenings over dinner capturing as much of his hard-earned knowledge as possible.

 

With 15 years in offshoring, Pete has seen what works, what fails, and everything in between. Offshoring Secrets Revealed was created to make those lessons available to anyone looking to build global teams the right way.”
