Vested Business Model

What exactly is Vested^®?

Vested outsourcing is a new, progressive methodology and business model for creating highly collaborative business relationships between a service provider and client to ensure mutual success.

Why? Traditionally, business relationships between a company and a service provider are focused on win-lose arrangements, where one party benefits at the other’s expense. Vested enable true win-win relationships in which both parties are equally committed to each other’s success. When applied, a Vested approach fosters an environment that sparks innovation, resulting in improved service, reduced costs and value that didn’t exist before — for both parties.

Why do we use the Vested^®approach?

Traditionally, business relationships between a company and a service provider are focused on win-lose pricing model incentives, where one party benefits at the other’s expense. A vested business model enables true win-win relationships in which both parties are equally committed to each other’s success.

Once applied, the highly collaborative business relationships of the vested outsourcing approach fosters an environment that sparks innovation and drives each other’s success.

This results in improved performance from the service provider, reduced costs, and clearly defined and measurable value that didn’t exist before — for both the company and service provider.

Vested is based on award-winning research conducted by the University of Tennessee College of Business Administration and funded by the U.S. Air Force.

What makes true win win relationships?

The easiest way to think of these win win business relationships and the mutual success they bring, is to consider the fundamental perspective on resources from an equally committed vested agreement.

The vested methodology ensures that instead of a client and a service provider fighting over the same resources, they work together to create a larger pool of resources for both sides to benefit from.

These desired outcomes and approach to collaborative innovation can be applied to businesses in any sector looking to boost innovation and add value.

From facilities management to dedicated catering functions, the vested model reimagines the traditional business relationship to guarantee the desired outcomes.
