XDS 2023 | Panel: Lost In Transition: How Outsource Manager Turnover Impacts Devs & Vendors Alike
Moderator: Tara Phillips | Solutions Architect, Create Services | Keywords Studios
Developers and vendors face many challenges when an Outsource Manager departs. In today’s climate, we are seeing even higher rates of mobility and attrition in these roles, which has become more prevalent due to industry layoffs and game cancellations. The discussion digs into the reasons behind this mobility, the risks and impacts that arise when this role turns over, and ideas on how to help mitigate these risks on both sides of the equation. The panel explores possibilities for mitigating project disruption, emphasizing the need for collaboration between developers and vendors in addressing this issue.
About XDS: External Development Summit (XDS) is the only annual, international games industry event held in Canada, with a primary focus on external development for art, animation, audio, co-development, QA and localization.

    It's not "the company wants to create more diversity" cause they are so nice, it's that the company have a big lack of creativity and knows that diversity is the cheaper and the best solution for them. "We are doing OK in the diversity"? Na, not really 04:52 specially at 09:23. 05:02 I N-E-V-E-R saw a black or brown women hire as a creative (concept artist, animation etc...), same with transgender, handicaped, foreigner... You forgot to mention that women are present only as a pretty assistant in the admninistration/buisness area and nothing else. It's so boring to make us believe otherwise. If you are a girl and you want to work in this industry, be aware that you have a huge wall in front of you, and if you climb it, you'll find an other one and so on and if you are non white multiply the difficulty by ten at least (in usa or europe). 15:31 fucking liar. 15:44 women and non white are not talented enough I guess? 18:53 yes, it's a problem. 19:05 the problem is never racism or misogyny it's you, you are not good enough, very funny. Deviantart, artstation, youtube are full of divers talented people, even on tumblr, instagram or pinterest. Nothing has been said about discrimination, why? Taboo is the base of the problem, you can't resolve the problem if you don't talk about it. Personally I'm never gonna work with a company where non white women, transgender, foreigner or handicaped are not welcome, just my opinion, my choice.

    Diversity is great. I am all for it, but I think the elephant in the room is bullying, and harassment in the workforce. A company not willing to acknowledge abuse in the work place is worse than anything. There is a bigger issue at hand.
