Outsourcing in many ways is at the crossroads. While some firms like Cognizant have been innovating and growing nicely (and this year cracked the Fortune 500 list), way too many have just become enamored with size in a world where individuals do seem to matter – and frankly have plenty of choices beyond becoming the 522,836th employee of a firm.

Vinnie misses the point. It's always the race to the top, imagine the joy of leading a 522,836 people company or being top 100 or even 1000 in such a company.
