Cholmondeley urged in-plants to work with customers on their VDP projects before they go to an outside provider, because once they start working with someone else, it becomes much harder to bring that work in-house later. Plus, he added, by providing VDP for the organization’s marketing efforts, the in-plant becomes crucial to the organization’s success, making it much harder to outsource the in-plant.
