Symptom: There are barriers that prevent the use of contractors.
If outsourcing is not occurring at all because it is too difficult to do so, then barriers must be removed.
One type of barrier is a cap on gross expense. A cap on (or target for) net expense is entirely acceptable. But by limiting gross expense, an organization cannot take a customer's money and expand by hiring contractors. This forces the organization to turn customers away and lose market share.
If this is the case, adjustments in the internal economy may be warranted.
