How to Sync iCal With Outlook
Outlook is Microsoft's email and calendar program that integrates with Microsoft Office. It is used by many corporations as the default email client. iCal is the calendar application for Mac OS X. Outlook and iCal do not have an interface that allows them to connect and sync information directly. If you want your home and work calendars to contain the same information, you can use the Google calendar to act as an interface between the two applications.

Might be worth pointing out that the Outlook sync (as of 17 Mar 2011) is only available for Outlook for PC. As far as I can tell, there still is no capability to sync Outlook (Calendar or Tasks) for Mac with I Cal or Google Calendar.
