Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

Change Is Inevitable!

Businesses globally are having to come to terms with this reality, and for the companies that are committed to being market leaders, there is continuing talk and matching investment in making change resilience part of their corporate DNA.

Whilst some projects improve an organization’s ability to “run the business” but do not rise to the level of a “strategic initiative,” all of an organization’s strategic initiatives are projects or programs, which inevitably “changes the business.”  – PMI, 2014

This session:

• Introduces the challenge of change (especially as corporate change is achieved through employees engaging in the change)
• Highlights the opportunities possible to companies that make change resilience a priority, and
• Sets out a roadmap for achieving this lofty goal within a corporate setting.

W. Edwards Deming said, “It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” For those that do want to survive and excel, this paper provides a guideline.
