Mastering Cost Reductions in the New Business Landscape








Effective resource demand management seems easy in concept. Yet most organizations struggle to achieve any positive outcome in this area, even after purchasing costly tools and trying out significant organizational improvements. Pcubed's Richard Greenall will help you identify aspects you need to address to improve your approach to the challenge of balancing capacity with resource demand.
Most resource management is reactive but it shouldn't be. Organizations that constantly scramble to place people into the right positions often find important projects delayed, sidelined, or eliminated for lack of qualified people to get the work done. Pcubed's Jenny Hughes shares practices that can be easily applied when you start to define your approach towards effective resource management.
The right combination of technology solutions and process cadence can automate and enhance the definition, record-keeping, planning, tracking, and optimization of most resource management efforts. Pcubed's Byron Garbutt will bolster your grasp of what to look for in a resource management solution and, therefore, select the one that suits you best.
Few companies know how to develop effective talent management strategies and plans. Richard Siddle documents the typical mistakes made when organizations deploy resource management - and provides avoidance techniques.
Most managers would be happy getting answers to two questions: What is everyone doing? And who is available to do this job? Ian Radcliff shows how technology can help you get your resource management processes running - and adding value - quickly.
When developing your resource management strategy, don't forget about managing consultants too. Ky Nichol shares advice to help you heighten expectations and sharpen the way you manage consultants as part of your team.
