Turn Dreams into Progress: How to Manage Your Resources for Real Results
Lofty strategies without the support of available and accessible resources are often destined to fail. Research from Harvard Business Review and Brightline shows that managing too many initiatives without adequate resource management is a primary reason why strategies fail to be implemented successfully. Yet, Resource Management is often entangled in buzzwords and vague concepts. In this interactive session, we will utilize the Resource Management Continuum Framework to help participants identify their most pressing resource management challenges and introduce actionable steps to address these issues. The Resource Management Continuum simplifies the complex question of ""who does what, when"" across different time horizons, using targeted questions to pinpoint the most pressing business issues. This session can be adapted to various formats, from a quick 30-minute overview with self-assessment exercises to a full workshop or unconference session. The framework was first introduced at the PMOGA Unconference in 2023 (refer to video for more details). The attached presentation is the original document presented at the unconference and will be adapted to the chosen interactive format.
