Project Resource Management:
New Tools, New Processes, Big Results
Instructor: Steve Kludt, Director, PRTM

For years, those who manage new product development have faced the challenge of too many projects chasing too few resources. The impact is   insidious. What looks like more turns out to be less. Talented team mem-bers get burned out. Throughput suffers. Schedule slip runs out of control. The solution isn’t simple. It takes a combination of leadership, organiza-tion, processes, and information. This workshop will focus on practical solutions (not theory) for managing pipeline resources effectively. It will help participants to:

• Understand why the problem is so important to solve and what results to expect from solving it
• Learn the components of an effective solution
• Leadership and decision making
• Resource management organization
• Transactional resourcing process
• Determining the type of information to capture in a project information system
• Discuss real case examples with hands on exercises
• Appreciate the challenges of implementation and managing the change involved
