3. • Resource Management Business Process
 Reexamine Sr. Management Goals and Objectives to
explore where enhancements might add value
 Incorporate industry “best practices” to enhance
effectiveness, efficiency & organizational acceptance
 Leverage workshops with thought leaders to
 Better understand current strengths & weaknesses
 Identify a feasible series of “baby step” enhancement releases
 Exploit prototyping to validate benefits with the participation
of thought leaders and key stakeholders
 Prove value through an expanding series of limited
deployments to demonstrate effectiveness & gain support

4. • Resource Management Business Process
 Must accommodate differences in how individual business
units operate in response to their challenges & opportunities
 Challenge business as usual assumptions that may be
unnecessarily impeding improvements
 Identify where industry best practices & supporting tools
can be introduced to improve effectiveness & efficiency
 Incorporate advanced Portfolio Management
“Optimization” techniques to improve overall organizational
operating opportunities and outcomes
 Collaborate with other management initiatives to ensure
local “optimizations” do not impact global performance

5. • Resource Management Business Process
 Failure to win acceptance & allegiance will doom the effort
 Must demonstrate value to each individual stakeholder and
participant
 “If you don’t, they won’t” comply, adopt or benefit
 Formal Change Management techniques
 Should be leveraged to ensure the value message is crafted &
delivered in a way that achieves acceptance & allegiance
 Should be evaluated based on their demonstrated ability to
achieve acceptance
 Extensive communications “tuned” to the perspectives,
needs & opportunities of each individual are continuously
necessary to succeed!
