Organisational Resource Management
Reduce conflicts, smooth peak demands, and provide a balanced allocation of resources.
Skill is required to manage and schedule personnel resources across a number of projects without conflict in your organisation. This is even more important where the same resources are required in your operational areas too.
Management in today's modern matrix environment requires a balance between functional line control and the objective-oriented project control. Competition for skilled resources can become intense resulting in conflicts over best use of staff. By applying intelligent organisational resource management to your business, you ensure a balanced allocation of resources and minimise conflicts. Organisational Resource Management Paper.

More than just a cost-benefit analysis of a potential project, our feasibility studies can form the foundation of your project's success by creating the shared vision and goal for your project.
The decisions you make at the feasibility stage of project initiation will have a lasting impact on later expenditure. As 90% of your future project costs are determined during this initial phase, it is vital to get it right.
Beyond a cost-benefit analysis, our feasibility studies also create a shared vision and goal. This provides a focus for your project team - to turn objectives into profitable outcomes. Feasibility Studies Paper.

Make co-operation part of your workforce ethos by employing critical chain modelling in your project planning.
Critical Chain modelling is a conceptual extension of critical path methodology in that it identifies and exploits constraints for the benefit of your projects. In particular, Critical Chain modelling exploits the uncertainty inherent in estimations of task duration. It empowers your staff to manage their own work load for the optimum performance of the project.
The Critical Chain methodology relies on co-operative team work and honest communication, emphasising protection of your overall project end date rather than individual milestone dates. Critical Chain Modelling Paper.
