Below are some extracts from our Strategic Resource Management Excellence manual.
Good resource management is about balancing
the use of time, money, and human skills to achieve goals effectively. By
planning, allocating, prioritising, optimising, monitoring, staying flexible,
and evaluating, you can ensure that resources are used in the most productive
way possible. Each principle interlinks to help create a robust framework for
managing resources efficiently.
1. Planning
Principle: Effective
resource management starts with thorough planning. This involves identifying
the resources needed, setting objectives, and developing a plan to achieve
those objectives.
Example: Imagine
you are planning a project to build a website. You would need to identify
resources such as web developers, designers, content writers, and budget. You’d
set goals for the project’s completion date, features, and budget limits.
2. Allocation
Principle: Allocate
resources based on their availability and the needs of the project or task.
Ensure that resources are assigned in a way that maximises efficiency and
productivity.
Example: In a
manufacturing plant, you might allocate workers to different shifts based on
demand forecasts. If you anticipate high production during certain hours, you
allocate more workers to those shifts.
3. Prioritisation
Principle: Prioritise
resources and tasks to focus on the most critical aspects first. This ensures
that essential tasks are completed on time and that resources are used
effectively.
Example: In a
software development project, you might prioritise developing core
functionalities first, such as user authentication and database integration,
before working on additional features like a user feedback system.
4. Optimisation
Principle: Optimise
the use of resources to reduce waste and increase efficiency. This involves
streamlining processes, reducing redundancies, and finding ways to make better
use of available resources.
Example: A retail
store might use software to track inventory levels in real-time, reducing
overstock and stockouts, thereby optimising the use of warehouse space and
minimising costs.
5. Monitoring
and Control
Principle:
Continuously monitor the use of resources and adjust plans as necessary. This
helps in identifying issues early and making informed decisions to keep the
project on track.
Example: In a
construction project, using project management software to track progress,
costs, and resource usage can help you identify delays or budget overruns,
allowing you to take corrective action promptly.
6. Flexibility
Principle: Maintain
flexibility to adapt to changes and unexpected challenges. This involves having
contingency plans and being able to reallocate resources as needed.
Example: In event
planning, you might have backup vendors for key services like catering and
entertainment. If one vendor faces issues, you can quickly switch to an
alternative without significantly impacting the event.
7. Evaluation
and Feedback
Principle: After
completing a project or task, evaluate the resource management process and
gather feedback to improve future planning and allocation.
Example: After a
marketing campaign, analyse the ROI of different advertising channels. Use
insights gained to adjust future campaigns, such as investing more in digital
ads if they proved more effective.
