Resource Planning vs. Task Planning: A Game Changer for ALL Leaders!
Having had the honor of leading several organizations in whole or in part, I'm always interested in the interplay between Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and the more technical IQ within the workplace. This is especially true around the increasingly more sophisticated and ever-present area of #projectmanagement. Thank you Parallax and Tom O'Neill for a wonderfully insightful project management-focused webinar.
There were several great takeaways - many more than I can list here - and my focus is from a high-level, company-wide resource allocation perspective. This includes project management resources for both internal and client-facing projects.
Key Takeaway: Resource planning and task planning are NOT the same. Separating them can be a game changer for professional services organizations.
The Problem: We overload project managers and fragment creative teams, leading to burnout, missed deadlines, and unhappy clients. This "keep 'em busy" mentality isn't sustainable!
The Solution: Strategic resource planning!
Why This Matters for Leaders:
Empowered Teams, Stronger Results: Shift the focus from activity to impact. Strategic resource allocation empowers your team and drives better project outcomes.
Happier, More Productive Workforce: Reduce burnout and empower your team members. Invest in their growth and watch morale and productivity soar.
Smarter Project Managers: Free project managers to focus on strategy and coaching, not micromanagement. Develop well-rounded leaders who can navigate complexity and inspire innovation.
Data-Driven Decisions: Use insights from feedback loops to continuously improve forecasting and resource allocation. Make informed choices based on real data, not just gut feelings.
The Bonus: It fosters a culture of learning and growth!
This webinar highlighted the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ) alongside IQ in project management. This is especially important as project manager roles evolve! Thank you, Tom O'Neill and Parallax!
