Resources Are Core to Every Business

“Firms that actively reallocated capital

expenditures achieved an average shareholder return

30% higher than companies that were slow to shift

funds.”

“Resources are often trapped in unproductive uses… Only 20% of managers say their organizations do a good job of shifting people to support strategic priorities.”

“Only 11% of managers believe that all their company’s strategic

priorities have the financial and human resources needed for success.”

“A company typically reallocates only a tiny fraction of its resources from year to year, thereby sentencing innovation to a stagnating march of incrementalism.”

The Capacity ConundrumHow to reconcile resource investments with growth objectives?

Executives should ask:

• Are we confident that resources are assigned to the right work to meet corporate objectives?

• Do we know what’s at risk when resources are overcommitted or underutilized?

• Do we know what best performers do differently?

Do executives and resource

leaders have a clear picture of capacity and

demand?

The Relevant Questions

Capacity Planning asks:

How can we be confident that we will have the capacity to meet strategic business goals with our current, finite resources?

Resource Management asks:

How can we ensure the right people are assigned to the right projects at the right time?
