And external pressures just keep building up...
- Customer expectations keep growing
- Regulations get tighter and tighter
- Technology advances super fast
- Competition is cut-throat
- Talent scarcity is real
More people, more projects, more services, more silos, more red tape, more conflicts…. This increases blind spots with respect to available capacity, margin on projects and future demand. This impacts your business in three ways.
As your organization grows in business units, teams and across regions, staffing often stay behind with a decentralized approach. This leads to suboptimal staffing.
Suboptimal staffing decreases the utilization of your staff on billable projects. This immediately impacts your revenue. Your topline growth is slowing down.
As you try to fill in the resource gaps locally, you unnecessary hire new people or external resources to get the job done. This eats away at the margin of your projects and services.
Traditional resource planning is focused on looking backwards, allocation of hours and is more siloed. We need to shift to looking forward, taking margins into account and adopt a company-wide perspective. We call this impact-led resource planning.
We give you a holistic picture that allows you to be more resourceful (i.e. more competitive), meet customer expectations with more ease, and deliver more work more profitably. How do we accomplish this? By doing three things radically different.
We integrate all your relevant systems and keep everything synced. We capture all data with respect to your company, department, project, resource & rates structure for today and tomorrow.
We let you visually plan for the best company level utilization and billability. We guide you to prevent costly mistakes and delays and assure that everyone in the process is instantly aligned on what is expected.
We provide everyone in the organization with insights to answer complex business questions with accuracy. This enables you to predict future utilization and billability and spot new ways to grow.
