What exactly is resource management and how does it benefit your company\u2019s productivity? First, let\u2019s define resource management as a method of identifying, strategically planning, allocating, and monitoring ALL of your company\u2019s resources. These resources include your people, your equipment, your finances, and even your time spent on activities.<\/p>

At Critical Connexion, we have found that resource management and productivity go hand-in-hand. That is, when you are identifying resources, strategically planning how they are allocated, and then monitoring their success, you can maximize the productivity of your employees, the effectiveness of your equipment, and the proficiency of your company\u2019s overall performance. That way, you are achieving your company\u2019s overall goals in the most efficient way possible, while also saving time and money by reducing waste.<\/p>

Although there are many ways to connect resource management to productivity, you can start by reviewing the following:<\/p>

  1. Compile what resources will be needed for a project (people, skills, budget, technology, etc.).<\/li>
  2. Mobilize your team by communicating with those who have the specific skills you first identified and then determine if you need to bring anyone else in to fill any holes.<\/li>
  3. Monitor the use of resources for effectiveness, efficiency, and forward progress.<\/li><\/ol>
