I struggle to create a planning overview we can 100% rely on.
I'm unable to give management utilization insights they can trust.
We're not able to communicate changes in the planning fast enough.
We're challanged to get a crisp grip on how everyone is planned in the coming period.
It's getting harder to answer resourcing questions on time and with accuracy.
When the complexity of your organization and service portfolio increases, dynamics explode. This creates blind spots in available capacity, margin and future demand. This effects your business in three ways.
1
As you’ve grown, the resource planning process hasn’t kept up. This leads to suboptimal staffing.
2
This decreases the utilization of your staff on billable projects. Your topline growth is slowing down.
3
As you try to fill in the resource gaps, you unnecessary hire resources. This eats away at your margin.
Missing company targets
Unhappy employees
Unsatisfied customers
Not being able to keep up with latest trends
Over-staffing, over-hiring, over-committing
