Introduction

Our member's Head of Project Management is keen to learn and share with peer group organisations around Project Resource Management.

This member is facing Resource Management issues relating to:

• Quality – both specialist and generalist suitability for large complex projects.
• Quantity – greater demand than supply
• Right Place – high competition for staff around the world
• Right Time – demand forecasting

Amongst the strategies being deployed or considered by the PM group to counter these issues include:

Recruitment
Attracting younger prospective PM’s as well as more seasoned professionals who can be trained and developed by increasing awareness of the exciting projects that they can work on.

Retention
Providing PM’s with more competitive packages and recognising/rewarding their success.

Development
Providing clearly defined career paths regardless of position within the overall Career Path Framework to develop PM Professionals within the organisation.

Outsourcing
Outsourcing of project management activities.
