Scary A scary future

Spread Sheet Some of you may know the History of Spreadsheets 5 minute lesson Before 1980 On paper – if you needed a projection Would not use an expensive accountant - Bookkeepers and Accounting Clerks Take days – If you changed a number you had to erase the sums and re-add if you wanted something bigger it was more days 1978 – Dan Bricklin had an idea VisiCalc for the newly invented Apple 2e It could change a number without having to erase and automatically re adjust sums Since 1980 – the US has lost 400,000 book keeping and clerk jobs

Why Do we Care?

MORE FASTER The what-if was born In a very sort time you could get projections The new technology caught on 600,000 jobs created 600,000 higher skilled jobs The result is automation created a shift and increased complexity

SUPPLY AND DEMAND Brining together the resource management today. Here is our resource balancer product For the most part we have solved supply and demand We can easily and quickly get whole organisations to collaborate on resource management, define the what-ifs and allocate individuals Cool huh? We can even do this with non-human resources For instance if you need a specific software environment at a specific time What’s the analysis we are doing to take that model and prepare for the future?

I can’t sleep, tell me what to do Industrial Revolution - We resource by day - Around 8 hours - 5 days a week All ready common in some industries, will become more common.

Which Person should be a person? Resource Manager as investing Which Person should be a person? Better reconnition of resource management as investing Don’t understand projects, bau, application of resources is investment We have abstracted project management to a level where RMs and PMs don’t realise they are making investment decisions. When someone asks in our business to hire a new person, we ask “can we automate 40 hours else where in the business”? Being wrong will cost more

THE FUTURE IS STRATEGIC The role of resource management will have greater focus THE FUTURE IS STRATEGIC
