7. How will automation impact resource management?

8. To understand the future, lets start with the past

9. Investors Investors Investors Jaguar's Browns Lane Coventry
Industrial Revolution
Workers lived near their work
Factories created a new fluid and moveable workforce
The concept of peak demand
The necessity for professional resource management was born
Coventry Auto Factory

People are expensive, move overseas

A scary future

15. 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

16. Why Do we Care?

17. 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

18. 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?

19. 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.
Short illustration – Could everyone please stand up?
Terrific, thank you very much.
Robots, software, automation – are outstanding with easily repeatable simple instructions.
People – good assumptive decision making
People - are adaptable
Resourcing Shift

20. Team Human Automation Physical Managed Services
In the future there will be more resourcing with complex team models
Complex models will include a lot of non-human resource
Optimise at a Greater detail
Ask a human for too much information but in an automated world – information is much easier to obtain.

21. 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

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