Resource Management
Exceptional resource management orchestrates human, financial, and technical assets to deliver project outcomes with precision and efficiency. It demands strategic foresight, adaptive planning, and collaborative negotiation to align resources with organisational priorities. By balancing workload, mitigating bottlenecks, and maintaining contingency, resource managers maximise productivity, morale, and value — ensuring teams remain engaged and projects stay on track.
Experience
Westpac – Enterprise Resource Planning Mastery
Rapidly mastered Westpac’s complex resource pipeline — integrating spreadsheets, MS Project, and enterprise tools. Secured critical resources through formal adoption, mitigating diversion risk and aligning with strategic objectives. Ensured cost transparency within secure, governed frameworks.
IBA – Stakeholder-Aligned Resourcing
Negotiated full-time product specialist allocation by funding a temporary back-fill. Engaged line managers early, addressed operational concerns, and escalated competing priorities to the appropriate level — protecting project delivery while honouring organisational commitments.
Greencross Vets – Adaptive & Contingency Planning
Built contingency into resource plans: when vendor delays blocked testing, proactively released a store manager back to operational duties (supporting a refit) and re-engaged him when ready. Maintained password-protected resource plans on shared drives to safeguard sensitive cost data.
Core Principles – Communication & Ownership
Hold regular checkpoints with resource owners. Provide early visibility of risks and honour agreements — building trust and accountability. Treat resource plans as living documents, adjusted in real time to maintain momentum and team engagement.
