STRATEGIC RESOURCE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

With the globalization of the modern enterprise, the use of Resources has gone from the simple use of employees, local freelance consultants, and local resource provider organizations to the use of geographically disperse development and support resources that not only bring with them their diverse skill sets but also impose new cultural challenges on our organizations. It's no longer enough to simply manage your onsite employees and consultants. Now, we're required to also manage long distance outsourcing relationships. Instead of managing rather constant and local resource mixes, we're now dealing with a constantly fluctuating and revolving door of resources that add distraction and extra work to how we manage our projects. Understanding what mix of resources are currently on staff, what resources are coming and going, and what their associated work and costs are is a challenge that the modern enterprise has to treat as the simple cost of doing business in a global economy. As a result, strategic Resource Portfolio Management (RPM) has become a critical function in all global enterprises. Now, RPM is used to manage the mix of Resources, their skills, their locations, their costs, and their work. Enterprises leverage the results of RPM to manage their Resource mix like they would their investment portfolios, understanding risks and returns.

Beyond the inherent need in virtually every large enterprise to streamline and reduce costs and raise productivity, the major drivers accelerating Resource Portfolio Management adoption include:

  • The need for Resource knowledge to respond to regulatory mandates for data privacy, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act;
  • Pre-contract negotiation and post-outsourcing monitoring; and
  • RPM's eventual melding with other portfolio management disciplines, such as Product Portfolio Management, Project Portfolio Management, Risk Portfolio Management, Service Portfolio Management, and much, much more.
