The Project Chatter Podcast S3E67: Resource & Effort Management Theorem with Alex James
In this episode, Dale and Val get geeky about resources and workforce planning! Dive into #resourcemanagement from a potentially new angle with their guest Alex James who is passionate about effort management and #wellbeing on projects.
About Alex James; Educated as a civil engineer, Alex has 30 years of experience in construction, design, project, and business case management, fortunately working on signature projects and assets like The Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Sydney Airport, Cross City Tunnel, and Sydney’s rail network. Alex’s frustration with the carnage of poor-quality product, delivered late by stressed people, or low utilisation eroding margins, drove him to better understand the ‘resource management’ enigma. This led to his creation of the ‘Effort Management Theorem’ used in solutions and analysis offered by his startup RESRODEL. Alex is the Project Leader of an international team developing a ‘Workforce Allocation’ standard, representing the Institute of Management Consultants at Standards Australia and the International Standards Organisation - Human Resource Management Committee.
