5/22/2019 I was interested in learning more about how to effectively allocate resources for a project at company level, team level and at personal level. I've experience doing it at personal level but I was interested in learning about resource allocation for multi-million projects. Resource allocation is the thoughtful deployment of resources for a project. Resources are people, equipment, place, money, or anything else required to successfully finish a project. I asked Furman what has worked for him in the past and how does he allocate resources. He gave me some real life examples and elaborated the steps. Main take aways from this session- Project prioritization- It helps strategically align resource allocation decisions All-round visibility of the projects Evaluation and assessing roadblocks/barriers in advance Working backwards - Answering how does the end look like and how do we get there Team commitment to reach the goal
This is a journal that I write after my mentoring sessions with David Furman, President of Marketing, Hyster Yale Group. Why I chose David Furman as my mentor? Furman is an influential and a high impact leader who likes to lead by example. His humility, modesty attracted my attention at first place. The best part about these sessions is that I always walk out with a few take aways those I can use/ apply immediately.
