Don’t get me wrong – between the keynotes, breakout sessions, networking events, and exhibitions – you’re guaranteed to learn a ton about the next generation of services at TSW later this month.  But one of the most consistently high-rated options available to you is the workshop lineup (now called Professional Development Courses).

This week I’m highlighting RTM Consulting’s Global Resource Management (GRM) Workshop which received tremendous feedback after the Silicon Valley event in May.  The workshop offers a unique perspective on resource management that I’ve been waiting to see for some time now, based on Just-in-Time (JIT) Manufacturing.  In a previous life, I ran a publication called The Manufacturer, and not an issue went by without someone addressing new best practices for JIT or Lean Manufacturing.  The concept was first made popular by Toyota in the early eighties, when they revolutionized their supply chain management practices  to reduce inventory holding costs.  The idea was to get the right part in the right place – just in time.

RTM Consulting took that same concept and created a Just-in-Time Resourcing℠ solution, designed to improve resource utilization by getting the right person in the right place at the right time.  And that’s what the GRM workshop is all about.  They’ll provide users with all the background, show you how GRM can address many of the pressures faced by PSO’s today, and give you a foundation to build your own execution plan.

And here’s the kicker – it’s $495.  How much would your bottom line improve if you could boost utilization by a fraction of a percent?  What about 5%?

These workshops really are a no-brainer.  We’ve hand-selected the best content, and you get a full day of interactive, hands-on training in a small group setting from seasoned pros that do this stuff for a living.   Based on the price – we’re not even making money on these events.  We just believe in them that much, and see them as another way to add value to your membership and conference experience.
