Exclusive Webinar Invitation EARN 1 PDU

Guest Speaker : R “Ray” Wang, Forrester Research, Vice President & Principal Analyst Current economic conditions drive enterprises to shift their workforce to both a more decentralized and a free agent model. Meanwhile, economic forces are leading to the creation of more agile work models. As this pool of skilled workers increasingly becomes independent of specific corporations, real time workforce planning is now a strategic necessity especially for organizations that have increasingly collaborative project work. Today, location and availability are not the only primary drivers for capacity planning; matching skill-sets, areas of interest, past experience, and real-time staffing has emerged as important workforce planning factors to consider. Join us on March 25, 2009 to learn how these trends are playing out and how project based solutions can play a role in addressing these real-time workforce planning challenges.

We will discuss:

• The challenges involved in managing a decentralized project-driven workforce
• New work methods and resource-types such as project-centric, divided, and independent resources.
• The “shared project workforce”
• Brief introduction to Tenrox Workforce Management & Planning Software module

Who Should Attend: Senior executives at VP, CIO, and Director levels interested in project management applications or in charge of optimizing resource deployment and sourcing.

Time: 10 am Pacific/ 1 pm Eastern

Duration: 1 hour
