Ongoing data capture and analysis is crucial A sound approach combines demand forecas7ng with the talent supply chain with the intent of allowing companies to dynamically align talent with current and future business needs
3
Key elements of a sound manpower planning approach include:
1. Understanding Demand Pipeline Characteris=cs: Using quan7ta7ve and qualita7ve data to analyze and gain insights into the characteris7cs of the demand pipeline.
2. Quan=fying Work/Project Requirements: Capturing, qualifying and quan7fying project management requirements such as the type and quan7ty of capabili7es needed and the 7ming needs for resources.
3. Understanding Complex Internal Talent Dynamics: Using available data to build a picture of talent dynamics and shine a light on areas such as staff availability, under/over u7liza7on of staff, moves between projects and staff turnover.
4. Quan=fying the Talent Gap and Taking Ac=on: Assessing both sides of the talent supply and demand equa7on to iden7fy ac7ons needed to close gaps.
Managing the workforce takes a structured plan A best prac7ce is to work closely with project management leaders to iden7fy what companies do well and combine that with industry standard protocols to develop a solu7on that meets their long term needs

Background • Client is a leading Engineering, Procurement & Construc7on firm that focuses on complex systems for floa7ng oil & gas produc7on vessels in all
water depths from shallow to ultra deep water. Individual projects can take years to design and build and can be valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
• Client needed assistance with project planning, organiza7onal design and manpower planning • This represented the largest and most complex project they had ever undertaken and would require over 130 resources that would func7on as a
team for approximately three years. A&M Role
• A&M’s role was to design and build a fully capable project management team, organiza7on structure and policies & procedures that would enable all aspects of project execu7on and organiza7on setup.
• The A&M team did this by: – Analyzing thousands of pages of contract requirements to determine all that were applicable to the project management effort – Developing an organiza7on structure, roles and responsibili7es and procedures for the overall effort including project management,
various engineering disciplines, project controls, procurement, document control , IT and HR. – Procurement organiza7on design as well as policy/procedure crea7on were from the ground up and assumed no legacy capability. – A cri7cal success factor in this effort was that the project organiza7on had to be responsive to mul7ple stakeholder groups including
the state owned natural gas company, the European E&P operator and the consor7um construc7on partners. Complica7ng factors for the project organiza7on included the need to deal with stakeholder groups with poten7ally conflic7ng interest, challenging consor7um group members and several different languages and cultures.
Outcome • A&M successfully compiled project management requirements, developed a unified organiza7on structure that equipped the client to ramp up
quickly and immediately begin execu7ng the one hundred day plan followed by subsequent plans for building out various sub-‐teams according to the design engineering schedules.
• Key learnings from this exercise served as a basis for enhancing client’s exis7ng project management structure and processes for other projects.

Project demand forecas7ng Oilfield services technology, manufacturing and administra7ve facili7es
Background • Client is a global oilfield services company, and provides a wide range of services to oil & gas developers around the globe. The Client’s real
estate group manages facili7es around the world, including dozens of facili7es dedicated to manufacturing and technology development. • Iden7fying and execu7ng new projects was ohen a very reac7ve process, with key stakeholders only iden7fying the need for addi7onal capacity
or loca7ons once facility constraints were painfully evident. • Client needed to develop a more strategic approach to assessing current capacity against projected future needs of the business in order to
beker plan for real estate projects, par7cularly in Manufacturing and Technology, as well as administra7ve transac7on facili7es for func7ons such as finance, HR, and procurement.
A&M Role • A&M’s role was to develop a more proac7ve and strategic approach for engaging selected func7onal groups in order to beker understand their
current and future needs, and to become a more strategic partner with a view into poten7al needs looking out 3-‐5 years in the future. • The A&M team did this by:
– Interviewing key stakeholders to understand the underlying drivers of their resource and personnel requirements, and ul7mately their need for facili7es.
– Analyzing current and historical data for real estate facili7es, including quan7ta7ve and qualita7ve assessments of u7liza7on and the overall performance of facili7es in mee7ng the needs of stakeholders.
– Developing and tes7ng a methodology for modeling personnel and space requirements for different func7onal groups in order to assess the poten7al need for new facili7es over the next 3-‐5 years.
– In addi7on, assisted key stakeholders in iden7fying some simplified approaches for analyzing and forecas7ng their own internal resource requirements based on overall strategic forecasts for the company.
Outcome • Developing and pilo7ng the new approach to engaging key stakeholders helped them understand their own role in assessing the longer term
strategic needs in terms of new facili7es. • Key boklenecks and poten7al capacity constraints were iden7fied, enabling the real estate group to proac7vely engage stakeholders in
assessing the need for poten7al projects well in advance of when projects would need to be executed. • Several key stakeholders also realized that they could use these tools and approaches to beker forecast their own internal resource needs.
