For few
days, I had this thought nurturing in my mind about how I can be successful in
a situation where I have to manage. I may be managing resources, wealth, a
situation or anything that comes in my life which contains hurdles which I need
to cross. So problem here is how I walk smoothly or how cross over hurdles with
the maximum smoothness I can obtain within the constraints or limitations I
have with available resources. But as far as a human being is considered, we
got only two hands and two legs and a brain. Though all these components are
supposed to be the smartest of species, it has got limited productivity in
terms of achieving higher objectives. Then how do you manage a highly skilled
or high targeted goal work within the limitation that a human being has got.
Here comes the beauty of using resources and eventually managing resources. Yes
here I am using the term management, with my limited knowledge from books or I
have been observing that human kind had been managing resources when he is not
able to do a particular piece of work alone or when he need to finish the task
within constraints, especially tasks that is higher goals. I was just
wondering, how human kind built the egyptian pyramids, china wall or Taj mahal.
It was an art of human kind called of the so mentioned.
1. Locating resources (Finding out the right set of resources etc)
2. Managing resources (Management of time, resource etc.)
3. Consuming resources (Consuming the right amount of resources in a small quantity or in larger quantity).
4. Achieving goal
Probably the human kind from the very beginning of his life cycle has gone through this very specific cycle called managing a life cycle to achieve the task. Then later, it has gone through further enhancements and productive sharpening or changing of the entire nature or characteristics to the above mentioned steps to achieve the specific goals. But all the time, there were people who were doing management in all the areas were target was high or goals were high. The management might be in terms of various sub categories but definitely within the sub category of the above mentioned categories.
And human kind goals changed on various aspects from hunting for food to pyramids to rocket building. On all aspects of achieving goals, human kind had been experimenting management. It is a cool thought to differentiate the management involved in hunting and the management involved in rocket building. In fact, the bottom line principles of perfect processes involved in both are same. When the goals changed, eventually the processes involved in the very cyclic process also evolved and multiple sub processes has been added and removed from this very specific bottom line processes. So my point that I wanted to add in this note is that how we can sharpen or ensure that the goal that we are trying to achieved is achieved to the best. In short form, it all concluded to the very specific point, which was the same thousands of years back and same now as well, but in many varying aspects of fundamental principles. It’s all about..
Locating the resources and their management.
Again when coming back, it comes back to the point..!! Finding out the resources.. and managing the resources and well consuming the resources are the important part in life cycle of any goal setting and goal achieving processes where more than one resource count is required.
So in any such tasks, a quality delivery depends on the quality of the processes defined over the above, which is locate, manage, and consume the resources.
If we take this very life cycle as the crucial part of delivery of the main deliverables, it will have a major quality impact on the main deliverables. In fact it cannot or rather it can never stand apart. But the challenging part in here that, we are not alone in this world who looks for high goals. The most worrying part of this world when we look for quality deliverables is that, the world out there is very competitive and we may not even have the right resources, but still the quality of deliverables depends on ..
1. Locating highly quality resources
2. Managing resources in a really efficient way
3. Make use of or consume resources to target
4. Achieve goals.

In fact
when we talk, all these steps will have challenges of its own as we are in a
highly competitive world and each steps would require advanced and efficient
manner of processes and steps.
In many of the organizations, locating the high quality resources would be known by the recruitment team. I personally believe that within the scale of the organization, the locating process should have a very high visibility, when I tell, I do meant a very high visibility across the place that we consider or across the globe that we talk about. So what possibly would be the challenges in terms of locating resources?
1. Locating resource by itself is a challenge
2. Attracting resources to the organization
3. A beautified way of working style leading to the well management of resources, eventually resulting the locate and attract of resources easier.
So how can we locate the resources? There may be a million einsteens or eissac newtons out there. Here comes the business processes of the organizations aligned with targeted goals for either a short term or long term comes into picture.
1. An organization should or mandatorily have a long term and short term vision or specific target for both short and longer terms.
2. Based on these goals, leaders should have aligned business targets crisped by practical goals streamlined to business goals reaching to bottom level employees.
3. With these crisped practical targets, varying capacity can be determined for the short and longer term.
4. And the pool required for the capacity of each target can be measured and thus counted and can be planned to obtain it
5. And the most critical step of it, getting the right kind of people for the right kind of job, which should be aligned with the count of streamlined/measured number from step 4.
6. Then attract and obtain the people.
Locating and attracting the people are the two major and critical components/parts which is ALIGNED TO OVERALL ORGANIZATIONAL STATEGIES.
MANAGING RESOURCES
Once an organization could obtain the right set of people for the job/task in hand, managing them is the next difficult thing to do. Managing a resource involves the following main component, which can be constrained by a single factor called happiness factor.
1. Happiness factor, which involves work culture, fun factors, monitory benefits, leaders and relationships etc
2. Professional reasons. Eg: Satisfaction with work
3. Personal & Social reasons
It also remains as a fact that, nobody can keep anybody happy for a long duration unless somebody is happy all by himself by understanding the following
1. Organizational constraints
2. Personal constraints
3. Social constraints
So these are the major challenges of getting a quality deliverables, having said the fact that a quality deliverable will always be made available by the right set of resources. But using the valuable resources of organization for only maintaining the resources would be a really bad idea. So it should be managing the resources, rather maintaining the resources. Maintaining a resource is like giving away valuable resources of the organization so that the resource is not leaving/ loosing from the company, which would not be a right choice any time. But it should be managing the resources, by identifying the right set of people and providing backup resources.
One solution would be to deliver a quality deliverable is by providing backup resources at the same time keeping the resource live. Here the ‘Keeping resource – live’ process will only makes sure that the quality deliverables are being delivered, but not mandatorily provide that the resource is maintained or not leaving the company. So ‘Backup Modal’ would be a solution to the problem of maintaining the quality of deliverables by managing the resources. In a worst case scenario, a backup may be the proper documentation of the work being done or the ongoing task.
This above mentioned ‘Backup modal’ will be working for the critical priority situation, but as far as an organization is concerned, employee satisfaction is a critical component that makes sure that the employee is not leaving the company in a case the resources are the people. So the employee satisfaction can be measured against the ‘Happiness factor’ in an organization within the organizational, personal, social constraints. A happiness factor of an organization would not only being depending only on the monitory benefits. It would also depending on so many other factors through which the “happiness factor of an organization” can be measured, which would eventually result in “Keeping resource alive” in an organization. So the happiness factor is directly proportional to the probability of “Keeping resource live” factor, which in turn will reduce the cost of maintaining the resources, eventually resulting in reducing the cost involved in achieving the quality deliverables.
‘HAPPINESS FACTOR’ will reduce the cost of quality deliverables.

CONSUMING THE RESOURCES
How we can consume the resource was always a question to my mind. So I just wanted to sneak through my past to get detail in terms of consumption of a particular human resource. When I was a bachelor, I had this thought of staying whole time in company as I had no other much work to do than watching youtube videos or circling in social networking. Though the consumption factor in this is not really big, It was comparatively larger than the productivity expectation at an organization level, for the reason that I was doing quality working more than expected 8 hours a day or may be weekends where expectation is 0 hours. Though not by organizational policies, I was consumed more than what is expected out from me, obviously at a lower cost. But what should be a process oriented modal in terms of consuming a resource.
My experience tells me that a successful consumption depends on the throughout expected consumption for a quality delivery. So obviously it directly proportional to a quality project delivery modal, which consumes a resource throughout rather taking an above 100% at some point in time of delivery and less than 100% at some point in delivery. I would recommend Agile project delivery modal for a proper resource consumption from my experience.
So consuming a resource for an expected working time is of a critical importance, so that ‘NOT OVERLOADED’ factor will not come into picture, which is a perfection scenario which anybody should be thriving for.
ACHIEVING THE GOAL
A cyclic process of locating/managing/consuming resource will be the fuel to achieving goals. Though many delivery/project modals were not existing old times, I believe that this fundamental principles were used from the time pyramids are constructed to the time rockets are built.
