Webinar description

In the latest State of Resource Management Survey, one theme stood out clearly: Uncertainty is now the norm. Resource Managers reported that their plans are most often disrupted by: Regulatory and government decisions, sudden influx or loss of deals, employee retention challenges, and key players resigning unexpectedly. And yet, many organizations still expect precision. Clean forecasts. Fixed utilization targets. Locked-in plans six to eight weeks out. So how do you plan in an environment that refuses to stay stable? In this LEAP webinar, we’ll explore how Resource Managers can navigate constant change without losing credibility, control, or calm. We’ll talk about structure versus flexibility, scenario planning as a mission-critical discipline, and how transparency builds trust – even when answers aren’t perfect. Because uncertainty isn’t going away. The question is how we lead through it.

What you'll learn:

  • The most common disruptors of resource plans – and how to prepare for them
  • How to balance structure with flexibility (including why plans don’t need to be rigid 6–8 weeks out)
  • How to communicate uncertainty with transparency – using data, projections, and variability to build trust
  • How scenario planning helps you prepare for both growth spikes and worst-case slowdowns
  • The leadership behaviors that matter most in uncertain times
  • Small, powerful habits that help you stay calm, steady, and decisive
