...Role Of A Resource Manager The successful resource manager is someone with the ability to do a number of things well. Obviously, they need to have top-notch people skills and be able to effectively set and articulate performance goals and standards. They need to be able to evaluate individual performance against those goals and provide meaningful and constructive feedback to the people that they manage. They also need to be mindful of team dynamics (the strengths and weaknesses of the individuals in the team and how they interact with one another), resolving issues or conflicts and supporting team morale. The effective resource manager is also adept at managing a limited supply of resources against constantly changing demand. This requires a good view of what is coming up and creating short-, mid- and long-term resource plans: Long-Term Planning is taking a longer view of resource demand that is anticipated for six, eight, ten months out, or beyond. In the long-term plan, the resource manager is not planning an individual’s time against specific tasks, but rather looking at general roles, skills and/or the locations of resources needed against general categories of demand (ongoing operational work vs. strategic projects, etc) using forecasts based on historical data or trends. The long-term plan gives the resource manager the ability to anticipate resource needs and proactively plan for staff acquisition, training or other activities that typically have longer lead times...

...ahead of the cyber criminals who want to steal, alter and destroy your data. You can’t stay in one place for very long, because hackers are always improving their methods and trying harder and using increasing creativity each day to breach your network and access all the assets it contains. Now we always have to keep in mind that in many cases the attacks aren’t even related to a network breach, since the most destructive attacks are carried out by insiders who are authorized to connect to your network. A first good step to improving your network security is to look at the physical side of it and improve it. If an attacker takes physical control of a computer in the network then they can use a number of tools to access information that is on the hard drive or moving to and from the computer . This is why physical security must be a primary concern before thinking of other security methods. Some of the physical security you can focus on is cards or biometric access controls to the rooms were computers are located. Also video surveillance of the entrances and exits of rooms where assets are located is very important. Logging...

...Physical Resources Physical resources are resources that are available to a business organization in the form of buildings and other tangible machineries needed for day-to-day operation. Tesco has many physical resources it uses daily. One of the main physical resources is the building itself. The building is required for success of the business for obvious reasons. It is needed so the customers can actually access and buy from the business. Without the main building, the business would be a disaster as it will not be suitable for shoppers especially in cold or rainy weather which is the normal weather in England. Another physical resource Tesco has is the shelves which display the product for customers to buy. It is necessary for Tesco to have their products displayed neatly and tidy for customers to be able access the product easily. Without anything for the products to be held in a high position, the products will be scattered everywhere on the floor making shopping and sorting out the products difficult. Technological Resources Technological resources are resources that are usually intangible such as software, music or text. They too are owned by the business and have to be managed. One of the main technological resources that Tesco has is the software they use at the tills. This software will calculate all the sales made and how much is made. By having this technology, time is saved as there wont be people counting the money themselves where there will be more chance...

...P1: describe the skills required of an event organiser Time management is a skill you would need while you are organising an event. It is a way of splitting your time between the tasks you need to do. As a class we used time management throughout the whole time of the event organisation. We used skills such as deadlines and schedules so we had to be award of the amount of time we spend on each task as a group. Communication skills are a very important way to communicate within a group. Within our group we have done many meetings in a classroom a total of 10. In these meetings we spoke about how far everyone has got on their task they were given, because all tasks were broken up into groups. Problem solving is important because it is very likely for anything to go wrong so we will need a solution or a back up plan. For example while we were doing the assemblies we had a problem of the video not playing in both halls at the same time. That’s why on the Friday 8th February 2013 we made sure we had another video for the year 11. Negotiating is any activity that influences another person. We as a group had to negotiate with Mrs Jarvis to give us prices on printing, and how much we needed to print for the event. For instance we had a variety of prices for the posters, such as different types of paper and different quality of colour printing. Recourse management is the way you use recourses such as financial, human skills, production, IT etc. It is important to balance...

Buildings and Facilities All businesses need premises in which they work on, this can range from a living room to a supermarket. For some businesses the appearance of the business is vital as this is what attracts customers to the business but for other businesses for example, the Virgin Media head offices do not need to look aesthetically pleasing as customers do not go there. In the same way Next have warehouses to keep their stock in which do not need to look appealing as this will not be seen or used by their customers. On the other hand they sell their products in their stores and so without this physical resource...
