    Winning hearts, changing minds: Resource management through a legal lens

    In this episode of Resource Revolution, we’re joined by Lauren Davison, Senior Resource Manager at a UK law firm, to explore how resource management is taking shape in the legal sector—where wellbeing is driving the agenda. Lauren reflects on moving from the structure of a well-oiled machine to a sector where resource management is still emerging—but where firms have already recognized the importance of people-first resourcing. She shares how to win hearts and minds, manage change one conversation at a time, and why showing teams you’re working with them—not for them—is key. It’s a candid look at the learning curves and small victories that define resource management when no two days are ever the same.

    Unfiltered and unmissable: Wayne Kaplan on the resource management conundrum

    In this episode of The Resource Revolution, we ask the tough questions—and Wayne Kaplan brings the real answers. Wayne, former Office Managing Partner and Audit Practice Leader at Grant Thornton, takes us way back (like, Moby Dick was a guppy back) to the roots of “scheduling” and walks us through RM’s evolution—or lack thereof. He reveals the true superpower of resource managers—and why it’s hiding in plain sight. Expect mic drop moments, t-shirt-worthy one-liners (“Let’s not confuse availability with suitability,” anyone?), and a rallying cry for leaders to do something about poor resource management instead of just complaining. This one’s packed with wit, wisdom, and a few "Wayne-isms" you’ll want to steal. Spoiler: Christine’s new tagline “It’s not about getting invited to the meeting—it’s about getting invited again.”
