Abstract:
1. This intro presentation is delivered by Valkeen’s CEO Marc Neckermann. He will outline why RPM is the new PPM and why the recent pandemic massively accelerates the inevitable new work order. Corporations with resource transparency have a huge competitive advantage in times significantly characterized by constant change while employees work remotely in virtual environments. Business Agility is the ability to adapt to change as an entire corporation. But how to do that without knowing your most crucial assets – your resources.

Title: PPM Roadmap @ Lonza & Why reporting should come first

Abstract:

At LONZA we were struggling with achieving and maintaining sufficient PPM data quality in the past. Consequently, it was difficult for executives to use the data as a robust source for decision making. So what did it take to make PPM work? This presentation will outline how we at LONZA significantly increased data quality and regained trust in planning data by combining Tempus Resource with a newly developed PPM reporting, aiming on improved usage of the system.
