Resource allocation

Managing government resources requires balancing multiple needs and priorities. Different from the private sector, public resource allocation must consider service continuity and public good above efficiency alone.

Key allocation aspects include:

• Staff distribution and external resources: Assigning people to projects in a way that balances expertise and availability.
• Budget management: Using available funds efficiently while following strict government spending rules.
• Equipment access: Managing shared resources such as design software and testing devices.
• Time planning: Scheduling work to align with government calendars, including time for approvals.

Each resource type has specific rules about how it can be used and shared.

Limited resources don't mean limited results. Creative solutions often emerge when teams need to work within constraints and share resources effectively.
