Cross-Functional Capacity Alignment and Resource Optimization

Matthew Palicki, Principal Solution Engineer at Rego Consulting, presents a breakout session on achieving true cross-functional capacity alignment and resource optimization. In complex matrix organizations, resource contention across functions — R&D, regulatory, quality, commercial — is one of the most persistent barriers to portfolio execution.

Matthew will share analytical techniques and technology approaches for creating a unified view of cross-functional capacity, identifying bottleneck resources before they delay critical programs, and optimizing resource allocation across the portfolio. The session will include demonstrations of scenario-based capacity modeling and its impact on portfolio throughput.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to move from department-level resource management to enterprise-wide capacity optimization, including practical steps for overcoming the organizational and data challenges that typically impede this transition.
