Long shot - flexible resourcing/deployment

[wilma-bride]

I know this is probably a long shot but I just wondered if anybody worked for a company or organisation who run a flexible resourcing/deployment programme.

I started my new job yesterday and my task is to set up a pilot for flexible resourcing in 3 key areas. However, apart from some background papers, I ave no idea ow it should work or what is involved. I really do't want to have to go back to my boss and ask loads of questions so thought I'd try and use my initiative (ie ask everyone here ). So, anyone know anything about it???

PS If this post doesn't read right it's because my 'h' is not working properly

The theory is that staff who work in different business areas may be drawn upon to work on a particular project or task, without having to physically change job or line management. Work packages would be put together, submitted to a task manager who would choose the most suitable people to complete the task and they would then work together (although not necessarily in the same location) to complete the task.

I know it happens a lot in other government departments - just wondered if it happened in the private sector and if anyone had any experience.
