The official meet up for resource managers and operational leaders
Build the resource management team
of the future
Resource management is changing fast.
Expectations are rising. Margins are tightening. And the role is shifting from coordination to something far more commercially critical.
Hosted by Christine Robinson, Strategic Advisor, Dayshape and Former Global Head of Resource Management (Big Four) alongside Lisa Kavanagh, Resource Management Specialist, Grant Thornton IE - this session is designed to help you understand what that actually looks like, and how to start making that shift in your own team.
This is not a panel or presentation.
It’s a discussion-led session bringing together resource managers from across the UK to share what’s working, what’s not, and what to try next.
When:
13 May, 2026, from 5.30 PM
Where:

About Resource ManageMeet
Resource ManageMeet is a community for resource managers and operational leaders who want to elevate the role of resource management within their organisations.
We created it to fill a gap — there isn’t a regular forum in the UK for RM professionals to come together, share experiences, and learn from each other in a practical, open way.
The sessions are designed to go beyond theory, focusing on real-world challenges, peer insight, and actionable ideas. It’s a space to discuss what’s working, what’s not, and how the role is evolving across different firms.
At its core, it’s about connection — bringing together people who understand the pressures, opportunities, and complexity of resource management, and creating a network that supports each other as the function continues to evolve.
