Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh
27 June 2013

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

In terms of No. of Positions & Est. Value of Prof. Fees, which are our "important" clients? Obviously, more important clients need:

  • more frequent Verbal interaction
  • more frequent Written feedback / position statements

B) CONSULTANT-WISE

Nikmit

Thakur

Mitchelle

Shankar

Total

How much "workload" does each Consultant have at any given point of time?

This analysis can be extended to the REVENUE (est. professional fees) that each consultant is handling (apart from the "no. of vacancies" that he is handling).

This could help us to decide:

  • to provide "temporary" help/assistance to a particular consultant in case of OVERLOAD
  • to "shift" some of the assignments to another consultant who might be UNDERLOADED
  • to hire additional consultants in case of situations of PERMANENT/CONTINUOUS OVERLOAD
  • to "even-out" workload on different Consultants

AGE-WISE (CHRONOLOGY)

Pending From Since

No. of Assignments

April 98

May 98

We aim at executing assignments within 2 months of receipt (later on even faster - once ORDER EXECUTION MODULE software gets installed). Till such time, at each month's end, we must manually compile this statement, so that, we may conclude (based on FACTS & not on hunches/guess) that:

June 98

July 98

Aug. 98

- We need to put in extra efforts and "clear" very old backlog

Sept. 98

- We need to add more consultants (Permanent / Temporary)

Oct 98

- We have no "work" beyond 2 months and therefore we need to step-up our "marketing" efforts
