Top Six Steps for Defining and Tracking Utilization
The concept of utilization is one of the key building blocks of any profitable professional services organization.
To run a PS business, managers must understand how productive their consulting staff is. Billable utilization is a key indicator of that productivity, yet many companies continue to debate the appropriate way to calculate this fundamental metric.
- What number should be used when determining the total available hours for each consultant?
- Should the total available hours be modified from country to country to accommodate variances in holidays, vacation, and workweek policies?
- If there is no standard way to calculate utilization, how can geographies compare productivity?
This checklist outlines TSIA's recommended methodology for calculating utilization for PS delivery staff.
