 As a person who has spent way too many years managing many projects, working with a lot of financial people, and who has worked to improve the results of a lot of organizations, one thing I was expected to focus on was "utilization rates" for people. The thinking seems straight-forward - if we are paying a certain amount of money for a person we can increase the return (value produced) associated with that person by making sure, at a minimum, that the person is working all the time and is always busy. As result I'd work to ensure that people were 90%, 100% utilized and be happy when people reported 110% utilization. As a person who has spent way too many years managing many projects, working with a lot of financial people, and who has worked to improve the results of a lot of organizations, one thing I was expected to focus on was "utilization rates" for people.
