Most workforce planning still starts with headcount.
But the more strategic question is: Do we have the skills we need to deliver the business strategy?
As AI, automation, and business transformation reshape work, HR and talent leaders need better ways to identify future capability needs, understand skill gaps, and make build/buy/borrow decisions before risks become urgent.
We’ll begin with a short mini-case study, then move into peer discussion on what organizations are actually doing to connect skills strategy with strategic workforce planning.
We’ll explore:
- How organizations are identifying future skill demand
- What skills data is useful enough for workforce planning
- How to avoid overengineering the process before value is proven
This session is designed for HR, Talent, L&D, Workforce Planning, and transformation leaders working through the practical realities of skills-based talent strategy.
Facilitator: Brian Richardson, Founder and CEO of Richardson Consulting Group, advising Fortune 500 leaders on enterprise skills strategy, governance, and workforce transformation.
