Proper strategic workforce planning (SWP) is a hugely under-leveraged opportunity for improving business performance and strategy execution. Yet in many organisations, the SWP brand is damaged. We will explore and experiment with a new model for SWP, featuring a radical shift in positioning that is proven to deliver greater value, more quickly and through lightweight and agile approaches.
