Strategic Workforce Planning Exchange

Strategic workforce planning positions organizations to meet their objectives but few are using it to improve strategic talent decisions.

Workforce planning is on the rise. Recent i4cp research found that three of four companies surveyed reported workforce planning activity with a third planning new initiatives in the coming 12 months. But effectiveness remains a challenge, with much of this activity remaining tactical and operational.

Learn how high-performing organizations are effectively executing strategic workforce planning in i4cp's Strategic Workforce Planning Exchange, which examines the practices of high performance organizations, while offering members the opportunity to share experiences in improving talent decisions, mitigating talent risk and creating competitive advantage.

Difficult to Execute. Essential to Implement.

Most companies recognize the value of strategic workforce planning (SWP), but few are seeing real results. SWP needs to become a part of the business planning process, but taking it from theory to practice - in other words, executing - and making connections between corporate and strategic objectives - continues to be a challenge for many organizations.

This group examines how to overcome the challenges many face when they attempt to take SWP from theory to practice. It presents participants with state-of-the-art research of what high-performance organizations are doing to drive SWP practices. The working group reviews case studies, tools, techniques and examples on how to properly execute SWP and embed it into the overall business planning process. Specifically Exchange members:

• Identify the drivers of successful workforce planning that create a compelling business case and need to change core business processes.
• Learn how to use data to create a foundation in workforce analytics, workforce segmentation and talent value creation.
• Learn how to build effective relationships with line managers to improve the dialogue about strategic talent requirements.
• Hear case studies and share tools and techniques of how leading companies have successfully integrated strategic workforce planning into the discipline of their business planning processes.
