Workforce Planning in the Era of AI: What's Changing and What's Next - Workforce Planning & Readiness Exchange

How is AI fundamentally changing the way organizations plan, shape, and deploy their workforce? 

AI is reshaping not only how work gets done, but how workforce planning decisions get made. As organizations rethink skills, productivity, capacity, and organizational design, workforce planning leaders are being asked to move beyond annual headcount forecasts toward more dynamic, business-driven approaches. Yet many are still defining how AI should inform workforce strategy — and where human judgment remains essential. 

This session explores how leading organizations are adapting strategic workforce planning for an AI-enabled future, including the opportunities, challenges, and decisions redefining the discipline. 

Together, we'll explore how to: 

• Move from static headcount plans to dynamic, skills-based planning built for agility. 
• Apply a "build, buy, borrow, or bot" lens to balance talent, automation, and productivity trade-offs. 
• Harness AI to sharpen workforce decisions — without losing human judgment, governance, or context.
