People Analytics Board July 2026 Virtual Meeting - Strategic Workforce Planning in an AI Enabled World
In July, the People Analytics Board will focus on strategic workforce planning as a forward‑looking, enterprise capability—one that goes well beyond headcount forecasting to encompass work, workers, and increasingly, machines. Building on recent board discussions, this session will examine how leading organizations are redefining workforce planning in the context of AI, automation, and shifting operating models.
The conversation will explore how workforce planning is evolving from a retrospective analytics exercise into true “R&D for work”: anticipating how work is constructed, how roles are redesigned, and how human and digital labor are combined over three‑ to five‑year horizons. We’ll discuss the implications for people analytics teams—what they own, where they partner (with HR, IT, finance, and operations), and how governance and accountability must adapt as AI becomes a core input into workforce decisions.
Board members will share practical perspectives on:
- Planning for humans + AI + automation, not just humans
- Integrating internal workforce data with external labor market intelligence
- Clarifying ownership of strategic workforce planning as roles and reporting lines continue to shift
- Reframing workforce planning as an enterprise capability, not a narrow HR process
The session is designed to surface concrete insights that will inform upcoming thought leadership and help clarify how the People Analytics Board defines—and leads—this critical space going forward .
