Workforce Planning Conference 2014

The theme for this 4th Annual is knowledge exchange on the variety of ways organizations are reconfiguring workforce planning & applying human capital analytics to support business transformation and realize positive business results.

This presents a tremendous new opportunity for human resource practitioners

Every large scale business today is engaged in thinking about the transformation of its business.

What it must become. What are the risks of not becoming this?

And what human capital capability is needed to get there.

Senior Executive Leadership and heads of businesses have never been more open to the involvement of HR and Talent Management to support them with their factual knowledge of the levers of talent and management of the employee life cycle

Finance and IT are open to collaborating with HR, and the workforce intelligence in the organization from technical tools, systems, people, and processes is converging with an evidence based , analytics mindset to reconfigure a workforce planning function within the context of business transformation. There is no cookie cutter formula, nor are companies finding this easy. Culture change is never so.

Most companies identify themselves as being engaged on this journey. Many firms are bunched around the beginning. However the question is not “how do I get started”. It is rather “how do I begin to make inroads in embedding this direction in my company?”

Today an advancing analytics capability in companies is being matched with tremendously enhanced access to data that can drive insight and decisions. It is the practitioners who are doing this work, wherever they sit in the organization, often in collaboration”
