SWP: The Real Deal
workforce planning moments that made a difference.
Release Date: Wednesday 16th July
Forget the theory—this is SWP in the real world. Industry pros Kevin Moss and Russell Klosk from Deloitte join Nick Kennedy as they share candid stories of how companies tackled major workforce planning challenges and came out stronger. Packed with practical insights, fast stats, and real results, this session is designed to fuel your thinking in just 30 minutes.
BONUS: ‘Must or Dust’ segment—where the speakers give their rapid-fire verdicts on today’s hottest SWP trends, tools, and tactics. What’s essential? What’s expendable? Get the unfiltered truth from those in the trenches.
Must or Dust Scenarios :
1. Skills Taxonomies from Vendors (e.g., Workday, Degreed, LinkedIn)
Are out-of-the-box skills libraries really helping… or just adding noise?
2. Annual Workforce Planning Cycles
In today’s volatile landscape, is an annual cycle enough—or dangerously outdated?
3. Scenario Planning for All Business Units
Is it practical and scalable, or does it lead to diminishing returns?
4. AI-Powered Demand Forecasting Tools
Smart prediction or tech overkill? What’s delivering value today?
5. Org Design as a Separate Process from SWP
Should org design live on its own island, or be fully integrated with workforce planning?
6. SWP Owned by HR Alone
Is this limiting impact? Should business leaders co-own the strategy?
7. Skills-First Hiring Over Traditional Job Titles
Is it the future of workforce alignment—or just a great idea struggling in practice?
8. Custom-Built SWP Dashboards for Every BU
Do bespoke dashboards increase engagement—or create unmanageable complexity?
9. Using Generative AI to Write Workforce Plans
Time-saver or trust-buster? Can GenAI really handle the nuance of strategic planning?
10. Buying a Fancy New SWP Tool to “Start Doing SWP”
Can you buy strategy off the shelf… or is this just lipstick on a legacy process?
