Workforce Planning Workgroup

Boston, MA
November 9, 2010

Issue-Based Meetings, Peer-to-Peer Decision Support

HCI’s Executive Workgroups are centered entirely on peer-to-peer discussion, and feature a unique decision support tool our members call ‘decision-benchmarking’:  One-page summaries of the decisions and problems that sit on members’ desks.  Examples of previous decision benchmarking exercises include:

  • Beyond the 2-5 Year Workforce Planning Horizon (Led by Dean Noble, Lubrizol Corporation)
  • Defining and Prioritizing Modeling and Analytics Objectives (Led by Bob Motion, Raytheon Company)
  • Developing Global Workforce Planning Standards in a Complex Environment (Led by James Gallman, Holcim Group Ltd)

These short summaries are followed by group discussion and breakout sessions led by skilled and experienced facilitators.  The result:  members walk away from each session with practical input from their peers that they can begin to implement immediately, as well as a new set of durable relationships that they can continue to leverage at HCI’s member-only portal.

Agenda: Developing Analytical Capabilities

In our November 9 meeting, we’ll discuss specific strategies and tactics that members have employed to develop analytical capabilities to improve workforce planning. Topics for discussion include, but are not limited to, the areas outlined below.

Developing agile
WFP models
  • Procuring and training a team equipped to drive meaningful WFP analytics/ modeling efforts
  • Building a fundamentally solid supply & demand model for the workforce
  • Equipping the model with 24/7/365 flexibility
 
Building Tactical WFP Partnerships
  • Promoting forward-looking SWFP to stakeholders through efforts through communication, education, and integration
  • Encouraging a WFP mindset that balances short-term urgencies of the New Normal with the strategic, long-term importance of a talent-starved global economy
  • Integrating information-gathering WFP efforts into existing processes
 
Aligning Workforce Planning Output with Business & Strategy Goals
  • Envisioning a framework for the enterprise to scale WFP efforts across units
  • Building a data management capability that enable not just increased information, but increased insights
  • Getting WFP Efforts from the end of the Strategic Planning process to the beginning
