Vemo in 10 – Driver-based Workforce Scenario Planning

From demand signals to reconciled headcount, cost and skills in minutes.
Wednesday, October 15, 2025

This fast demo follows a common decision: how to staff and fund a new product line while meeting a cost target and skill mix. We begin with demand and productivity drivers to project capacity needs, then auto-build role, grade and location plans. We reconcile top-down envelopes with bottom-up requests, quantify trade-offs, and highlight hiring, redeployment and automation levers. Skills coverage and risk are shown against role families. We close with Finance-ready outputs – headcount, cost, timing and sensitivities – plus a one-pager and action list for Talent Acquisition and HR. Integration and governance notes cover data refresh, approvals and version control.

This session will explore
  • Scenario setup – staff a new product line within a fixed cost envelope and timeline.
  • Drivers to demand – translate revenue, throughput and service targets into capacity and role demand.
  • Plan build – auto-allocate by role, grade and location; overlay skills coverage and risk.
  • Reconcile views – align top-down budgets with bottom-up asks; highlight gaps, trade-offs and mitigations.
  • What-if analysis – hiring vs automation vs redeployment; timing and sensitivity bands for CFO challenge.
  • Outputs and hand-off – Finance-ready headcount and cost tables, hiring plan, and a one-pager for TA and HR.
Learning objectives
  • Construct a driver-based plan that links demand signals to headcount, cost and timing.
  • Reconcile top-down and bottom-up scenarios and surface the trade-offs clearly.
  • Quantify the impact of hiring, redeployment and automation on capacity and spend.
  • Check skills coverage at role-family level to target critical risk areas.
  • Export Finance-ready outputs that speed approvals and guide Talent Acquisition actions.

Why this is on the agenda

CFO scrutiny on workforce cost and capacity has intensified as AI shifts role design and productivity. Leaders need a repeatable way to connect demand signals to hiring, redeployment and spend, with scenarios that reconcile quickly and withstand challenge. Driver-based models reduce cycle time, expose trade-offs and create a single source of truth for HR and Finance.
