Drawing on deep SWP practitioner experience across many global projects, Alicia Roach and Chris Hare will examine the importance of skills-based strategic workforce planning including:

• How SWP brings coherence to the skills conversation
• The questions answered by different skills technologies
• A practical example of applied skills forecasting.

Learn how - by focusing on ambition, action, and invention - Cleveland Clinic went from a single concept slide to an industry-leading SWP department in one year.

Workforce Analytics is an essential partner to Strategic Workforce Planning, and understanding the data behind your organisation's skill resources will unlock far more accurate forecasting and internal mobility.

This session will explore this link, and unravel some of the data sources and methods that will allow accurate and scalable long-term workforce planning.

There are many possible paths to successfully implementing Workforce Planning in an organization. Join this session to hear examples of one person's journey, including building the case for change, convincing senior leaders to commit, the importance of tech tools, and gathering cross-functional teams to build and run Workforce Planning. This will be a discussion session with the opportunity to share your experience or hear about the experiences of other attendees.

This panel discussion will explore the present and future role of AI in Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP). We'll examine the current applications of AI in SWP, such as predictive analytics and talent acquisition, discussing both strengths and weaknesses. These include enhancing efficiency and data insights, while considering challenges like data privacy and potential bias in AI algorithms.

We'll explore emerging AI technologies like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing. We will consider their potential to revolutionise SWP, as well as ethical considerations and potential risks that they pose. As the implications of AI evolve, so too will the required skills and knowledge for SWP professionals. We'll discuss the importance of data literacy, decision-making skills, and a strong understanding of AI ethics.

Lastly, the panel will discuss how to prepare the workforce for an AI-driven future. Upskilling and reskilling initiatives will be vital, as will fostering a culture of lifelong learning.

Nick and Jane review some of the top insights and outcomes from the first day. They will invite the audience to share their own thoughts, feedback, and the best new ideas to have been generated so far.

After a long but hopefully inspiring day, relax and socialise with the other attendees with a cool drink and a few canapes, in the warm afternoon haze of San Diego Mission Bay. All on the house.
