For too long, workforce planning has been reduced to spreadsheets, headcount forecasts, and one-off restructures. But in a world of constant disruption, this reactive approach is not just outdated, it’s a liability. Most HR teams still lack the visibility, operating models, and planning maturity to anticipate change and align workforce decisions with long-term business goals.

To thrive in this new era, organizations must evolve beyond episodic transformation. Enter the Intentional Enterprise, a new model where workforce planning becomes a continuous, deliberate, strategic capability. It starts by understanding the work, not just the roles, and it requires moving from siloed planning to integrated organizational design. Those who get it right build a resilient, agile workforce aligned with future value creation. Those who don’t? They’ll keep fighting expensive fires, losing talent, and falling behind.

Learn from global HR and transformation leaders who share how they’re evolving workforce planning into a future-ready capability. Learn how to design smarter planning systems that better align with business strategy, and become a more intentional enterprise, driven by purpose, not disruption.
