4 December 2025
18:00-19:00 GMT
As AI changes tasks and capacity, classic headcount planning falls short. In this panel, three experienced practitioners will share how they identify AI‑sensitive roles, build scenario models, and track modern KPIs that resonate with the C‑suite. Expect practical methods for connecting scenarios to budget, risk and capability decisions, plus examples of action plans that keep strategy, cost and resilience aligned.
Learning outcomes
- Prioritise roles and capabilities using an AI impact heat‑map.
- Construct two to three scenarios and quantify workforce, cost, risk.
- Define KPIs that signal agility, resilience and workforce ROI.
- Build an action plan tied to C‑suite decisions and timelines.

This session explores
- Mapping AI-exposed roles and critical capabilities using pragmatic assessment approaches.
- Building scenarios that balance agility, risk, cost, and workforce resilience.
- Quantifying demand and internal supply; creating transparent gap closure options.
- Modern KPIs including automation-adjusted capacity, time-to-skill, redeployability, cost-to-serve.
- Action plans linking workforce moves to C‑suite priorities and trade‑offs.
Why this matters
AI and automation are reshaping work mix, cycle times and cost structures. Boards expect plans that quantify risk, redeploy capacity and protect margins, while regulators and investors scrutinise workforce disclosures. Leaders need workforce plans that can flex with automation scenarios and still align to budget, service and capability goals.
