Workforce Planning

Strategic alignment of people supply and demand to business goals.

Workforce planning is the broader, multi-year version of headcount planning — covering build vs buy vs borrow decisions, skill gaps, and succession.

It belongs at the intersection of finance, HR, and the business. The minimum viable artefact is a 12–24 month view of role demand by team, current supply, attrition assumptions, and the gap closure plan (hire, train, contract, automate).
