Skills-Based Workforce Planning
Skills-Based Workforce Planning is the use of skills intelligence to understand what capabilities exist in the workforce today and what will be needed to execute future business strategy. It consolidates fragmented skills data from CVs, HRIS, LMS, performance reviews, and project histories into a unified, current skills profile at the individual, team, and organizational level. This enables HR and business leaders to see where there are surpluses, gaps, and misalignments between talent supply and strategic demand. AI is used to infer, standardize, and continuously update skills profiles, and to match them against projected role and project requirements. By doing so, organizations can make better decisions on whether to hire, upskill, redeploy, or automate, improving staffing speed and workforce agility. This application directly supports strategic workforce planning, targeted talent development, and more efficient use of learning and recruitment budgets.
The Problem
“Unify skills data and forecast gaps to plan hiring, reskilling, and redeployment”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Skills data is scattered across HRIS, ATS, LMS, and documents with inconsistent taxonomies
Workforce plans rely on manual spreadsheets and stale role-based assumptions
Leaders can’t quantify skill gaps vs. strategic initiatives, so hiring/reskilling is reactive
