Plan capability, not just headcount.
Future demand minus current capability is a gap. The gap can be hired, developed, moved, partnered or augmented.
The problem
Headcount plans say how many people. They rarely say which capability is scarce, or which people already sit next to it.
The decision
For this capability, should we build, hire, borrow, move or augment — and what are we assuming?
What the organisation sees
The organisation sees employment data, organisation assessments, organisation learning, organisation projects, and anything the person explicitly shares for that application or programme.
What the individual controls
Private career uncertainty is not an input to a workforce plan.
Elevate. Scale. Inspire.
