CASE STUDYSTRATEGIC
WORKFORCE PLAN
A multi-national company required assistance to align their future workforce needs in emerging capabilities against aggressive growth ambitions, whilst managing lower than expected financial performance
THE CHALLENGE
STRATEGY

Unclear strategic plan and low maturity in emerging yet critical capabilities limited the ability to execute against defined business goals and deliver a consistent and compelling customer value proposition

CAPABILITY

Missing capability and high forecast demand gap across 10 critical roles was impeding the ability to respond quickly to customer demands and deliver a compelling digital offering. The organisation was struggling to attract and retain the requisite capabilities in a competitive market and had high exposure to contingent workers

OPERATIONAL

The most likely agreed scenario required a workforce increase of 30%, however a projected supply shortfall of 70% by 2022 was predicted meaning a “do nothing” approach would see the business model fail
