Most strategies assume the workforce will be ready when the organisation needs it. Too often, that assumption is wrong.

Strategic Workforce Planning: Turning Strategy, Skills and Capacity into Delivery shows how to test that assumption before it becomes a costly delivery problem.

Strategic workforce planning is not simply about forecasting headcount or producing an annual workforce plan. It is about understanding whether an organisation will have the capabilities, skills, capacity, leadership and operating model required to deliver its ambitions—and making informed choices where gaps exist.

This practical book will help you:

• Translate business strategy into clear workforce requirements
• Identify critical capabilities, roles and skills
• expose workforce risks before they affect delivery
• Assess gaps between current and future workforce needs
• Explore realistic responses, including building, buying, borrowing, partnering and automation
• Connect workforce decisions with investment, organisation design and business planning
• Turn analysis into a practical, evidence-based roadmap
• Build leadership ownership of workforce choices and trade-offs

Drawing on experience across retail, regulated utilities, infrastructure, charity and the public sector, Rustem Aliiev explains how to make strategic workforce planning credible, proportionate and useful. The book addresses the realities practitioners face: incomplete data, uncertain strategies, competing priorities, limited leadership attention and pressure to provide answers before every detail is known.

Written for workforce planning, HR, people analytics, talent and organisation design professionals, as well as business leaders responsible for strategy and transformation, this book provides a clear framework for moving from insight to options, decisions and delivery.

Because strategy does not fail only during execution. It often fails when its workforce implications are understood too late.
