EVENT

Preparing for SWP: Choices, challenges, and change

Join LACE Partners for an invitation-only executive roundtable for senior HR leaders who are preparing to begin strategic workforce planning—or are already underway and want to benchmark, share lessons, and refine their approach. We’ll focus on the early choices that matter—defining the business problem (capacity, capability, or cost), setting governance and cadence, and aligning stakeholders—while comparing what’s working in more mature programmes.

Whether you are at step one or step ten, you’ll cut through data-readiness myths, prioritise the right first use cases, and plan early wins that build sponsorship—keeping people at the centre throughout.

This event is invitation only and we are limiting to those professionals who have responsibility for SWP within their business. However, if you would like to express your interest in attending, you can do so via the registration link on this page.

This evening, we will:

  • Clarify the choices for new starters (scope, operating model, governance, cadence) and stress-test approaches for those already executing.

  • Anticipate the challenges: data “good enough,” stakeholder alignment, funding, resourcing, and momentum beyond the first ninety days.

  • Plan the change: adoption tactics, communications, and early wins that link SWP to real business decisions.

  • Learn from peers: compare playbooks, pitfalls, and patterns that deliver value—so newcomers start strong and experienced teams sharpen their roadmap.
