Strategic Workforce Planning

Organizations are seeking to leverage human capital to differentiate and gain a competitive advantage in today’s rapidly changing business environment. One significant advantage often comes through talent strategies linked to business strategies. Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) connects talent strategy to actionable, integrated talent management and business plans. SWP practitioners play the role of diagnostician, analyst, educator and solution orchestrator to focus human resources (HR) and organizational resources for maximum impact within their organizations.

In this course, students will learn SWP processes and techniques grounded in a data-driven approach. There will be a heavy focus on the practical application of SWP in today’s business context. Students intending to pursue careers in any HR domain will benefit from this course.
