The pace of change across industries has outstripped even the most well-intentioned strategic plans. Talent shortages, technological disruption, hybrid work expectations, and competitive volatility require organizations to rethink how they attract, develop, deploy, and retain their workforce. In this dynamic, 60-minute live session, W. Gray McDowell will share a practical, future-focused framework for building an agile workforce strategy — one that aligns talent, leadership, and organizational design to shifting business priorities.
Participants will explore how to combine human-centered practices, data-driven insights, and adaptive planning to ensure their talent strategy keeps up with rapid market demands.
Attendees will walk away with actionable tools and approaches they can immediately apply in their organizations.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Define the core principles of an agile workforce strategy and explain how agility differs from traditional workforce planning models.
2. Identify high-impact talent levels (including capability development, role redesign, leadership alignment, and internal mobility) that enable rapid organizational response.
3. Apply agile planning techniques (e.g., iterative capacity planning, scenario modeling, skill-based workforce design) to adapt talent strategies in unpredictable market conditions.
4. Assess organizational readiness for agility using behavioral, cultural, and structural indicators tied to change resilience.
5. Develop an action-oriented roadmap to enhance workforce adaptability in 30, 60, and 90 days.
