Workforce planning

Measure before you scale

Convincing the organisation to invest in anticipating skills is often harder than the subject itself. We start from a measurable pilot, on a controlled scope: its results make the case for what comes next.

A mandate story

A poorly anticipated wave of retirements

Situation
A technical department was about to see nearly a third of its staff retire within the same eighteen-month window.
Roadblock
Nobody had measured the scale in time, and a full audit would have taken months.
Breakthrough
A rapid diagnosis identified the most critical positions to secure first.
Result
An action plan targeting those roles, launched before the departures began.

Your challenge, our answer

What we hear most often

“Management isn't convinced.”A pilot on a limited scope costs little and delivers results before any request for resources.
“Teams are wary.”They help build the plan in co-design workshops.
“We lack data.”Our diagnosis combines turnover, skills gaps and targeted interviews.

How it works

Five steps, with a pilot at the core

  1. Scoping and governance

    Aligning objectives, mapping stakeholders, who signs off on what and when.

  2. Participatory diagnosis

    Turnover data, skills gaps, interviews and workshops with the people living the situation.

  3. Co-design workshops

    Stakeholders build the roadmap. They adopt it all the more readily.

  4. Pilot on a controlled scope

    The roadmap is tested on one department or team, with indicators defined upfront.

  5. Results and roll-out decision

    Results are shared. They become the case for extending the approach.

A complete approach

Modular pricing

From diagnosis to roll-out plan

Each step is priced separately: you commit to the next one in light of the results.

  • Scoping, participatory diagnosis and co-design workshops
  • Pilot in one department, with measured results
  • Roll-out plan for the organisation

Each step has a flat fee announced at our first conversation, not indexed to salaries. You decide what comes next, step by step.

This may not be for you if…

  • You expect a turnkey plan, without involving your teams.

In that case, we will tell you at our first conversation: our approach won't be the right one for your organisation.
