Designing the workforce architecture your business strategy depends on

SWP Summit 2027

From workforce plans to enterprise decisions

A senior, practical summit for leaders connecting people, skills, work, cost and organisation design to the decisions their business needs to make next.

Strategic Workforce Planning is moving beyond annual headcount exercises. It is becoming an enterprise capability for understanding workforce risk, shaping future capability and making better choices about where work, skills and investment should go.

SWP Summit 2027 brings together senior leaders across workforce planning, people analytics, talent, skills, organisation design, transformation and people strategy for one focused day of practical insight and stronger peer discussion.

Built around better decisions

Workforce decisions do not sit in one function

Strategic workforce planning now connects HR, people analytics, talent, skills, organisation design, finance, transformation and business leadership. SWP Summit is built around that decision ecosystem, with an event experience designed for practical insight, peer exchange and meaningful connections.

Experience-led format

Not a passive conference day

The day is designed for people who want to learn from the speakers and the room around them. Delegates hear senior context, compare thinking with peers, work through practical planning challenges together and build useful relationships with others facing similar workforce decisions.

01

Hear the bigger picture

Shared sessions set the strategic context, with expert perspectives on workforce architecture, business performance, skills, AI and organisational change.

02

Compare thinking with peers

Hear how others are approaching similar pressures, share your own thinking and understand how different teams are making workforce decisions.

03

Work through challenges together

Go beyond theory with more interactive sessions that help delegates test ideas, assumptions and approaches with people working on similar problems.

04

Make meaningful connections

Networking is protected throughout the day, giving you time for peer discussion, speaker conversations and relevant introductions.
