Workforce Planning for Digital Transformation 

Digital transformation initiatives fail more often due to people issues than technology. Workforce planning is therefore essential for success. 

It involves identifying the new skills required (e.g., data scientists, AI specialists, change managers) and assessing the current workforce’s capability gap. 

The plan must include a robust change management and reskilling strategy to bring existing employees along on the journey. It also requires planning for new roles and potentially phasing out legacy roles. 

By proactively managing the talent side of transformation, companies can ensure their people are ready, willing, and able to adopt new technologies and ways of working.
