The workforce is changing. Is the way we plan it keeping up?
How many people will your organization need next year? Which skills will matter most? What happens when AI agents start taking on tasks previously performed by employees?
And could the workforce plans of tomorrow include not only headcount and salaries, but also AI agents, automation capacity, and token budgets?
AI is changing how we work, how we organize teams, and how we think about productivity. The boundaries between human work and AI-powered capabilities are shifting, bringing new questions for HR, Finance, and business leaders.
Yet many organizations still plan their workforce through separate Excel files, HR exports, and finance spreadsheets. Slow consolidation, limited visibility, and manual processes make it difficult to respond even to today's challenges, let alone prepare for tomorrow's.
Workforce planning is becoming much more than a headcount exercise. It's about understanding people, skills, costs, and capacity, connecting them to business priorities, and making informed decisions in an increasingly unpredictable environment.
So, how do we connect today's workforce planning challenges with tomorrow's possibilities?
Join us for Solvership Business Breakfast: Connecting People, Cost and Business Strategy, organized in cooperation with IBM, where HR leaders, business professionals, and technology experts will come together to explore the trends, transformations, and practical realities shaping the future of workforce planning.
From the evolving role of HR and the rise of AI agents to workforce cost planning, scenario simulations, and data-driven decisions, we'll discuss what organizations need to rethink — and what they can start improving today.
Expect thought-provoking conversations, real-world examples, practical insights, and the opportunity to exchange experiences with peers.
This event is free of charge.

Setting the scene for a morning about the changing workforce, the decisions shaping its future, and the importance of connecting people, costs, and business strategy.

How is the HR industry changing, and what lies ahead?
An open conversation about the trends reshaping HR, the evolution of skills and roles, and the growing influence of AI on how organizations operate.
We'll challenge traditional assumptions about workforce planning and explore a provocative question: Could future workforce plans include AI agents and token budgets alongside employees and personnel costs?
10:10–10:35 | Workforce Planning in Action: What If Everything Changes?
What if recruitment takes longer than expected? What if salaries increase or attrition rises? How quickly can HR and Finance understand the consequences?
Through practical planning scenarios, we'll demonstrate how the Solvership Workforce Planning Model, built on IBM Planning Analytics, connects workforce data, costs, and business assumptions to support faster, more informed decisions.
10:35–11:00 | Coffee Break

How do organizations move from disconnected planning processes to a more strategic approach?

11:40–12:30 | Networking & Lunch
Continue the discussion, exchange experiences, and explore the questions that matter most to your organization. What currently slows down your workforce planning? Which scenarios would you like to explore faster? And what would you change about your current planning process?
Stay for lunch and more conversations with fellow participants and experts.
