Founders & Friends Berlin Meetup - Headcount Planning in the Age of AI

​👥 September Edition — Headcount Planning in the Age of AI @ Founders & Friends Berlin

​For years, headcount planning started with a simple question: how many people do we need?

​But when AI agents, automation, freelancers, and external experts can all contribute to a company’s capacity, headcount alone doesn’t tell the whole story anymore.

​This September, we’re exploring what workforce planning actually looks like in the age of AI — and how founders and people leaders should rethink teams, productivity, skills, and growth.

​👉 What to expect

• ​Is headcount still the right metric for scaling?

• ​How AI is changing roles, team structures, and hiring decisions

• ​What new KPIs should companies consider?

• ​The HR & AI tools teams are actually experimenting with

• ​The hidden human workload behind implementing AI

• ​What founders and HR leaders are most concerned about heading into 2027

​And since it’s September in Berlin, expect a little Oktoberfest spirit alongside the conversations. 🍻🥨
