Beyond Headcount: The People Leaders Roundtable - Workforce Planning in the AI Era
AI isn't coming for your workforce plan. It already has one.
CPOs and HRDs are being asked to rebuild their people strategy in real time - against a planning rhythm that was never designed for this pace of change. The tools are moving faster than the org chart. The skills you need in Workforce 2027 don't exist yet. And the board wants answers now.
On 7th October, La Fosse is bringing together a small group of senior people leaders for an invite-only working breakfast and structured discussion. No slides. No pitches. A room full of people navigating the same pressures - with something useful to say about them.
The conversation feeds the Beyond Headcount Blueprint - La Fosse's practical guide for UK leaders on workforce planning in the AI era, co-authored with the AI Workforce Council, a hand-picked group of ten senior AI and technology leaders from across the UK. The Blueprint publishes in October 2026 and will be distributed to thousands of leaders across the UK.
As a roundtable attendee, you'll receive early access to the Blueprint before it goes public - along with a seat in the conversation that shaped it.
You'll leave with:
A clearer picture of how your peers are approaching AI workforce planning right now
Early access to the Beyond Headcount Blueprint before public release
A peer network of CPOs and HRDs working through the same challenges
This is for you if you are:
A CPO, CHRO, HRD or senior people leader in a mid-to-large UK business
Responsible for workforce planning, capability building or organisational design
Wrestling with what AI means for how you hire, train and retain talent in Workforce 2027
