June 2026: Lessons From Chicago: Defining the Future of SWP

July 3, 2026

Strategic Workforce Newsletter – June 2026 

Lessons From Chicago: Defining the Future of SWP

In June’s Newsletter, we recapped our conversations from the SWP Conference hosted in Chicago this past May. We compared how the central question has shifted from “Should we use AI?” in 2025 to “Is adapting to workforce transformation changing workforce planning’s strategic goal?” in 2026.

We built on the foundations of our latest series–Preparing For The Now Whatby synthesizing the key lessons from the conference. In this newsletter, we covered how organizations can move beyond speed planning and pivot toward purpose-driven resilience. At Vemo, we’re here to help organizations transition from reactive workforce redesign to long-term, sustainable organizational strength. As we shift the conversation, we’re preparing organizations to understand how workforce planning can drive revenue growth and mitigate talent risk. 

We’re here to help you make a clearer, more goal-oriented workforce plan. In addition to our latest series, you can download our Workforce Planning Workbook to start building the muscle. Turn these frameworks into action by identifying the roles that truly drive strategy versus where AI is reshaping work, understanding where capability gaps may emerge, and mapping practical talent and investment choices.

Want to start workforce planning? Build the muscles first.

Many organizations know they need strategic workforce planning—but it’s not always clear where to begin. That’s why we created a practical, muscle-building guide to help you get started.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify the workforce roles that shape planning decisions
  • Build a practical starting point for ongoing workforce planning
  • Map out potential talent strategies
  • Define an investment strategy for core roles in your organization

You don’t need a perfect model to start workforce planning. You need to start building the muscle—learning how to assess your organization, understand the capabilities required for performance, and identify where gaps may emerge.

Download the guide and start building your workforce planning muscles today.
