The problem

Headcount plans lag business demand because forecasting is manual and infrequent.

The opportunity

What the solution does

Predictive models estimate future headcount needs by function and location.

How it works

Historical hiring, attrition, and business drivers feed scenario forecasts.

Start narrow, define evaluation criteria, involve legal/HR governance early, and measure adoption plus quality — not only model accuracy.
