An early look at how CTOs should be planning their workforce for the AI era
A small, invite-only conversation ahead of the Beyond Headcount Blueprint, La Fosse’s practical guide to workforce planning in the AI era.
Workforce planning was built for a stable world. The one CTOs are operating in isn’t. The task mix of most technology roles is changing every twelve months. Headcount is the wrong unit to plan around, and most of the decisions about what comes next are landing on CTOs rather than HR.
This October, La Fosse is bringing together a small group of CTOs for a working conversation before the Beyond Headcount Blueprint goes public. Hosted by Louis Gush, this isn’t a panel or a pitch. It’s a table of people operationally building AI capability right now, talking about what’s actually working.
You’ll see the Blueprint’s findings before anyone outside the Council has, and get a direct say in the conversation before it lands.
On the agenda:
- Hearing the Blueprint’s findings before they go public
- Discussing what workforce-ready technology looks like as agentic AI scales
- Debating where CTOs are now being asked to lead decisions that used to sit with HR
- Shaping the conversation with peers who are building this for real
The conversation will cover:
- Planning for capability, not headcount – what changes when you plan around the work rather than the role?
- Upskilling at pace – why traditional training programmes aren’t moving the dial, and what a live capability system looks like.
- AI agents & governance – where should AI be allowed to make decisions, and who owns the outcome?
- The 18-month window – what do CTOs need in place by 2027 to stay ahead of the AI maturity gap?
Who this is for:
- CTOs and senior technology leaders operating with CTO-level remit
- Leaders building AI capability into their organisation right now, not just talking about it
- By invitation only
