Skills, Security Clearance & AI: How Do You Plan a Workforce in a Rapidly Evolving Environment?

The HR World are hosting an exclusive panel discussion event to discuss and explore the challenges and solutions around managing and recruiting people within the public sector at a time of significant change and technological development.

Skills, Security Clearance and AI: How Do You Plan a Workforce in a Rapidly Evolving Environment?,  brings together a panel of experts to identify and discuss the challenges and potential solutions public sector organisations can use to create a maintain an effective workforce.

This discussion comes at a time when organisations – particularly across government and defence – are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less. Demand for skills and pressures on the talent pool means workforce planning is becoming significantly more complex while rapid advances in AI, together with the constraints of security clearance are reshaping how talent can be accessed, deployed, and developed.

Despite the pressures organisations need to effectively plan and build a workforce that is secure, skilled, and adaptable and this event will bring together HR and Talent leaders operating within secure and regulated environments to explore how they can respond to these challenges in a practical and sustainable way.

The discussion is set to address:

  • How to anticipate and plan for rapidly evolving skills needs in the age of AI
  • Strategies to navigate the impact of security clearance requirements on talent availability and workforce flexibility
  • The balance between immediate delivery pressures with long-term capability and workforce development
  • How to leverage AI to support workforce planning, productivity, and decision-making
  • Building resilient, future-ready workforce models across government, defence, and the wider public sector

The evening will also provide an opportunity for attendees to connect with peers over drinks & canapés in an informal setting.

Attendees will leave with sharper thinking on how to assess readiness and lead the reinvention their organisations now need.
