Manpower Planning
What next year’s headcount costs, and who you already have.
A planning cycle that starts from a frozen baseline, prices every request at fully-loaded cost, and answers the build-or-buy question from capability data you already hold.
This year, next year, and the phased cost of the difference. The plan opens against a baseline frozen when the cycle started, so variance at year end is measurable rather than arguable, and every request is priced at fully-loaded cost — entitlements, allowances and statutory charges applied per role and spread across the months. Finance sees cash flow, not one annual number dropped on them in November. And the lines below are answerable one by one: who approved this, what it replaces, and whether the capability already exists inside the company.

What the module does
A plan built on a baseline that cannot move
The establishment the plan was built on is kept, so variance at year end is measurable rather than arguable.
Fully-loaded cost, phased across the year
Entitlements, allowances and statutory costs are applied per role and spread by month, so finance sees cash flow rather than one annual number.
Internal supply read from capability
Who could move into a seat comes from assessed capability, which turns a hiring decision into a development decision where that is cheaper.
Build, buy, borrow or automate — weighted
The recommendation states the weights it used, so a leadership team can disagree with the reasoning rather than with the output.
Nationalisation modelled before it is committed
Targets and bands are tested as a scenario first, and a country stays unavailable for modelling until its rules are confirmed.
