• undertake a strategic workforce planning maturity assessment
• confirm executive sponsorship and set expectations
• establish governance and accountability measures
• agree linking mechanisms with service, capital works, and technology planning functions
• establish a cross-functional strategic workforce planning team
• reach agreement on planning processes
• identify stakeholders and determine consultation processes.
