David Edwards - Been there. Done It.
I'm a workforce planning thought leader, but I'm not your regular theory-centred talking head. The advice I give is based on hard experience in the front line.
I'm one of those very rare people who has successfully implemented a full Strategic Workforce Management framework in a large organisation and seen it save millions.
With thirteen years' experience as a hands-on, highly-regarded practitioner, I advise organisations looking to implement workforce planning. I do this by looking not just at the theory and the strategy, but at the mechanics: the details, the processes, the change management, the psychologies - all of the things that you will need to be able to master as you go on your WFP journey.
I'm a prolific writer and speaker on the subject, using storytelling and practical examples to demystify the subject, simplify it, and help others to take their implementations through to successful conclusion.
My new book, The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook, is available to preorder now and will be released on January 3rd, 2026.
