Unfiltered: David Edwards Reacts Live to the 2026 SWP Big Beautiful Benchmark
70% of organizations still run Strategic Workforce Planning on spreadsheets.
We know. We told you that one already, in our 2026 SWP Big Beautiful Benchmark. But this time, we're not just publishing the number, we're watching someone react to it, live, for the first time.
In this video, we're hosting a webinar with David Edwards, author of The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook, and Vincent Barat, CEO of Albert:
David hasn't seen a single chart from our 2026 Benchmark yet. He's walking in blind, and reacting on camera to results from 109 organizations, in real time.
What to expect:
- An honest, unscripted read of where SWP practices actually stand today
- A conversation about governance, Finance politics, skills frameworks, and the tools organizations lean on (or avoid)
- 30 minutes of live discussion, followed by 15 minutes of audience Q&A
- No pre-agreed narrative, not even between the two speakers
