In a work environment subject to rapid and significant change, managing workforce inventory and forecasting future needs become increasingly important and, at the same time, more difficult. The complexities of matching needed skills with likely candidate qualifications is a daunting exercise, particularly if you must project what skills will be needed at a future time. Not surprisingly, personnel projections have traditionally been relegated to spreadsheets, statistical averages and considerable guesswork.
