Strategic Workforce Planning & People Decisions (19-20 October 2026) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, organisations can no longer afford to approach workforce needs simply by filling vacancies as they arise. Having enough people is not the same as having the right people. Building a capable and sustainable workforce requires organisations to anticipate manpower needs, identify critical competencies and make sound people decisions that support both immediate operational requirements and longer-term organisational priorities.


Yet many organisations continue to struggle with workforce gaps, mismatched capabilities, poor selection outcomes, high employee turnover and individuals who may be technically qualified but are not the right fit for the role, team or organisation. When workforce and talent decisions are driven by immediate manpower pressures, intuition or isolated assessment methods, organisations risk making costly people decisions; resulting in repeated hiring cycles, lost productivity, disengagement and valuable time spent correcting decisions that could have been better informed from the beginning.


Strategic Workforce Planning & People Decisions: Building the Right Workforce Through Evidence-Based Talent Practices is designed to help organisations move from reactive manpower responses to more strategic,  structured and evidence-based workforce decisions.


Through an integrated approach, participants will learn how to connect workforce requirements with competencies, talent sourcing, assessment, behavioural evidence, individual differences, job and organisational fit, and professional judgement. Rather than relying on any single method, participants will learn to consider multiple sources of evidence to make more objective, consistent and defensible people decisions.


The programme takes participants through eight interconnected stages of the workforce decision journey; from understanding what people and capabilities the organisation needs, to identifying and assessing talent, evaluating suitability and fit, integrating evidence, making confident decisions and supporting successful onboarding and early talent retention.


Through practical workshops, case discussions, assessment exercises and interactive activities, participants will experience how decisions made at one stage can influence outcomes at the next. Over two intensive days, participants will gain practical tools and approaches to anticipate workforce needs, identify the capabilities that matter, assess talent more effectively and make better-informed people decisions.


Ultimately, the programme is about moving beyond simply filling positions towards building a workforce where the right capabilities are matched to the right roles at the right time; strengthening workforce readiness, organisational fit and sustainable talent success.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Be Among the First in Malaysia to Make AI Your Real Workplace Assistant You’re Already Using AI. But Are You Still Doing Most of the Work? You ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or Claude a question. You get an answer. You edit it. You check it. Then tomorrow, you start all over again. Meanwhile, the pressure keeps building more risks to assess, more audit work to document, more reports to produce, more data to analyse and less time to get everything done. If that sounds familiar, simply learning more prompts is NOT the answer. The next leap is learning how to turn GenAI into a REUSABLE PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW and ultimately, your own AI assistant. FROM “ASK AI” TO “MAKE AI WORK FOR ME” AI-Augmented Risk Management and Internal Audit is an advanced, highly interactive two-day programme designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond basic prompting. Participants will learn how to challenge AI instead of blindly trusting it examining assumptions, exploring alternative scenarios, recognising cognitive bias and applying selected concepts from the DECODA Decision Clarity Architecture (DCA) before accepting AI recommendations. Participants will discover how to transform repetitive work into reusable AI workflows and put GenAI to work across risk identification, risk assessment, risk registers, control recommendations, audit planning, workpapers, executive reporting and fraud risk management. TWO DAYS. ONE BIG SHIFT. By the end of the programme, the goal is no longer: “How do I prompt AI better?” It becomes: “How do I build AI into the way I work without giving up my professional judgement?” The programme culminates in an integrated workplace challenge where participants can design, build and refine their own AI assistant for a recurring professional task from risk and audit reporting to risk registers, audit planning, vendor risk, fraud review or management reporting. AI can generate an impressive-looking analysis in seconds. But would you sign off on it? That is where this programme becomes different. You will also tackle the uncomfortable questions professionals cannot afford to ignore: hallucinations, Validation, confidentiality, data protection, explainability, documentation and AI governance . This is not about replacing the risk manager or internal auditor. It is about creating an AI-augmented professional who can work faster, think critically and make better-informed decisions. And you won’t just watch the trainer do it. You will build it, test it and challenge it yourself. Move beyond prompting. Build reusable AI workflows. Create an AI assistant around the work you actually do. Learn how to harness AI Tools to work faster and smarter while keeping professional judgement firmly in your hands. Do not just chat with AI. Make AI work for you.
