12-24 Month Engineering & Technical Talent Plan Canvas
Most engineering and technical businesses know they need to plan ahead for talent — but few have a structured way to do it. This canvas gives your leadership team a single page to align on business goals, forecast headcount needs, and agree priorities before the pressure is on.
Download the Talent Plan Canvas (PPTX)What this tool covers
A facilitated canvas covering six areas, designed to be completed in one session:
- Business context and strategic goals for the next 12-24 months
- Current team headcount by function and discipline
- 12-24 month demand forecast broken down by quarter
- Strategic talent priorities — skills gaps, succession risks, growth roles
- Make vs buy vs build decisions for each priority area
- Support needed from your recruitment partner to deliver the plan
How to use it
Designed for a 60-minute leadership session. Work through each section in order, using the prompts in each box to guide the discussion. The completed canvas becomes your talent plan on a page. Review and update it quarterly.
Who it is for
- Engineering and operations directors planning headcount for the next growth phase
- HR and people leads who need to anchor workforce planning to strategic goals
- Any business managing skills gaps in technical teams and wanting to get ahead of them
