Workforce Readiness Plan

A structured plan that defines the AI skills, roles, and capabilities the organization needs to execute its transformation program, assesses current workforce gaps, and specifies the training, hiring, and capability-building interventions required to close those gaps by the time they are needed.

What this means in practice

It prevents transformation programs from stalling because the organization lacks the human capability to execute them.

Context in the COMPEL framework

Produced in the Organize stage and directly feeds the Training and Adoption Plan in the Produce stage. Skills gaps identified here must be closed before the teams that need them enter the Model stage.

Where you see this

Workforce Readiness Plan is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Organize and Produce stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
