Is Your 2026 Headcount Plan Built to Last?
Most PS firms still plan headcount in spreadsheets and react to changes after the fact. The result? Hiring whiplash, overloaded stars while bench grows elsewhere, and margin drift by Q2. Firms that win 2026 will connect demand → skills → capacity → margin and refresh plans off one version of the truth—every month, not once a year. That’s the spirit of RMI’s Just-in-Time Resourcing (JIT-R): a practical operating model that creates a 4–6-month forward view, a living skills inventory, and cross-functional interlocks so staffing choices map to financial goals.
Bottom line: spreadsheet planning isn’t just slow—it hides risk, fuels over/under-hiring, and erodes margin before you see it.
There’s a Better Way
In this session, RMI pairs its JIT-R framework with BigTime’s patterns from 3,000+ PS firms to show how to turn pipeline and delivery demand into a 12-month headcount plan you can defend—then keep it aligned all year. You’ll see how a centralized data foundation and a cadence of Sales–Delivery–Finance interlocks make hiring vs. backfill vs. contractor decisions clear and timely. (Yes, we’ll also show where AI actually helps once the data and process are solid.)
In This Webinar, You’ll Learn How To:
- Apply JIT-R to build a 4–6-month forward view and convert it into a 12-month hiring plan with clear guardrails (utilization, margin, skills).
- Standardize skills & capacity so you spot bench/overload early—and decide hire vs. backfill vs. contract with confidence.
- Align finance and delivery with recurring interlocks and one source of truth—no more dueling spreadsheets.
- Strengthen the data foundation that enables practical AI (skills matching, scenario planning, variance analysis) without losing essential human judgment.
Who Can Benefit?
COOs, CFOs, PS leaders, resource managers, RevOps/FP&A, and project leaders at services firms planning 2026 headcount.
Why Register?
Because annual headcount planning has become a competitive advantage: firms that centralize data, run JIT-R rhythms, and scenario-plan before committing avoid mid-year resets and protect margin. Attend the webinar and walk away with a repeatable cadence you can run quarterly in 2026 – grounded in RMI best practices and battle-tested BigTime patterns.
