The processor may be operative to determine a projected workforce dataset based on the baseline dataset, the projected workforce dataset describing projected employees required by the organization. The processor may assess the baseline dataset and employee movement strategies to determine a forecasted available workforce dataset describing forecasted employees available to the organization. The processor may determine a gap between the projected workforce dataset and the forecasted available workforce dataset. The processor may generate a workforce service plan which describes strategies for eliminating the gap and may provide the plan to a user. The processor may receive updates to the baseline dataset and may assess the updates to determine whether the plan is being effectively implemented.
