Strategic Workforce Redesign for AI and Automation Training Course in Kisumu, Kenya
Classroom training in Kisumu · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Generative AI, robotic process automation and machine learning are changing what jobs consist of faster than most organisations can update their structures, grading or training plans. Leaders who wait risk redundancies handled badly, scarce skills poached by competitors and new tools that nobody uses well. Over five days you learn to break roles into tasks, rate each task for automation and augmentation potential, and translate the results into future headcount, skills and cost scenarios. Sessions cover strategic workforce planning methods, skills taxonomies, job architecture and organisation design, change impact assessment and responsible AI principles, including transparency with staff and consultation with employee representatives.
Later sessions turn analysis into action: redeployment and reskilling pathways, build, buy, borrow or bot sourcing decisions, revised job descriptions, and a phased roadmap with measures that boards can track. You practise with role inventories from banking, telecoms, public service and shared-services operations. It suits HR directors, HR business partners, workforce planners, organisation development specialists, talent and learning leads and transformation managers. Afterwards you can lead a credible redesign conversation with executives and unions. You can attend in a classroom, join online or book it in-house, and you receive a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
AI assistants, automation platforms and analytics tools now perform parts of many jobs in finance, customer operations, administration and professional services. The question for employers is no longer whether roles will change, but how quickly, which tasks will move, and what the people currently doing them will do next. Organisations that redesign deliberately can capture productivity gains while retaining institutional knowledge; those that react piecemeal tend to see morale fall, skills gaps widen and expensive technology underused.
The Strategic Workforce Redesign for AI and Automation Training Course gives HR and business leaders a structured method for that redesign. It starts with task-level analysis of current roles and an honest assessment of what technology can and cannot do, then moves to scenario-based workforce planning, skills gap analysis and the design of new roles, spans and reporting lines. Participants examine sourcing options, reskilling and redeployment programmes, ethical and employee-relations considerations, and the governance needed to keep the redesign on track once implementation begins.
Teaching is workshop-based. Participants bring or are given a sample business unit, analyse its roles step by step and finish the week with a redesign proposal, a skills transition plan and a set of measures to present to senior leadership.
Training Objectives
On completing the programme, you will be able to:
- Decompose existing roles into tasks and rate each for automation, augmentation or retention.
- Assess the realistic capability, cost and risk of AI and automation tools for specific work processes.
- Model future workforce scenarios covering headcount, skills mix and labour cost.
- Design new roles, job families and organisation structures that combine human and machine work.
- Plan reskilling, redeployment and sourcing decisions using a build, buy, borrow and bot framework.
- Apply responsible AI and fair-process principles when consulting staff and their representatives.
- Develop a phased redesign roadmap with clear governance and workforce metrics.
