In today’s data-rich environment, workforce leaders face unprecedented challenges—from geopolitical uncertainty and persistent labor shortages to rapid, AI-driven disruption. How can organizations move beyond dashboards and reports to stay agile, competitive, and strategically prepared?

This session presents a case study showcasing how a leading organization integrated external labor market insights with internal data to drive informed, consequential decisions. Through this practical example, you’ll see how labor market intelligence can be used to anticipate challenges and outcompete peers in a rapidly evolving landscape.

The session introduces Beacon, Lightcast’s next-generation workforce intelligence platform, and explores how it enables real-time, scenario-based planning across the enterprise. You’ll also see how the recent acquisition of Rhetorik, a company and people profile data provider, enhances visibility into who is driving workforce trends—not just what’s happening—helping organizations target talent more effectively, benchmark competitors, and unlock new strategies across recruiting, mobility, and compensation.
