Orgvue & Lightcast join forces to enhance workforce strategy

Orgvue has announced a strategic partnership with Lightcast, aimed at integrating labour market analytics into its organisational design and planning platform.

This collaboration allows Orgvue users to access Lightcast's global talent intelligence data directly within the Orgvue platform. The integration facilitates matching labour market insights such as skills availability, job demand and supply, and compensation with organisational roles. It aims to support companies in identifying workforce risks and making informed workforce planning decisions through a unified platform.

Chris Kibarian, Chief Executive Officer of Lightcast, highlighted the need for such a comprehensive approach. "Companies today need a more holistic approach to workforce planning, one that considers both internal capabilities and external labour market realities. Together, Lightcast and Orgvue provide organisations with a powerful, data-driven approach to ensure they have the right people with the right skills at the right time," he explained.

Oliver Shaw, Chief Executive Officer of Orgvue, emphasised the necessity of combining organisational data with market insights. "Organisational data alone is not enough to keep pace in today's rapidly changing business environment. Businesses need their finger on the pulse of what's happening in the market from a talent and skills perspective if they're to compete effectively," he stated. Shaw further added, "This partnership changes the game on strategic workforce planning and equips organisations with the critical market intelligence needed to proactively shape their workforce, optimise talent investments, and achieve more sustainable workforce transformations."

Lightcast's data will enable organisations to enhance workforce transformation initiatives by aligning internal talent with changing market demands. Companies will also be able to improve workforce agility with access to real-time insights into skills availability and hiring trends. Optimising talent investments is another feature of this partnership, aiding companies in identifying gaps, reducing mismatches, and making data-driven decisions.

The partnership further supports skills-based planning through the use of external benchmarks, helping organisations build resilient workforces. This collaboration is seen as a significant advancement for businesses poised to leverage workforce trends for sustained success. By merging internal organisational data with external labour market intelligence, Orgvue and Lightcast aim to empower companies to develop more agile, skills-focused, and future-ready workforces.
