Case Study: Stryker raises talent intelligence and improves strategic talent decisions with Stratigens

How Stratigens is helping to raise the game of talent intelligence at Stryker

Stryker, a global med-tech firm, sought to better inform its strategic decisions regarding skills supply and location strategy through data-driven talent intelligence. The challenge for their small talent intelligence team, led by Meta McKinney, was to shift the senior leadership’s approach from using data to validate decisions to leveraging it for proactive, forward-looking planning. To achieve this, they utilized Stratigens, a labour market analytics platform, as a key data source.

Using Stratigens, the team produced detailed labour market reports analyzing key job families, talent supply and demand, cost, and diversity metrics. This solution enabled Stryker’s leadership to make informed decisions on site locations and access to niche skills, ultimately ingraining data into their day-to-day and long-term planning. The outcome was a significant rise in the value of talent intelligence within the company, with leadership increasingly requesting deeper data dives and using the insights for budgetary and strategic conversations. Stratigens provided the quality, targeted data necessary to ensure no talent decisions are made in a vacuum.
