...Technology will help improve operational efficiency by eliminating outdated processes within the healthcare sector...

Monday 11th January 2010 - ikonami, a provider of bespoke learning software systems for Government, Independent Healthcare and National Health Service (NHS) organisations, will be exhibiting at Learning Technologies, 27-28 January 2010 at Olympia 2, London (stand 86).

According to ikonami, investment in human capital within the public services is not a discretionary expenditure. Organisations particularly in the healthcare sector rely more heavily upon public sector employees during a downturn as more people fall sick. So there is an additional responsibility to make the most of public funds and maximise on existing resources.

Kubair Shirazee, CEO of ikonami comments, “Effective talent management and ensuring staff have the right skills at the right time is always a challenge - but concrete workforce intelligence can be used to create a roadmap that prioritises training needs. By listing the organisation’s objectives over the next 2, 5 or 10 years, HR professionals can define how many people are needed with specific skills and attributes at each level, and compare that to employee profiles.  Learning Management Solutions can effectively help organisations by identifying skills and resource gaps. 

In light of budgetary cuts, training existing staff should take priority, as it’s cheaper than new recruitment. In this respect, some public sector organisations are ahead of the game.  While private companies normally leverage technology first, the public sector is now rolling out world-class systems like the NHS’s Electronic Knowledge and Skills Framework (e-KSF), an integrated human capital management system that puts competency at the core of individual performance and organisational efficiency.  Our experience has shown that technology can radically help improve HR’s operational efficiency, eliminate outdated processes, reduce costs and improve patient safety.” The Learning Technologies exhibition, now in its eleventh year, is Europe's leading showcase of organisational learning and the technology used to support learning at work.

The two day event will attract more than 3,000 visitors, show case 130 exhibitors and will host 60 free seminars.
