Skillsoft Marks 10th Anniversary of its Groundbreaking Learning Growth Model
If you are looking for a new Human Capital Management (HCM) System, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 16 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HCM vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
NASHUA, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Marking the 10-year anniversary of its Learning Growth Model®, Skillsoft introduced an updated whitepaper that illustrates the transformation of training into learning and includes the most recent innovations in the learning industry. Initially developed in 2003 to help organizations chart a realistic direction on their path to learning optimization, the five-stage model aligns learning with strategic business goals, leading to increased cost savings, productivity, performance, employee retention and competitive advantage. A new infographic was also developed that outlines the latest version of the Learning Growth Model and is available at: http://on.fb.me/14HOiic. Skillsoft is a pioneer in the field of technology-delivered learning with a long history of innovation and delivering solutions for its customers worldwide, ranging from global enterprises, government, and education to mid-sized and small businesses.
The Learning Growth Model is detailed in Skillsoft’s whitepaper, The Skillsoft Learning Growth Model: A Blueprint for Integrating Learning into the Life of the Enterprise in Five Manageable Stages. The whitepaper presents a clear business value for linking learning to organizational business goals to increase the value and impact of the learning program. Organizations can learn how to transform learning from skills-focused training to business-focused learning that aligns with strategic business goals and provides a greater business value. A key phase in this process is reaching strategic transformation, which is the minimal position for all organizations that seek to align learning to business goals and are focused on building the optimum transfer of learning into the workplace.
“Developing talent is an organizational imperative as the demand for innovative, leading edge talent is intensifying with no sign of slowing down. Industry experts estimate that 55-80 percent of what people learn is lost or not applied to the job. This puts pressure on organizations to justify the time and resources they dedicate to learning,” said John Ambrose, senior vice president, strategy, corporate development and emerging business, Skillsoft. “By closely correlating a learning program with tangible business goals, organizations can improve knowledge retention and document a return on their learning investment. Our whitepaper and infographic are excellent tools for guidance through this process, which transforms basic training into integrated learning.”
The five stages of the Skillsoft Learning Growth Model are:
Stage 1 – Supplement. In this stage, elearning is introduced to address scalability challenges and reduce costs. New elearning resources address a backlog of demand for skills-based training that could not be delivered via traditional methods due to high costs. Reduced travel costs, design and development costs, instructor time and learners’ time away from work all contribute to significant cost savings.
Stage 2 – Targeted. During stage two, targeted learning begins to support specific initiatives and job roles. This stage expands earlier results and provides elearning in new workplace areas. Elearning resources replace redundant classroom training, which further reduces learning costs. Executive support typically increases during this stage of the Learning Growth Model.
Stage 3 – Strategic. Learning is aligned to strategic business objectives and begins to connect to talent management to increase the value and impact of learning during stage three. This is the most pivotal stage in the Learning Growth Model and marks the transformation from skills-focused training to business-focused learning and is a major point of change into a new learning paradigm.
Stage 4 – Integrated. Stage four is marked by increasing talent and accelerating organizational agility. Organizations that reach this stage have successfully woven learning into the fabric of the organization. Learning is focused on accelerating business results, deepening the talent pool and creating an agile, empowering, productive and creative organization.
Stage 5 – Optimized. Organizations at the optimized stage have fully matured and are focused on deepening talent and broadening learning to the extended enterprise. Elearning is branched out to the organization’s supply chain, customers, etc. Learning has become globally ubiquitous and seamlessly integrates into the workplace.

MAD Greens — Inspired Eats, a fresh concept on salads based in Colorado, and PeopleMatter, the only comprehensive HR Platform designed for the service industry, recently released ROI results from their partnership in streaming the company’s HR processes. In July 2011, MAD Greens selected PeopleMatter’s automated tools to streamline the entire hiring process into one online Platform. In nine months, the company tracked a 50 percent reduction in manager time spend while increasing data accuracy and ensuring 100 percent compliance.
Prior to implementing PeopleMatter talent management solutions, MAD Greens used paper-based hiring. The growing company struggled to complete required paperwork in a timely fashion. With a small executive staff the greater challenge was ensuring accuracy while tracking requirements, deadlines and updates. With PeopleMatter in place, the restaurant chain could use one central, online location to input, process and store information.
“At MAD Greens, we all wear a lot of hats and it is hard to find time for everything,” said Marley Hodgson, MAD Greens CEO and co-founder. “Taking care of your staff is a full-time job but we don’t always have that luxury. PeopleMatter essentially acts like another team member and that’s critical.”
One of the staffing challenges MAD Greens faced early on was assessing applicants to ensure consistency in hiring decisions. It was a time issue, managers didn’t have time to do the process efficiently. The entire hiring and onboarding process could take up to two weeks. PeopleMatter HIRE™ cut the processing time down to three days and the managers’ time spent on hiring in half. The software also allows the “MAD” company to put a little of its culture into the online onboarding process. Hodgson actually took the time to film a welcoming video for employees to be introduced to the MAD Greens mission.
“It’s a consolidated Platform, helping increase operational efficiency and providing a place our company culture can reside as much as possible on the Internet,” said Hodgson. “It’s really nice when I walk in a store and a new hire says, ‘Hey, I just watched a video of you welcoming me.’”
For MAD Greens, the number one benefit from using PeopleMatter solutions is the accuracy of the data. The “scary proposition” of company audits are in the past. Now the simplicity of the Platform ensures that the restaurant chain’s information is 80 percent more accurate and in an easy-to-access location.
“The PeopleMatter Platform is designed well and clearly thought out,” said Hodgson. “Lots of systems say they are simple, this one actually is. And simplicity is where it is at in our business.”
“Working with exceptional people who believe in your corporate mission is what makes serving our clients so satisfying,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter president and CEO. “MAD Greens is really using the software the way it is meant to be used.”

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that three companies — Advanced Health Media, Credit Union of Texas, and Karl Strauss Brewing Company — have chosen Ultimate Software’s cloud-based UltiPro solution to consolidate HR processes, deliver better and faster reporting, improve accuracy of workforce information with one master system of record for employees, and increase overall efficiencies.
Many organizations rely on multiple systems, paper forms, and disparate databases to manage, track, and plan a range of vital HR and talent management functions. Some businesses also use external services and payroll service bureaus, which can add additional levels of complexities and difficulties. Frequent business challenges include redundant effort; cumbersome and often inaccurate reporting; inconsistent or incomplete data that requires reconciliation; and confusion among stakeholders about which source of information is truly accurate. As a result, the productivity of HR declines, systems administration takes precedence over strategic initiatives, and the lack of efficiencies impacts the overall business.
Many organizations are using UltiPro’s comprehensive HCM functionality and capabilities to address these issues as well as expand the strategic contributions of their HR teams.
Advanced Health Media, LLC, is the leading global provider of technology-enabled services designed to manage compliant interactions with healthcare professionals for the highly regulated pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries. The service provider had been using multiple systems provided by a payroll service bureau, but often experienced issues with a lack of integration, inaccurate or delayed reporting, as well as extra costs. The company selected UltiPro in March 2013 so that its information related to recruitment, onboarding, payroll, benefits, performance management, succession management, and time management will be in sync, easily reportable, and immediately accessible to all.
“We need one solution to efficiently and effectively manage our HR and payroll,” said Renée De Franco, senior vice president of human resources at Advanced Health Media. “UltiPro provides the right strategic HR, payroll, and talent functionality for our business — without requiring the administration needed to transfer data back and forth among multiple systems. We’re really looking forward to the ease of use, the instant access to information, as well as the cost and time savings by not having to double-check information and fix problems when we had multiple systems for HR management.”
Credit Union of Texas, with over $1 billion in assets, is ranked as one of the top 10 credit unions in the state of Texas by asset size and serves more than 142,000 members. The nonprofit’s HR processes had been distributed across six separate systems — each with its own software, log-in, and database. Because the interfaces between these systems were limited, the same data had to be manually entered into the multiple programs and spreadsheets. The credit union selected UltiPro in March 2013 to solve its HCM challenges.
“Multiple systems create much more work than is necessary,” said John-Paul Morgante, vice president of human resources at Credit Union of Texas. “The inefficiency and lack of quality for reporting was an even higher concern. For example, with these systems, three people had to compile data just to generate companywide HR reports. With different log-ins and passwords, employees and managers also get frustrated when using a half-dozen different systems. UltiPro’s intuitive platform will provide a smoother, more enjoyable experience for our end users. By automating our processes in one single solution, UltiPro will deliver significant benefits to our teams, managers, employees, and the overall business.”
Karl Strauss Brewing Company is a San Diego-based craft brewery, ranked #44 on the list of top craft breweries in the U.S. In addition to being available at the company’s seven Brewery Restaurant locations, its beers are sold at over 3,000 restaurants, bars, and retail stores across California. According to Molly Brooks, HR director at Karl Strauss Brewing Company, the primary driver for seeking a unified HCM platform was healthcare reform. With its previous system, the HR team and managers could not address companywide reporting needs related to new and upcoming legislation. The company chose UltiPro in April 2013.
“With an expanding workforce and more locations, we needed a single, easy-to-use HCM solution to centralize employee data so we can generate accurate reporting quickly and ensure compliance,” said Brooks. “With the right technology in place, we can make a significant impact on our organization. We’re looking forward to having UltiPro as our one system of record, and business benefits will include better reporting, more operational efficiencies, and improved communication.”
“In addition to automating and streamlining processes, UltiPro’s unified HCM provides organizations with end-to-end functionality that delivers strategic data to upper-level executives and managers that can strengthen decision-making,” said Chris Phenicie, chief sales officer for UltiPro Workplace at Ultimate Software. “With our cloud-based technology, diverse organizations — across all industries and of all sizes — can see business benefits very quickly. We’re very pleased that UltiPro will support Advanced Health Media, Credit Union of Texas, and Karl Strauss Brewing Company as each organization builds an efficient, people-centric environment and, as a result, becomes better positioned to meet its unique business goals.”

“This year was especially difficult,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. SilkRoad technology shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the finalist. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring North America award. We know that this year’s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far.”
Finalists for the 2010 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health.

Talent Management Solution Provider Finishes Off First Quarter with more than 45 New Clients, International Expansion, Platform Upgrades and New Employee Data Management Offerings
HRchitect featured iCIMS in our May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. iCIMS competed in the HRchitect Beauty Pageant on Talent Acquisition Systems in November 2008 and mid-market Talent Acquisition Systems in January 2009, where they were crowned the winner of each. iCIMS will be competing in the upcoming HRchitect Beauty Pageant on Talent Acquisition Systems on August 21, 2009. Adam Feigenbaum and Susan Vitale from iCIMS appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on December 12, 2008.
If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, talk to HRchitect first. We have unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is here to help!
iCIMS, the second-largest provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition solutions, today released the company’s first quarter summary. In addition to unprecedented sales both domestically and abroad, iCIMS experienced a growing number of organizations signing on to the Talent Platform for employee data management. Incorporated in February of 2000, this quarter also marked a decade in business for iCIMS and in many ways, a decade of unwavering excellence in the talent management space as this quarter’s figures reflect. Finishing Q1 with such momentum positions the company for another record breaking year in both the US and international markets.
This quarter more than 45 leading organizations around the world signed onto iCIMS’ Talent Platform. Notable client additions include Sharp, S&B Engineers, Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW), Hanger Orthopedic Group and many more. Continuing the overarching trend from last year, the majority of these renowned organizations are from the mid-market; further strengthening iCIMS’ position as the global mid-market leader. iCIMS’ continued success in the mid-market is greatly attributed to the Talent Platform’s ease of use and inherent flexibility. This high degree of flexibility is greatly valued by mid-market organizations that are looking to invest in a system that is capable of expanding to meet their evolving corporate vision. In addition to offering customers such superior candidate management offerings as applicant tracking, CRM, workforce planning and onboarding, the Talent Platform provides mid-market organizations with such robust employee management tools as performance management, talent & competency profiles, employee referral programs and more. Furthermore, these organizations can take advantage of iCIMS’ revolutionary new platform upgrade- iCIMS 10. This newest version further optimizes talent lifecycle processes with its redesigned Graphical User Interface (GUI), additional time-saving features and enhanced reporting capabilities.
This past quarter iCIMS also experienced impressive international growth, successfully expanding its international presence and tripling its UK operations. Leading companies, including Sony Music UK, joined the hundreds of organization turning to iCIMS’ talent platform to support their international talent management needs. The iCIMS Talent Platform gives such organizations the ability to establish and promote global recruitment campaigns with multi-lingual Career Centers for candidates, and a fully searchable and reportable back-end database for end-users. With the recent release of iCIMS 10, the web-based software solution is now equipped with even more advanced international offerings including a multi-lingual spellchecker in English, Spanish, German, Italian, and French.
In addition to this record breaking sales momentum, iCIMS’ recently unveiled suite of employee data management software is taking the marketplace by storm with both new and existing customers signing on at a staggering rate. This past quarter alone, such leading organizations as Apptis and ICDC Colleges turned to iCIMS’ Talent Platform for complete employee data management functionality. Beyond the management of demographic information and position history, iCIMS’ employee data management software enables human resource professionals to automate a myriad of once cumbersome, paper-intensive tasks. These enhanced features coupled with iCIMS’ already advanced talent management offerings, enable the Talent Platform to support the end-to-end talent lifecycle of mid-market organizations around the world.
“Entering into the new decade with this level of sales momentum is a key indicator of the Talent Platform’s inherent value and long term success,” said Adam Feigenbaum, iCIMS’ Chief Operating Officer. ”With its revamped interface, enhanced international offerings and overall ease of use, iCIMS 10 will further strengthen iCIMS’ position as the global mid-market leader. As an organization, iCIMS has great things in store for 2010 and I look forward to the continued momentum”.

With more than 24 years of sales experience in the software and Human Capital Management (HCM) markets, Mr. Beaumont has proven expertise in building high-performance sales organizations and bringing broad market and product knowledge to customers around the world.
“Mr. Beaumont’s superior performance in the HCM software industry comes from listening to customers and the market, from diligently understanding the solutions available and from having the business acumen to marry the two to benefit customers,” said Charles S. Jones.
Mr. Beaumont brings extensive experience developing sales strategy, product pricing, promotion and competitive positioning for organizations in the technology and HCM industries. Mr. Beaumont will be leading the sales team of the newly combined Company, reporting directly to Mr. Jones.
“I have seen many companies acquired and merged with other organizations throughout my career.

Peopleclick Authoria is executing well in both these areas,” said Tim Beaumont, Senior Vice President of Sales at Peopleclick Authoria. ”I’m delighted to join the team — and look forward to building on the momentum and success that Peopleclick Authoria has been achieving.”

During his tenure at Kenexa, Mr. Beaumont led his team to increased sales bookings resulting in near-term revenue growth for the Company.
“For the last ten years, I have watched Mr. Beaumont’s enormous success as a sales leader for Talent Management vendors before they even called themselves (or became) Talent Management companies. He is an incredibly strong sales leader,” concluded Bill Kutik, Independent Analyst, Co-Chair of Human Resource Executive’s HR Technology® Conference and Host of The Bill Kutik Radio Show®.
