The webinar, held virtually on April 28, 2026, featured Ibem Idika, Group Head, Human Resources and Administration at SystemSpecs Holdings Limited, as keynote speaker.

Speaking during the session, Ibem Idika noted that organizations must begin to see workforce data as a strategic business asset rather than merely an administrative necessity.
“HR is no longer just about managing people; it is about unlocking intelligence from the workforce,” he said while highlighting the growing importance of predictive analytics, workforce intelligence, digital HR systems, and AI-powered decision-making in modern organizations.
He further emphasised that businesses that leverage workforce intelligence effectively will gain stronger competitive advantage in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven business environment.
