Ken’s Bio

Ken Charman has been involved in major enterprise software projects since 1987, specifically in financial consolidation and reporting systems, and has built high-performance teams in IT start-ups that were acquired by Oracle, SAP, IBM and Sungard. In 2009 he headed up Simulstrat, a spinout start-up from the King's College London Department of War Studies, that ran simulations and corporate wargames to test business strategy, including response to the Swine Flu epidemic, and which was later sold to Deloitte. 

Ken is now the CEO of tech startup company, uFlexReward - a cutting edge HR tech platform that collates all costs to do with employees (salary, pension, bonus, shares etc) into one real time platform. The technology was built for Unilever, underpinned by agile methodology, and has now been rolled out across Unilever globally; it’s a case study Ken presents to masters students at the University of Oxford.

Recognising how crucial total reward data is in being able to look at early choices when it comes to workplace restructuring post COVID-19, Ken’s team has now designed a corporate wargame for companies to research alternative solutions to redundancy as the pandemic continues to wreak economic havoc.

Ken’ s Advice

 

I'm gonna go back to that plea, to HR to stand up and lead the world. It needs us in this moment of crisis. So, it's not advice. It's a request that we show the way that we show that there are other things that we can do to help companies survive and cut costs and create a fairer society. I'm asking people in HR to do a great job.
