THECOMPANY

Ekam Learning Solutions is an organizational develop-

ment company based in Ghana and focused on profes-

sional development for employees and change manage-

ment for organizations.

We support our clients in conducting needs analysis in

their organizations and implementing change to steer them

to perform optimally. We also conduct assessment centers

and recruit for organizations; as well as offer learning gap

analysis for employees in relation to their organizational

goals.

At Ekam, we are aware of the challenges that businesses

face in achieving set objectives. General lack of basic ana-

lytical and critical thinking skills are necessary for compa-

ny growth and even with this, there are often painful yet

necessary changes that have to be implemented for firms

to operate at optimum.

We are what we doThe development of talent and growth of firms is why we

exist as Ekam. We strive to make the world a better place

by investing in the most valuable and expensive asset of

the company, ‘Human Resource’. Where other people don’t

see dysfunctions, we see them as gaps and deliver the most

robust and customized solutions that not only put firms on

the path to growth but steer sustainable growth.

The desire to see companies fledge, a co-working global

community and optimum utilization of resources keep our

heads up. Good is not best for us, excellence and profes-

sional service position us as a key partner to all our clients.

We dare to be different by making the most of the challeng-

es that firms face in the increasingly complex world and this

is an obligation we owe to clients by running through their

entire business models and promising tried and tested

solutions to make their businesses function even better.

challenges growing up the ladder, and there is need to have a

dedicated team with the right skill set and motivation to do the

job. It is these values that we have constantly cultured within us

and deliver the same to the clientele we serve. The values define

how we work, how we do them and as such govern our ways to

success despite the different backgrounds and cultures.

The industrywide acceptance as a leader in professional training

and organizational development space stems from the trust be-

stowed upon us on the high standards of transparency in all that

we do and the focus with which we instill excellence.

our clients. How we think individually is collectively geared and di-

Over time our clients have bestowed the trust on us in delivering

the most robust solutions to infuse growth to them while handling

the most confidential information and very ambitious projects.

painful question in the quest to offer the best

solutions at stake in pushing businesses to see

the challenges as opportunities for growth in an

ever-dynamic world.

ExcellenceThe burning desire to handle a diverse clientele

base regardless of the growth stage with the

same level of zeal and commitment towards

delivering the best approaches in the solutions

we offer sets us apart in the industry.

ProfessionalismThe centerpiece of the way we approach our

clients, engage on fruitful discourse, and convert

them to partners is the principle we have taken

years to understand and instill in every inter-

action point we have with clients and that is

exceptional professionalism.

Results/Impact orientedWe do not only provide solutions to our clients,

but conduct an in-depth needs analysis assess-

ment before delivering unmatched solutions

that are sustainable with the long-term strategy.

What makes us even more happy at Ekam is

seeing companies grow beyond the limitless

opportunities in the market place.

TransparencyAt Ekam we value transparency and that is why

we consistently embark on instilling integrity not

only within our own staff but we stretch this over

to the clientele we serve by conducting business

with distinctive quality and resolute openness.
