HKKMS : The official site of the Hong Kong Knowledge Management Society

Abstract:

This talk focuses on increasing digitalisation which lead to the emergence of the networked economy. Though knowledge remains the only infinitely renewable resource in organisation, the traditional value disciplines pursued by organisations and societies have been constantly challenged. In the networked economy, value is typically created by exchange of data and information leveraging off the network effect. The speaker will place particular emphasis on how digitialisation will impact knowledge management together with the associated challenges and oppoo.ortunities. Data, cloud and people hold the key to success. KM tools and technologies that will play significant roles will also be outlined, together with industries and organisations that can accomplish quantum improvements after successful digital transformations.

Collaboration is key to 21^st century organisations by adding value and generating transformative insights from the sharing of knowledge. Humans are hard-wired to transmit and respond to others’ knowledge when the knowledge is expressed through storytelling. Story gets through “attention spam” because it deals in memorable meaning, focuses on patterns and connections and delivers universal emotion and empathy.

Date : Friday 13th July
Time: From 9.00 am until 1.00pm
Location: 16^th Floor, Prince’s Building , Central

We are now delighted to announce a half day MasterClass given by one of KM’s top thought leaders, Paul Corney. The Masterclass will be held between 2.30 and 5.30pm on Monday 13th November.

 

MasterClass Leader : Paul Corney
Date : Monday 13th November
Time: From 2.30 and 5.30pm
Location: 17^th Floor, Edinburgh Tower, Landmark , Central

 

 

The fee for HKKMS/KMIRC members will be HK$800, and HK$1200 for non-members. Places are limited. Please complete the registration form below to reserve your place.    Further details can be found below.

The MasterClass will address two themes of importance to the success of organisations;

“Creating a knowledge sharing environment: the role of HR & IT professionals”

Organisations that set out to create an effective knowledge sharing environment will need to overcome many barriers. Most are behavioural and societal, encompassing leadership and engagement. The role of the HR & IT professional in this process is key.

In facilitating this session Paul will draw on research conducted for his co-authored book “Navigating the Minefield: A Practical KM Companion” and numerous assignments carried out in Asia, Middle East and The Americas. He will identify potential drivers for the creation of a knowledge sharing environment, examine the pitfalls that are likely to arise and suggest how HR & IT can support such an environment.

 

“Reducing risk and enhancing value by capturing and exploiting an organisation’s critical knowledge”

Most organisations face the challenges of:

• ensuring new joiners hit the ground running in the shortest time possible by equipping them with the knowledge and information they need to do their job
• transitioning staff into new roles so that when they are reassigned they have sufficient time and access to the knowledge and information they need
• capturing experience and knowledge from staff close to retirement, completing a project assignment, whose job might be disappearing or who are leaving to pursue another career so that their knowledge (and networks) are not lost.
