1) The document discusses continuous innovation and moving from a focus on just technology to focusing on the customer. It provides examples of Apple innovating from the original Apple computers to the Apple App Store.
2) Examples are given of understanding customer-centric systems through understanding the customer's entire lifecycle, as seen in the example of HSBC bank.
3) The discussion shifts to a concept called NICE (Netbook Inclusion for Children Empowerment) which aims to deliver hope through connecting underprivileged children through affordable netbooks and networks while teaching important life skills.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document discusses a presentation on mobile eLearning and the changing landscape of education. Key points include a vision for student-centric learning, how ubiquitous wireless access and mobile devices are enabling learning anywhere anytime, and how this is transforming education from a teacher-centric model to one focused on student needs through collaborative and personalized learning. Initiatives of the eLearning Consortium to support this transition are also outlined.
The document discusses how organizations can transform themselves to thrive in the Web 2.0 era. It suggests that organizations rethink their value propositions and focus on user-generated content, community building, and providing resources through social networks and mobile apps. Leaders need to understand new generations who want content and services that are free, accessible anywhere, and can be easily shared with others. To succeed, organizations must actively engage in social media by building a strong online presence and communities around their topics.

Survey hk school it infra may2012 press confErwin Huang
The survey found that while most teachers and schools want to adopt eLearning to improve teaching and learning, the current school IT infrastructure is not ready to support eLearning. Specifically, most schools lack sufficient WiFi networks, broadband connectivity, and technical support staff to implement eLearning. Therefore, investments are needed to upgrade school IT systems before eLearning can be widely adopted.
This document discusses social innovation and provides examples of various social projects. It begins with the author's personal journey in social entrepreneurship and sharing experiences in Hong Kong. Examples of projects discussed include using technology to save lives during disasters, creating an affordable smartphone to help the poor, and a program that provides low-income children affordable access to netbooks and digital literacy training through a servant leadership model. The document emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation, understanding customer needs, and having a purpose and focus on serving others.

About Web Organic
The goal of WebOrganic is to provide the means to the needy students for learning over the Internet. Hardware and software support will make eLearning possible, and Web learning opens up new opportunities.
We firmly believe that information technology is one of the most important tools in building a good foundation for the young through education, and that it elevates the learning interest and develop the latent potentials of the students. Our program aims to generate hope with a special focus on the underprivileged.
The sprouting bean, our icon, represents Hope, Chance and Choice. It is a WebOrganic virtuous circle that denotes growth and innovation for the younger generation through eLearning and peripheral support.
This document discusses Erwin Huang's career in sustainable innovation, beginning with his early work designing the logo for Apple Daily newspaper. It outlines projects he worked on moving from safety handsets to the iPad, as well as from PoorMate, an early PDA, to inclusive digital projects. The bulk of the document focuses on NiCE, a project providing low-cost netbooks and internet access to school children in Hong Kong, discussing its community support and goals of bridging the digital divide. The key messages are that innovation must consider the customer experience and focus on inclusion, not just technology, and that Erwin Huang's career has centered around such sustainable and customer-centric innovation.
