The talk summarises the lessons learnt from nearly 200 cases of Knowledge Management journeys by Hong Kong and Asian enterprises. Much of the data is gained through the extensive number of student, consultancy and research projects carried out or supervised by KMIRC staff at private companies, non-profit social services organizations and government departments. The projects include KM readiness assessments, knowledge audit, strategy formulation, taxonomy design and maintenance, cultural assessment and organizational change, knowledge retention from near-retirees, requirements elicitation and selection of collaboration tools including portals, search engine assessments, configuration and continuous improvements, IC reporting and many more. The speaker will outline the challenges and their respective solutions, the theory-practice gap, as well as some easy “entry points” into KM.
This talk is an extended version of an award-winning presentation delivered at the recently held European Conference on Knowledge Management, Udine, Italy.
How to Harvest Knowledge Through “After Action Review”?2016
This workshop will cover the development history and evolution of After Action Review as well as different types of implementation models. Through the use of case studies and interactive exercise, application of this tool to support knowledge development and capturing will be illustrated. Management and governance issues associated with the deployment and operation of this knowledge capture tool in a corporate environment will also be studied.
「香港最受推崇知識型機構大獎」[Hong Kong Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Award]是享負盛名的知識管理獎項,旨在鼓勵本地企業善用知識管理,將知識及無形資產轉化為企業的寶貴資源,並表揚企業有關的傑出成就。在企業推行知識管理,不但有助管理層作出更好的決策,而且能促進企業的學習文化建設、鼓勵組織創新和可持續增長。
推行知識管理除了為大型企業帶來效益外,其實也可幫助一些知識密集的中小型企業,包括資訊科技 、顧問、專業、服務業及依賴科技的製造業提升企業的無形資產, 減少員工流失所引致的影響。有見及此,香港理工大學知識管理及創新研究中心於去年推出香港最受推崇知識型中小企大獎 [Hong Kong MAKE Award (SME)],今年已是第二年,以鼓勵更多的中小企業推行知識管理。
Workshop on Knowledge-based Service Innovation2016
The world’s economy is increasingly service-based. More than 75% of GDP in the developed markets including Hong Kong are produced by services. Service innovation in both services and manufacturing sectors is shaping up as a significant transformational force in these developed economies. Accordingly, firms in developed markets are becoming service centered, and focused on enhancing the customer experience. Service centered firms often co-create value with their customers through the dynamic configuration of their people (knowledge), processes and technologies which, collectively, are known as organizational capabilities.
Hong Kong MAKE Award 2015 is open for application now! 2016
The MAKE Award is a prestigious global award, and it was launched in Hong Kong by the Knowledge Management and Innovation Research Centre (KMIRC) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2008. The purpose of this award is not just to acknowledge the commitment of companies and organisations in Knowledge Management (KM), but also to bring the public recognition to those organisations that have achieved outstanding performance in KM activities.
Seminar on winning recipes from best knowledge enterprises2016
The Global Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Award is an international benchmark of best practice knowledge management. This prestigious international award was launched in 1998 and sought to recognize organizations which out-perform their peers in creating stakeholders values by practising knowledge management and intellectual capital management. The launch of the MAKE Award provides a platform for enterprises to benchmark their KM performance with organizations locally, regionally and globally. It also encourages local organizations to start their KM journey. Through participation, an organization needs to analyze its strengths and weaknesses against the eight assessment criteria and strives to make improvement. As a result, its productivity, competitiveness and sustainability can be enhanced.
The success stories of these awardees are invaluable for enterprises which aim to embark on a corporate KM journey, or continue to flourish from existing KM implementation.

Cloud computing & big data for service innovation & learning2016
Cloud Computing and Big Data for Service Innovations & Learning
Up till now, most of the adoption of cloud computing focusses on the automation and consolidation of traditional IT services. As such, the gains are confined to the uniformity of control, cost reduction and better governance. Recent adoption of the cloud has gradually moved into tactical and even strategic levels thereby demonstrating a high level of gains for using the cloud for business transformations and innovations. Such benefits include dynamism in business model compositions and speed and ease in orchestrating service innovations in the cloud. This talk will shed light on how massive and rapid accumulation of data in the cloud can support human-machine cooperative problem solving and re-define the landscape of Open Innovation and Connectionist Learning via a Knowledge Cloud.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Largest university in Hong Kong with 27,000 EFT
students (local, mainland China & overseas)
• A considerable proportion of students routinely
travels to mainland China for business
• Transitioning from a 3 years to a 4 years UG
system (double cohort)
• Gained prior experience on delivering E-Learning
via HKCyberU (for about a decade)
• “Blended Learning” has been set a target in 2
consecutive 5 years Strategic Plans

14. PolyU’s Journey into MOOC
• To MOOC or not to MOOC? (Not a binary answer)
– Embed links to incorporate one or more MOOC lectures in
existing PolyU subjects
– Use entire MOOC subject with/without own assessments, &
with/without own support
– License & adopt the entire MOOC subject
– Maintain the right degree of mix in a program portfolio
• Leverage on the MOOC journey & experience to advance blended
learning & enhance quality of on-campus subjects
• Experimenting with the “Flipped Classroom”
• Appears to be a “WIN (Teachers)-WIN (Students)-WIN (University)“
proposition that warrants further exploration
• Planning to host a MOOC forum on 3-4th July 2013 in Hong Kong
17. Many challenging issues remain …
• What subjects are more suitable hence should go first?
• Would students (staff) embrace this new paradigm of
learning (teaching)?
• How to assess the Quality of a MOOC subject/course?
• Assessment? Online? In-person? How to conduct?
• Credit transfer between universities in a MOOC
Consortium?
• How to maintain PolyU’s own branding, reputation, &
our niche?
• How to “reverse engineer” (exit plan) from a MOOC?
• …
