Valedictory Speech delivered by Donna Tse at the HKPolyU Faculty of Engineering Congregation Ceremony 2012. It was indeed a very proud moment for all those who were present, our existing students, the M.Sc. in KM program and me (Eric Tsui). Thank you Donna, you have delivered with confidence, respect, clarity, and dignity.
Lessons learnt from nearly 200 cases of knowledge management journeys by hong...2016
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.

「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.

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.

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Donna Tse’s Valedictory Speech at the Faculty of
Engineering Congregation Ceremony 2012
Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering
Editor's Notes
Honorable guests, Faculty Dean, Professors, Parents and Fellow Graduates, Ladies and Gentlemen, good afternoon. To my fellow graduates, congratulations on your graduation!A valedictory speech is normally about “thanking people”. Well, who to thank? Can you name them? For sure, there are many to thank; the name list certainly is long but please relax, I’ll make it short and sweet; just to express heartfelt appreciation, and in no particular order. My dear Department of ISE, thank you for this opportunity allowing me to speak at this moment. I am honored to be a valedictorian, and feel humble to be standing here in front of so many accomplished graduates. Now let’s turn to those who are close to us; our families and loved ones. There is no doubt that we students have learnt so much in all sorts of areas; technology, planning logistics, enterprise systems, and management. I am very proud of being a member of this student body. However, without the support of our families and loved ones, none of us would have come this far. Please allow me to ask two questions. Have you ever had your little boy or girl rush up to you and say “daddy, mummy, come to play with me” when you were so busy with your assignment? Before you say “later”, your little child fetched a piece of homework, sat next to you, and start working like you did?? How sweet?? Have you ever had your wife or husband says to you at the moment when you open your book, “Hey honey, try not to work too late.” Then, went out and came back with a cup of coffee. Your answer may probably are NO, NEVER, but these are in fact, true stories. Perhaps, the following stories are more familiar. Your mum tiptoed into your room and urged you to go to bed at two in the morning while you were studying, or you complained when your boyfriend kept playing his online games next to you whilst you were buried in your papers. Did they bother you? Try not to think this way, they never stopped you, they did this because they were concerned about you and wanted to support you. Our accomplishments are definitely built upon their care and silence. Therefore, I would like to thank all our loved ones for providing us with their support so that we can succeed. A million thanks to all our parents, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, and honeys!! Who else to thank? I remember when we first entered university, we were full of doubts. All of us were pulled out of our comfort zone, and pushed into a new environment, with new teachers, mentors, and peers. Some of us soon realized that things were going to be different in adapting to these new environments, while others struggled with their old values, and had problems adjusting. Whoever we were, the staff in ISE were always there for us, and gave us every support, whilst we undertook the journey of our studies. Have you ever experienced a situation, after you had prepared for a project presentation, and after all your efforts, you were expecting your professor to say “excellent” and “well done”, but then they said “I think you can do better”. How sad you felt, thinking ‘oh professor, I thought I did better than that!’ I guess you have also come across the case that when you got lost in writing an assignment, the librarian showed you the books you needed, and your mentor told you, that you were on the right track and carry on, you felt great and full of strength!! On this afternoon, we must thank all the staff in the PolyU, who have helped make this graduation ceremony possible. With their guidance, wisdom and motivation, piece by piece we learned, pace by pace we succeeded. Apart from our studies, one of the most important things we have learnt from them is "how to build relationships, and respect each other's differences". This will no doubt be valuable to us as we go forward in life. Professors, teachers, mentors, we are proud to have been your students; a million thanks to you all!! Now, who else to thank on this afternoon? In time, we progressed as individuals to form a unified community. And for this afternoon, we are here to graduate as a united whole. As we learned how much we need each other to succeed, there are peers and classmates we need to thank. Thanks to those who arranged study groups and helped us with past papers. Thanks to those who generously shared their experiences and fiercely debated with us. Thanks to those who teamed with us in completing our projects. And thanks to those who always reminded us of assignment deadlines. My dear peers and classmates, a million thanks to you all! Is that all? Am I finished? Not quite yet! Please don’t forget to thank yourself! Please, be proud of what you have devoted to pursue your goals, and be proud of what you have achieved! As we graduate, this is the start of a new part of our life, pursue what your heart believes, treasure the people around you, and lead a life to the full. Confucius said, "Wherever you go, go with all your heart"! I wish you all every success, work hard, play fair, and hold your heads high. May our paths still cross, and may we meet again in the future. Thank you for listening to me and I wish you all a pleasant and fruitful tomorrow.
