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

Talk Synopsis

The best models we have for designing systems that create, sustain, and foster organisational learning and development are natural “learning organisations,” like a rainforest or the human brain. The primary area of study and domain of action of Knowledge Ecology is the design and support of self-organising knowledge “ecosystems,” in which information, ideas, insights, and inspiration cross-fertilize and feed one another, free from the constraints of geography and schedule.

This talk will address:

1. An intelligence-based view of the firm
2. How AI tools may power up the Collective Intelligence Enhancement Lab (CIEL) and related knowledge systems technologies
3. What next-generation learning organisations need to learn to make themselves more fully available to the benefit of AI-Enhanced Knowledge Ecosystems

 

Facilitator: George Pór  
Date : Tuesday, 23rd October 2018
Time: 6:30pm until 8.00pm
Location: 22nd Floor, United Centre, Admiralty, Central

 

The talk will be highly interactive. It will outline the core idea of a current research project and provide space for exploring some of the “collective intelligence” distinctions in action.

The meeting is $200 for non-members and free for HKKMS & KMIRC members. Please reserve your place by registering below. Further details of the speaker can be found below.

Since 1990s, there is an obvious shift from an information-based economy to a knowledge-based economy (KBE), which emphasizes on the production, distribution and application of knowledge and information. The tourism and hospitality industry is one of the first KBE sectors to apply large-scale utilization of ICT for the improvement of its service products. However, the nature of tourism and hospitality industry is heavily labor-dependant and span-organizational, which requires continuous knowledge management efforts within and outside of the organization.

This talk will address three issues, which are:

1. KM and KM applications in tourism and hospitality industry;
2. Knowledge demand and supply in tourism and hospitality industry;
3. Challenges and opportunities.

Hopefully the talk will contribute to a better understanding of what knowledge is in need, who can supply the required knowledge and how that knowledge can be managed for the tourism and hospitality industry.
