We were really delighted to be able to invite everyone to a special lunch event in November of 2008 with an international speaker from an organisation renowned for the application of Knowledge Management — the World Bank.
The World Bank’s mission requires a global strategy to share knowledge effectively and to ensure that people who need that knowledge get it on time, whether from the World Bank or other organisations. Sharing knowledge enables the World Bank to respond faster to client needs, deliver a quality
product, encourage innovation, and continually introducenew services to its clients. These goals are of course shared by most businesses.
The talk by Nicolas Gorjestani, a former World Bank CKO, was certainly a highlight of the year for the HKKMS. His insights were very special and quite inspiring. Nicolas was in HK for only 24 hours so it was the only chance to see him at that time. Luckily for us, he came back later in 2009 to speak again.
