Perspectives on July event “Unlocking intellectual capital”

Commentary, Meetings No Responses »

Jul 222012

Dr John Dumay, presented a pragmatic and useful presentation, that was targeted to Intellectual Capital (IC) practitioners.

Some of the more useful and standout points (at least for me) were:

Entering into IC, is often done from the accounting perspective, which results in locking into an paradigm that can limit the effectiveness of IC in an organisation. It can get “lost”.
Strategic introduction of IC into an organisation allows “unlocking of IC” for real change and to enable individual managers and teams achieve individual goals.
Dr Dumay’s study of IC within an Italian Utilities company, initially focused towards assessing whether measuring and report IC could aid in assessing whether the company is better fulfilling customer needs, during potential merger discussion that IC report was invaluable to assess fit and improve integration with a new partner.
Conclusion reached is that sometime a formal “accounting” approach to IC is needed, especially for new comers.
Undertaking a full company wide IC reporting project needs full management support. If this level of support is not present it is possible and pragmatic to undertake smaller business unit or departmental approach to introduce IC practices.

I do believe that implementation of IC is company specific and you need to take stock of what is the reality within the company that you work, personally speaking I think you do need some measures and indicators, and these need to be carefully designed, but this has to be balanced, overly complicated measurement approaches will inhibit real benefits.

Further perspectives from anyone is welcome.

Reduce the impact on Knowledge Loss from Babyboomers retirement syndrome

Meetings No Responses »

Apr 192012

Millions of baby boomers worldwide, aged above 50 will be leaving their jobs in the next few years as they retire from the workforce. This unprecedented wave of baby boomer retirement, which has attracted plenty of media attention, is hitting Hong Kong now and will continue into the next 10 years. Many baby boomers have spent their entire career, or high portion of them in one organization. Besides their own expertise, they have also accumulated a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience about how mechanisms work, how tasks got done, and who to contact when issues and weak signals emerge. In many cases, this practice and decision making knowledge is extremely difficult to replicate because it has been developed in an era of unprecedented technological advances and complex business landscape.

Join us for this talk which will outline some measures organizations can adopt in order to retain critical know-how and reduce knowledge loss due to staff retirement. Supplemented with case examples, the speakers will share some solutions on enabling knowledge sharing and retention in an organization.
