Talk Synopsis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How can a mature organisation with its own cultural legacy change from a norm of knowledge hoarding to one of knowledge sharing? This talk will focus on lessons learnt as a knowledge worker in a major Hong Kong corporation, including some of the pains and some of the gains.<\/p>\n

Danal will discuss how change management techniques combined with solid information architecture have been employed to aid Hong Kong\u2019s multi-project railway expansion programme, achieving organisational change to enable improvements and innovations through knowledge sharing and collaboration.<\/p>\n

The talk will focus on the application of practical KM tools and how the programme continues to evolve year on year to address current challenges and business needs.<\/p>\n
