Digital Transformation : Navigating the Journey<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker : Euan Semple ( 1st KM manager at the BBC) ,UK\n<\/h3>\nKeeping up with the pace of change is challenging us all, not least because of the speed and impact of technological advances. Digital Transformation is the biggest strategic issue facing organisations and being able to influence the direction they take is our most exciting opportunity.\n<\/br><\/br>\nThe future will be built on a mix of technology, culture, and new styles of leadership, all of which call on us to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges. Learning faster and sharing better was always the promise of the internet but we have rather gone astray. How do we rediscover the power, literally in our own hands, of helping ourselves, and our organisations, to survive and to thrive?\n<\/br><\/br>\n
Bio<\/b><\/h3>\nEuan Semple has been a leader and an influencer in the ever changing field of digital technology for two decades. An early adopter of social media he implemented one of the world’s first enterprise social network systems inside the BBC. He also ran BBC DigiLab, a department whose purpose was to help the BBC understand new technologies across the range of its activities and make better decisions about their use and implementation. \n<\/br><\/br>\nHe left the BBC in 2006 to establish his own consultancy and has subsequently worked around the world with an amazing range of organisations including BP, The World Bank, The European commission, and Volvo. His work with them has been to help stretch their thinking about digital transformation in all its forms and to ensure that they end up doing the right things for the right reasons.\n<\/br><\/br>\nEuan is also a Principal Advisor for CIO Connect HK, an advisory service for CIOs and business leaders.\n<\/br><\/br>\n
II :- The Role of KM in Organisational Culture, Agility and Resilience<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker: Professor Dave Snowden Cognitive Edge ,UK<\/h3>\nManaging knowledge should always have been focused on making better decisions and in creating the conditions for innovation. The ability to do that effectively requires a culture of collaboration and self-organisation which is difficult to achieve in the normal goal orientated approaches that are too common in modern organisations. We need to start journeys with a sense of direction and purpose but with the flexibility to adapt to circumstances that could not have been anticipated at the time. How do we map our culture? How do we make sure that it has sufficient cognitive and experiential diversity to ensure resilience and sustainability? How do we accommodate and work with conflict for positive outcomes. Above all how do we ensure the continuous development of knowledge not just in codified form, but also through the oral tradition and trans-generational practice.\n<\/br><\/br>\n
Bio<\/h3><\/b>\nThe Cynefin Centre exists to apply natural science to social systems in particular Complexity Theory and the Cognitive Sciences. It arises from Dave\u2019s original work in IBM\u2019s Institute for Knowledge Management where he created an approach which became known as Organic Knowledge Management, challenging the dominant idea that knowledge had to be codified. \n<\/br><\/br>\nHe was one of the early practitioner\/academics to challenge the validity of Nonaka\u2019s SECI model. His paper from that period Complex Acts of Knowing is one of the top ten cited papers in the field and his HBR cover article in Leadership is the third most sited in the field of Complexity and Leadership. His business career began in Decision Support System Design in a UK firm in the early days of computing where he rose to the position of General Manager and Strategy Director. Following an IBM takeover of his company, he moved to research\/Thought Leadership role in IBM and developed a body of work on weak signal detection for DARPA before and after 911. He left IBM 16 years ago to create Cognitive Edge and co-designed Singapore Government\u2019s Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning System. \n<\/br><\/br>\nHe has a BA in Philosophy and an MBA in Financial Management and also holds visiting Chairs at the Universities of Pretoria, Stellenbosch and Hull. Over years he has held various other academic positions and acting as an advisor at board level to a range of companies and other bodies around the world. \n<\/br><\/br>\n
III :- Applying AI to Language<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker : Dion Wiggins , Omniscien , Thailand<\/h3>\n<\/br>\nMost applications of AI are focused around numeric challenges. However, recent applications of AI in the processing of text across languages is quickly changing the perspective of where machine learning and AI techniques can be applied to solve complex problems. Research and commercial development has now begun to focus on comprehensive workflows the leverage ensemble data from many sources into a more accurate and reliable outcomes that often far exceed human capabilities.\n<\/br><\/br>\nCase studies in this presentation represent the different contexts of machine translation, media processing, ecommerce, fraud detection and employee motivation from the perspective of working with, processing and understanding language and the resulting benefits to the business and employees.\n<\/br><\/br> \n

He has comprehensive knowledge in the fields of software development, architecture and management, as well as an in-depth understanding of Asian ICT markets. He is an accomplished speaker and has a high media profile for his perceptive analysis of ICT in Asia Pacific.\n<\/br><\/br>\nPreviously Dion was Vice President and Research Director for Gartner based in Hong Kong, where his research reports on ICT in China had a crucial impact on how the world views this market. Dion is also a well-known pioneer of the Asian Internet Industry, being the founder of one of Asia\u2019s first ever ISPs (Asia Online in Hong Kong). In his role as consultant, Dion advised literally hundreds of enterprises on their ICT strategy.\n<\/br><\/br>\n
IV :- Computervision and AI<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker: Niall Dorr imagedeep , HK<\/h3>\n<\/br>\nComputer Vision is a technology that is improving every year. As the software gets easier to understand and as the Cloud players are in full push mode for customers to use their AI algorithms the propagation of ‘computers that see’ will gain traction.\n<\/br><\/br>\nAs a practical engineer, Niall will begin by explaining in simple terms what computer vision is and then chart a variety of case studies of commercial applications. Based on more than 25 years\u2019 experience , Niall will also highlight some of the show the pit falls that need to be avoided in implanting Computer Vision. \n<\/br><\/br>\nHe will end by addressing when does a AI engine succeed the human outputs in the work place. First lesson, it\u2019s not the technology that wins, it\u2019s the process. \n<\/br><\/br>\n
Bio<\/h3><\/b>\nNiall is the solutions advisor to ImageDeep Solutions, a Hong Kong based AI company.\n<\/br><\/br>\nHe has worked over 25 years in the computer vision industry since qualifying as an Telecommunications Engineering graduate of Trinity College Dublin and the Dublin Institute of technology.

V :- Innovation and profit growth through collaborative knowledge co-creation<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker : Arthur Shelley ,Australia<\/h3>\n<\/br>\nWe all know that collaboration is a good thing and has inherent social value. However, like knowledge sharing and loyalty, it does not get the leadership investment and attention it should in most workplaces. The presentation will share how a knowledge ecosystem fuels the success of a fast growing and highly profitable entrepreneurial business. Blackmagic Design, a Melbourne based entrepreneurial broadcast technology enterprise that adapts its products so fast that competitors can\u2019t keep up. They implement the principles of collaboration, creativity and inclusive conversations to stimulate sustained innovation and growth. In their first 16 years of operation, Blackmagic Design moved from a self-funded start up to over USD300 Million turnover, with good profitability, no debt and no external ownership.\n<\/br><\/br>\n

VI :-Can Artificial Intelligence be Creative?<\/h3><\/b><\/br>\n
Speaker : Vincent Ribere ,Thailand<\/h3>\n<\/br>\nVarious studies predict that in few decades many procedural jobs will be replaced by computers and robots, but can computers also take over jobs involving some levels of creativity? Until recently, most researchers will have answered \u201cNo\u201d to this question, but recent advances in the field of AI might make them think twice. During his talk Vincent will present how AI can practically contribute to the various aspects and processes of Creativity. \n<\/br><\/br>\n

VII :- Making Knowledge visible in Emergency Management<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker : Stuart French, Country Fire Authority in Melbourne, Australia<\/h3>\n\n<\/br>The Country Fire Authority manages 53,000 volunteer fire fighters in one of the most fire-prone environments in the world. Knowledge of safe & effective practices, local geography, resources and critical infrastructure is essential to achieving our mission of saving lives and property from fire, and yet managers struggle to manage the generation and transfer of this knowledge due to it’s intangible nature.\n<\/br><\/br>\nJust like Watson and Crick changed all of biology when they visualized the double-helix structure of the DNA molecule, the CFA needed a way to visualize knowledge across the agency in order to protect brigades from critical knowledge loss, as well as make better use of the knowledge assets spread across the organisation.\n<\/br><\/br>\nA tool has been developed and ground tested as a proof of concept and has been met with enthusiasm by head-office and regional leaders as a way of identifying current and future areas of concern as well as identifying the impact of local leaders on the sustainable management of volunteer fire brigades. This presentation outlines the development of the tool and discusses some of the dashboards and the questions they answer.\n<\/br><\/br>\n\u2022 An insight into the concept of making intangible assets tangible<\/br>\n\u2022 An example of one way this has been done in a highly visual and interactive way<\/br>\n<\/br>\n
Bio<\/h3><\/b>\nStuart is currently the head of the Knowledge Program at the Country Fire Authority in Melbourne Victoria.

He has played a leadership role in the KM community both locally in Melbourne and internationally with the KM Global Network and love evangelizing the power and effectiveness of good knowledge management.\n<\/br><\/br>\n
VIII :-Why do People Seek Knowledge? Tracing Factors that Affect Knowledge Seeking Intention<\/h3><\/br>\n
Speaker: Manoj Hariharan ,India<\/h3>\n<\/br>\nThe field of Knowledge Management has enormous understanding about the motives and means for sharing knowledge and how organizations create facilitating conditions to foster a sharing culture. i.e., the producer side of the knowledge economy seems well addressed. A brief look at existing social media platforms reaffirms this understanding. But what about the consumer problem? In this talk, Manoj will outline factors that affects the employee\u2019s knowledge seeking intention from a study that he conducted together with a research scholar in his organization. Manoj believes that the field of Knowledge Management needs to readjust the focus towards the other side of the coin.\n<\/br><\/br>\n
